This paper investigates the joint iterative decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and channels with memory. Sequences of irregular LDPC codes are presented that achieve...
Recent works showed how low-density parity-check (LDPC) erasure correcting codes, under maximum likelihood (ML) decoding, are capable of tightly approaching the performance of an i...

—The optimal performance-complexity tradeoff for error-correcting codes at rates strictly below the Shannon limit is a central question in coding theory. This paper proposes a nu...

This paper presents a novel vector quantizer (VQ) design algorithm for a burst error channel (BEC). The algorithm minimizes the average distortion when the BEC is in normal state o...
A discrete (binary-input 2q -ary output) communication channel with memory is introduced with the objective to judiciously capture both the statistical memory and the soft-decision...
