This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length error-correcting codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels, and the codes...
—Bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) has been adopted in many systems and standards for spectrally efficient coded transmission. The analytical evaluation of BICM performanc...
—In order to reduce the long runtimes required to simulate hybrid automatic repeat-request (ARQ) systems, such as high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), we propose an informa...
The input-output weight enumeration (distribution) function of the ensemble of serially concatenated turbo codes is derived, where the ensemble is generated by a uniform choice ov...
