Optical wireless communication (OWC) refers to transmission in unguided propagation
media through the use of optical carriers, ie, visible, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV) bands …

The CRC Handbook of Finite Fields (hereafter referred to as the Handbook) is a reference
book for the theory and applications of finite fields. It is not intended to be an introductory …

This survey guides the reader through the extensive open literature that is covering the
family of low-density parity-check LDPC codes and their rateless relatives. In doing so, we …

Starting from Shannon's celebrated 1948 channel coding theorem, we trace the evolution of
channel coding from Hamming codes to capacity-approaching codes. We focus on the …

In this article we argue that the retail transnational corporation (TNC) is an entity that merits
urgent theoretical and empirical investigation from economic geographers. Using recent …

Most coding theory experts date the origin of the subject with the 1948 publication of A
Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude Shannon. Since then, coding theory has …

This paper proposes protograph-based Raptor-like (PBRL) codes as a class of rate-
compatible low-density parity-check codes for binary-input AWGN channels. As with the …

This paper describes an efficient implementation of binning for decode-and-forward (DF) in
relay channels using low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Bilayer LDPC codes are …

Machine-to-machine communication over long-term evolution advanced (LTE-A) network
has emerged as a new communication paradigm to support a variety of applications of …

The enormous success of advanced wireless devices is pushing the demand for higher
wireless data rates. Denser spectrum reuse through the deployment of more access points …
