ABSTRACT A Wireless sensor network (WSN) has important applications such as remote
ecological monitoring and target tracking. This has been enabled by the availability …

The past decade has seen many advances in physical layer wireless communication theory
and their implementation in wireless systems. This textbook takes a unified view of the …

Wireless technology is a truly revolutionary paradigm shift, enabling multimedia
communications between people and devices from any location. It also underpins exciting …

Ad hoc wireless networks enable new and exciting applications, but also pose significant
technical challenges. In this article we give a brief overview of ad hoc wireless networks and …

The original turbo codes (TCs), presented in 1993 by Berrou et al., consist of the parallel
concatenation of two rate-1/2 binary recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) codes. This …

Abstract Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) is becoming a widely used source of digital
elevation data. LiDAR data are obtained on a point support and it is necessary to interpolate …

We propose a new turbo-encoding scheme for high spectral efficiency with performance
close to the Gaussian channel capacity. The scheme combines nonuniform signaling on a …

This paper addresses the design and performance evaluation with respect to capacity of M-
PSK turbo-coded systems operating in frequency-flat time-selective Rayleigh fading. The …

This paper presents parallel concatenated turbo codes that employ a non-uniform
constellation to achieve sha** gain. The output signal approximates the Gaussian …

This paper investigates optimal constellation labeling in the context of the edge profile. A
constellation's edge profile lists the minimum-distance edge for each binary symbol error …
