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 …

Nowadays energy crisis and global warming problems are hanging over everyone's head,
urging much research work on energy saving. In the ICT industry, which is becoming a major …

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 …

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 …

We construct polar codes for the specific purpose of incremental redundancy hybrid
automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) schemes. The rate compatibility of our scheme is …

A rateless code-ie, a rate-compatible family of codes-has the property that codewords of the
higher rate codes are prefixes of those of the lower rate ones. A perfect family of such codes …

The use of wireless implant technology requires correct delivery of the vital physiological
signs of the patient along with the energy management in power-constrained devices …

Micromachined solid-oxide fuel cells (μSOFCs) are among a class of devices being
investigated for portable power generation. Optimization of the performance and reliability of …

This paper aims at designing a Seamless Rate Adaptation for wireless networking which
achieves smooth rate adjustment in a broad dynamic range of channel conditions …

The problem of efficient communication over a scalar quasi-static fading channel is
considered. The single-layer transmission (SLT) and multi-layer transmission (MLT) …
