Turbo codes and the iterative algorithm for decoding them sparked a new era in the theory
and practice of error control codes. Turbo equalization followed as a natural extension to this …

Near-capacity performance may be achieved with the aid of iterative decoding, where
extrinsic soft information is exchanged between the constituent decoders in order to improve …

Providing an all-encompassing self-contained treatment of Near-Capacity Multi-Functional
MIMO Systems, the book starts by categorizing the family of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output …

The unique design problems which helicopters produce are many and complex. Through
practical examples and illustrated case studies, supported by all the relevant theory, this …

A pair of salient tradeoffs have driven the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems
developments. More explicitly, the early era of MIMO developments was predominantly …

We investigate link-quality metrics (LQMs) based on raw bit-error-rate, effective signal-to-
interference-plus-noise ratio, and mutual information (MI) for the purpose of fast link …

Decoding sequences that stem from multiple transmissions of a codeword over an insertion,
deletion, and substitution channel is a critical component of efficient deoxyribonucleic acid …

The calculation of nonbinary extrinsic information transfer charts for the iterative decoding of
concatenated index-based codes is addressed. We show that the extrinsic information at the …

We propose a norm-based joint transmit and receive antenna selection (NBJTRAS) aided
near-capacity multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) system relying on the assistance of a …

The objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for designing efficient multiple
concatenated coding schemes, consisting of two or more constituent codes, concatenated in …
