In this paper we develop closed form approximations for the probability density function
(PDF) of the reliability metrics (L-values) in bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM). The …

Optimal binary labelings, input distributions, and input alphabets are analyzed for the so-
called bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) capacity, paying special attention to the low …

In this paper, we propose a novel low complexity scaling strategy of min-sum decoding
algorithm for irregular LDPC codes. In the proposed method, we generalize our previously …

Cooperation has been recently introduced to mitigate the impairments imposed by fading on
a communication channel. A cooperative transmission, in which the destination may …

In the popular bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) the output of the channel encoder
and the input of the modulator are separated by a bit-level interleaver. From the decoder's …

In this paper, we propose a method for evaluation of the bit error rate (BER) for packet
combining based on constellation rearrangement (CoRe). Such map** diversity scheme …

In this letter we derive closed-form expressions for the probability density functions (PDFs) of
the bits' reliability metrics (L-values) in bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) …

Bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) is a flexible modulation/coding scheme which
allows the designer to choose a modulation constellation independently of the coding rate …

Bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) transceivers often use equally spaced
constellations and a random interleaver. In this paper, we propose a new BICM design …

Next generation wireless networks are likely to include cooperative relaying in their design.
The performance of certain cooperation schemes in realistic scenarios should be evaluated …
