As an extension to the popular hidden Markov model (HMM), a hidden semi-Markov model
(HSMM) allows the underlying stochastic process to be a semi-Markov chain. Each state has …

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 …

Hidden semi-Markov models (HSMMs) are among the most important models in the area of
artificial intelligence/machine learning. Since the first HSMM was introduced in 1980 for …

This tutorial paper gives an overview of the implementation aspects related to turbo
decoders, where the term turbo generally refers to iterative decoders intended for parallel …

The LTE standard [1], will soon be upgraded to LTE advanced, which will add new
techniques like multi user MIMO using iterative demodulation, cooperative multi point …

The Internet and the devices that connect to it consume a growing and significant amount of
electricity. The utilization of desktop-to-switch Ethernet links is generally very low and thus …

Most of advanced wireless standards, such as WiMAX and LTE, have adopted different
convolutional turbo code (CTC) schemes with various block sizes and throughput rates …

This paper proposes a new soft-input soft-output decoding algorithm particularly suited for
low-complexity high-radix turbo decoding, called local soft-output Viterbi algorithm (local …

Today iterative receivers have proved their efficiency in cancelling interference within the
field of wireless communications. However their complexity is often seen as a brake for their …

In order to meet the latency requirements of the ultra-reliable low latency communication
(URLLC) mode of the third-generation partnership project's long term evolution (LTE) mobile …
