Wireless networks are a key component of the telecommunications infrastructure in our
society, and wireless services become increasingly important as the applications of wireless …

Backscatter communication (BackCom) networks enable passive/battery-free Internet-of-
Thing devices, providing reliable, massive connectivity while ensuring self-sustainability, low …

The design of block codes for short information blocks (eg, a thousand or less information
bits) is an open research problem that is gaining relevance thanks to emerging applications …

Massive connectivity of billions of communicating devices for fifth-generation (5G) and
beyond networks requires the deployment of self-sustaining, maintenance-free, and low-cost …

Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding of forward error correction codes is known to be
optimally accurate, but is not used in practice as it proves too challenging to efficiently …

We present a new framework for constructing polar codes (ie, selecting the frozen bit
positions) for arbitrary channels, tailored to a given decoding algorithm rather than assuming …

Non-binary low-density parity-check (NB-LDPC) codes show higher error-correcting
performance than binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes when the codeword length …

Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) is one of the cornerstone services
of fifth-generation and beyond (B5G) wireless networks. The URLLC use cases demand …

This article is a tutorial introduction to the field of unsourced multiple access (UMAC)
protocols. We first provide a historical survey of the evolution of random access protocols …

Error correction coding (ie, channel coding) is a key ingredient of any digital
communications system. In mobile wireless communications, channel codes have evolved …
