We show that for NLoS channels they can jointly improve the diversity order and performance by 7.7 dB at BER of 10-2, when compared to the standard self-het OFDM. Similar improvements are observed for channels with strong LoS components.","PeriodicalId":177106,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132614237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is assumed that the source has non-causal channel state information, the relays have no state information and the destination may or may not have state information. First, the capacity is found for the case where the destination has access to the state sequence. It is demonstrated that a joint message and state transmission scheme via binning is optimal. Next, for the case with state information at the source only, lower and upper bounds on the capacity are derived for the general discrete memoryless model. Achievable rates are then computed for the case in which the relays-to-destination cut is affected by an additive Gaussian state.","PeriodicalId":177106,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123840086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the gap from the outage probability remains constant with increasing block length for the proposed RA codes. Besides an easy encoding structure, the proposed RA codes have notably less ones in the parity-check matrix compared to corresponding root-LDPC codes.

An ultra-low delay audio coding scheme based on differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) and block companded quantization is presented. The prediction filter of the base backward DPCM codec is attained as a FIR filter in lattice structure. The proposed block based audio coding introduces an algorithmic latency below one millisecond and an overhead of less than a half bit per sample. The advantage of the block companded quantization with DPCM is the capability to follow rapid changes in the signal. Therefore, it significantly improves the perceptual audio quality compared to a plain DPCM coding scheme with an adaptive quantizer.","PeriodicalId":177106,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114716769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

User selection plays an important role in enhancing the performance of ZFBF systems.

The proposed RS scheme draws on the analogy between the node distribution of the general multi-hop bidirectional relay network model and the trellis of a convolutional code, and applies the Viterbi algorithm in selecting a path to minimize the sum outage probability of two sources. Specifically, the multi-hop bidirectional relay network model is first mapped to a convolutional code trellis. The branch metric in the trellis is defined as the instantaneous SNR of the channel connecting two relays in two adjacent clusters. Therefore, the path metric, which is defined as the minimum of all the branch metrics along the path, approximately equals the equivalent SNR of the multi-hop bidirectional path. Then, the sliding window Viterbi algorithm is applied to select a path between two sources. Simulation results show that the proposed multi-hop bidirectional RS scheme achieves almost the same outage probability as the optimal multi-hop bidirectional RS scheme when the window size is sufficiently large.","PeriodicalId":177106,"journal":{"name":"2013 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132430235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A two state hybrid FSO/RF channel simulator is used to extend the HMM to simulate the daily and seasonal variation of FSO/RF channels. Using the weather statistics of Adelaide, this simple two state channel simulator can predict the fading statistics of the hybrid channel for summer and winter seasons.

The user with the largest weighted signal-to-noise ratio is scheduled, where the weight is a function of the DPS.We then derive analytical expressions for the probability mass function of the DPS, and the SEP of the scheduled user in Rayleigh fading.
