Unfortunately, none of the existing mechanisms address two fundamental problems: (1) noninvasive migration of essential legacy IPv4-only systems to IPv6, and (2) operation of IPv4-only systems on IPv6-only core networks.

We propose a code structure which incorporates Hamming codes into a code's graph, leading to a type of a Tanner code. The incorporation of Hamming codes into the graph, which we call \"Hamming code doping\", tends to lead to larger minimum distances and hence low error-rate floors. We present an iterative decoding algorithm tailored to graphs possessing \"Hamming nodes\". Further, a density evolution analysis based on the Gaussian approximation is presented, which is a useful tool for finding good codes. Finally, we present numerical results of some Hamming-doped Tanner codes simulated on the AWGN channel.

The test bed provides a path for evaluating emerging high data rate waveforms (e.g. tactical OFDM), adaptive cross-layered quality of service behaviors, and network topology management using the distributed network agent (DNA) tool.

The goals of the initiative are to enable interoperability among ranges, facilities, and simulations in a quick and cost-efficient manner, and to foster reuse of range assets and future range system developments. The TENA middleware uses Unified Modeling Language (UML)-based model-driven code generation to automatically create a complex Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) application. This model-driven automatic code-generation greatly reduces the amount of software that must be hand-written and tested. Furthermore, the TENA middleware combines distributed shared memory, anonymous publish-subscribe, and model-driven distributed object-oriented programming paradigms into a single distributed middleware system. This unique combination yields a powerful middleware system that enables its users to rapidly develop sophisticated yet understandable distributed applications. The TENA middleware offers powerful programming abstractions that are not present in CORBA alone and provides a strongly-typed application programmer interface (API) that is much less error-prone than the existing CORBA API. These high-level, easy-to-understand programming abstractions combined with an API designed to reduce programming errors enable users to quickly and correctly express the concepts of their applications. Re-usable standardized objects farther simplify the development of applications. The net result of this combination of features is a significant reduction of application programming errors yielding increased overall reliability and decreased overall development time. Distributed applications developed using the TENA middleware exchange data using the publish-subscribe paradigm. Although many publish-subscribe systems exist, the TENA middleware represents a significant advance in the field due to the many high-level, model-driven programming abstractions it presents to the programmer. The TENA middleware API relies heavily on compile-time type-safety to help ensure reliable behavior at runtime. Careful API design allows a great number of potential errors to be detected at compile-time that might otherwise go unnoticed until run-time - where the cost of an error could be extremely high! The implementation of the TENA middleware uses C++, as well as a real-time CORBA ORB. The TENA middleware is currently in use at dozens of Department of Defense (DoD) testing and training range facilities across the county and has been used to support major test and training events such as Joint Red Flag '05.

The construction phase is based on Kruskal's algorithm for the minimum spanning tree (MST) problem. However, unlike Kruskal's MST algorithm which chooses minimum cost edges from a set of edge weights, our algorithm uses an incremental cost mechanism to select edges.

A novel decomposition of DFT matrix is proposed to reduce the complexity of the cascaded receiver structure.
