At the same time, structured LDPC codes offer the advantage of reduced implementation and storage complexity, so that it is of interest to investigate mathematical design methods for codes on graphs over fields of large order. We propose a new class of combinatorially developed codes obtained by properly combining Reed-Solomon (RS) type parity-check matrices and sparse parity-check matrices based on permutation matrices. The proposed codes have large girth and minimum distance. In order to further reduce the decoding complexity of the proposed scheme, we introduce a new decoding algorithm based on matrix representations of the underlying field, which trades performance for complexity. The particular field representation described in this abstract is based on a power basis generated by a companion matrix of a primitive polynomial of the field GF(2/sup m/). It is observed that the choice of the primitive polynomial influences the cycle distribution of the code graph.","PeriodicalId":269907,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium onInformation Theory, 2004.

A new fundamental relationship is found between the input-output mutual information and the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) of an estimate of the input given the output: The derivative of the mutual information (nats) with respect to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is equal to half the MMSE. This identity holds for both scalar and vector signals, as well as for discrete- and continuous-time noncausal MMSE estimation (smoothing). A consequence of the result is a new relationship in continuous-time nonlinear filtering: Regardless of the input statistics, the causal MMSE achieved at snr is equal to the expected value of the noncausal MMSE achieved with a channel whose SNR is chosen uniformly distributed between 0 and snr","PeriodicalId":269907,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium onInformation Theory, 2004.

Both of these systems are extensions of two users degraded broadcast channels, which achieves a rate region of channels and includes the capacity region of original broadcast channel. We then consider another system, the dumb relay broadcast channel, where an additional relay node is introduced into the two users degraded broadcast channel that assists both user. This relay node does not have its own information from the source, and hence is referred to as dumb relay node. From the results an achievable rate region for this channel is derived and is shown to include that for the cooperative broadcast channel.","PeriodicalId":269907,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium onInformation Theory, 2004.

Instead, we consider relative redundancy that measures the excess number of bits for sequences of a given minimum description length. Low relative redundancy implies that number of bits needed to compress any sequence is essentially the lowest possible. We show that low relative redundancy implies low standard redundancy, that while block relative redundancy resembles block standard redundancy, sequential relative redundancy is twice its counterpart, and that common algorithms achieving standard redundancy have unbounded relative redundancy.","PeriodicalId":269907,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium onInformation Theory, 2004.

We demonstrate a code with simple encoding and decoding for a parallel channel with two diversity branches.
