It is shown that linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimation directly follows from the derivation, and links average mutual information to the channel dynamics. Based on the assumption that known training symbols are transmitted, the achievable rate of the system is optimized with respect to the amount of training information needed.","PeriodicalId":288814,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2001 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (Cat.

Here we further refine the analysis and study the \"fading number\" /spl chi/, which we define as the limit of the difference between channel capacity and log(1+log(1+SNR)). It is suggested that at high SNR, i.e., at rates that significantly exceed the fading number, a capacity increase of one bit per channel use requires the squaring of the SNR, or equivalently, the doubling of the SNR as expressed in decibels. In this loose sense, the fading number can be viewed as the channel limiting rate for power-efficient communication. Note, however, that the fading number may be negative. While the use of multiple antennas does not typically change the double-logarithmic asymptotic dependence of channel capacity on the SNR, multiple antennas do typically increase the fading number, albeit at times (e.g., in the Rayleigh fading case) only in an additive way that grows only logarithmically with the number of antennas.","PeriodicalId":288814,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2001 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (Cat.

So far, most studies have been done on BITCM systems designed using rectangular QAM signal sets. In this paper, we address the problem of finding some constellations that would be more suitable than rectangular QAM for designing power efficient BITCM. When the parameter M is in the form M=2/sup 2p/ where p is an integer, we show that rectangular QAM constellations are surprisingly the most attractive signal sets for the design of power-efficient BITCM schemes over AWGN channels. This is not necessarily true with Rayleigh fading channels.","PeriodicalId":288814,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2001 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (Cat.

The new code designs take advantage of the big-numerator/little-denominator principle along with specially designed interleavers to outperform previously designed turbo codes over the entire range of signal-to-noise ratios. Puncturing at the encoder is used to produce low-complexity codes with excellent performance at code rates of 1/2 and 1/3. The multiple parallel concatenation and puncturing results in turbo-like encoders which are either partially systematic or completely nonsystematic. Comparisons with the proposed 8-state turbo coding standard and with other low-complexity alternative code designs are included.","PeriodicalId":288814,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2001 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (Cat.

In a phase-wrapped image, the original image values are measured modulus a known wavelength, A. The goal of phase unwrapping is to produce an estimate of the original image using an a priori preference for smooth images. We formulate phase unwrapping as the problem of computing a vector field that is an estimate of the gradient field of the original image. A preference for smooth images is obtained using a Gaussian prior on the vector field. For a vector field to be a gradient field, it must satisfy the constraint that the sum of the vectors around every closed loop is zero. We enforce this constraint using \"zero-curl checks\" in a factor graph on the vector field. The sum-product algorithm in this factor graph is used to approximately compute the posterior probabilities of the vectors. Hard decisions are used to produce a vector field, which is integrated to obtain the unwrapped image. Experimental results show that this method can work significantly better than existing techniques for phase unwrapping. Although phase unwrapping for general image priors is NP-hard, we conjecture that the sum-product algorithm in an appropriate factor graph will lead to a near-optimal unwrapping algorithm for Gaussian process sources.","PeriodicalId":288814,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2001 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (Cat.
