However, assuming iterative decoding, convergence of the non-systematic code towards low bit-error rates is problematic. To alleviate this problem, we propose rate-1/2 partially-systematic codes that can still achieve a lower error floor than that of their rate-1/3 parent codes.

One main contribution of this paper is to show that these worst-case interference functions have useful properties, which can be exploited for the design of an efficient iterative algorithm. The proposed iteration minimizes the total transmit power while the worst-case SINR of each user achieves a given target value. By analyzing the properties of the interference functions, we show monotonicity and super-linear global convergence, even though the original problem is non-convex. The iteration always requires less steps than an alternative fixed-point iteration, which has only linear convergence.","PeriodicalId":299513,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Information Theory Workshop - ITW '06 Chengdu","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130224334","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 new design criterion for WSTTCs has been proposed and the good codes based on this criterion have been found by computer search. Simulation results show that the proposed 4, 16, and 64-state WSTTCs not only outperform the standard STTCs with the same number of state by more than 2 dB, but are also superior by about 0.3 dB, 1.1 dB and 2 dB to the conventional beamforming scheme, which allocates full power in the direction of the eigenvector corresponding to the maximum singular value of the channel matrix","PeriodicalId":299513,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Information Theory Workshop - ITW '06 Chengdu","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116116860","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}
