The latency caused by (de)interleaving and iterative decoding in conventional MAP turbo decoder can be dramatically reduced with the proposed scheme. The main cause of the time reduction is to use radix-4, center to top, and parallel decoding algorithm. The reduced latency makes it possible to use turbo decoder as a FEC scheme in the real-time wireless communication services. However the proposed scheme costs slight degradation in BER performance because the effective interleaver size in radix-4 is reduced to a half of that in conventional method. To ensure the time reduction, we implemented the proposed scheme on a FPGA chip and compared with conventional one in terms of decoding speed. The decoding speed of the proposed scheme is faster than conventional one at least by 5 times for a single iteration of turbo decoding","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

The tap-gain and spatial correlations of the MIMO system are also analyzed. A MIMO-channel characterization platform has been developed for channel sounding in a frequency selective fading environment. Capacity results from these experiments are discussed in an indoor office environment. The measurement data are analyzed to obtain the correlation statistics as well as their effect to the MIMO capacity. It is shown that the MIMO capacity in the wideband case depends on all the correlation effects. It is thus important to quantify the spatial correlations at transmit and receive sides as well as the tap-gain correlations to accurately estimate the capacity.

This increases the importance of nonlinear coupling effects such as four wave mixing (FWM) and cross-phase modulation (CPM). These impairments, together with chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise limit the maximum reach of the optical links. Maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) receivers can incorporate detailed knowledge of the statistical properties of noise and crosstalk into the decision process, therefore improving performance in the presence of these impairments. These receivers have been previously proposed in [(W. Sauer-Greff et al., 2003), (H.F. Haunstein et al., 2001)] to combat CD and PMD in IM/DD optical channels. In this paper we propose to extend the use of MLSE to DWDM links to combat the combined effect of nonlinear crosstalk, dispersion and noise. We derive a new analytical expression for the statistics of the received signal in the presence of FWM which is necessary to implement the MLSE receiver. As a second important contribution of this paper, we present a theoretical performance analysis of MLSE in DWDM optical channels. Computer simulations show excellent agreement between the prediction of the theory and simulation results","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

We present here an information theoretic framework for clustering user-tracking information. One would like to cluster the information in such a way that given the clustered information at a remote location, the number of bits required to reconstruct the complete information is minimum. This minimizes the overhead of transporting these extra description bits for reconstructing the complete information, whenever it is required at the remote location. Finding the optimal clustering to minimize the conditional description of an information has good bounds in the set of good solutions of the problem of partitioning n weights into k subsets such that the largest and the smallest subset sums is minimized. However, the latter problem of partitioning is an NP-complete problem but good heuristic algorithms exist which provide suboptimal solutions. We discuss some of these heuristic strategies to achieve suboptimal clusters, present a lower bound and an estimate of an upper bound to our optimal solution and show that the heuristic solution is quite close to the optimal solution","PeriodicalId":333629,"journal":{"name":"The Ninth International Conference onCommunications Systems, 2004.

The error performances of such schemes over fast and slow Rayleigh fading channels are derived. It is shown that on fast Rayleigh fading channel, the code effective length and the product distances should be maximized to achieve higher performance gain, while on slow Rayleigh fading channel, the minimum squared Euclidean distance between the pairwise sequences should be maximized. Furthermore, we show that this trellis coded beamforming scheme outperforms the space-time trellis coded beamforming schemes.
