From consideration of how an actual optimised system would perform over a time-varying channel, a more realistic P/sub epsilon / reference is derived. This leads to a new S/N measure that is a better indicator of channel quality. Application of the reference is demonstrated by evaluation of the performance of a RLS lattice DFE HF modem receiver.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":342857,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1992 South African Symposium on Communications and Signal Processing","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114139457","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}

The Miller-Rabin test is currently one of the most efficient ways of determining whether a given odd integer is composite. Repeated use of this test allows one to certify an integer as 'probable' prime with an arbitrary small probability of error. Based on the observation that prime numbers tend to occur in clusters, or constellations, an algorithm is proposed for the efficient generation of large primes. It is readily implementable on an IBM-PC.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":342857,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1992 South African Symposium on Communications and Signal Processing","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117259433","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}
