Four-Group Decodable Space-Time Block Codes
Two new rate-one full-diversity space-time block codes (STBC) are proposed.
They are characterized by the \emph{lowest decoding complexity} among the known
rate-one STBC, arising due to the complete separability of the transmitted
symbols into four groups for maximum likelihood detection. The first and the
second codes are delay-optimal if the number of transmit antennas is a power of
2 and even, respectively. The exact pair-wise error probability is derived to
allow for the performance optimization of the two codes. Compared with existing
low-decoding complexity STBC, the two new codes offer several advantages such
as higher code rate, lower encoding/decoding delay and complexity, lower
peak-to-average power ratio, and better performance.Comment: 1 figure. Accepted for publication in IEEE Trans. on Signal

Optimal reference sequence selection for genome assembly using minimum description length principle
Reference assisted assembly requires the use of a reference sequence, as a model, to assist in the assembly of the novel genome. The standard method for identifying the best reference sequence for the assembly of a novel genome aims at counting the number of reads that align to the reference sequence, and then choosing the reference sequence which has the highest number of reads aligning to it. This article explores the use of minimum description length (MDL) principle and its two variants, the two-part MDL and Sophisticated MDL, in identifying the optimal reference sequence for genome assembly. The article compares the MDL based proposed scheme with the standard method coming to the conclusion that “counting the number of reads of the novel genome present in the reference sequence” is not a sufficient condition. Therefore, the proposed MDL scheme includes within itself the standard method of “counting the number of reads that align to the reference sequence” and also moves forward towards looking at the model, the reference sequence, as well, in identifying the optimal reference sequence. The proposed MDL based scheme not only becomes the sufficient criterion for identifying the optimal reference sequence for genome assembly but also improves the reference sequence so that it becomes more suitable for the assembly of the novel genome
Method for Minimizing Total Generalized Squared Correlation of Synchronous DS-CDMA Signature Sequence Sets in Multipath Channels
We characterize the Total Generalized Squared Correlation (TGSC) for a given signature sequence set used in uplink synchronous code division multiple access (S-CDMA) when channel state information is known perfectly at both transmitter and receiver. We give a definition of the TGSC based on the eigenvalues of Gram matrix associated to signature sequences set for multipath channels in the presence of the colored noise. Total Squared Correlation (TSC) and Total Weighted Squared Correlation (TWSC) measures are particular cases of TGSC. We present a method for minimizing TGSC (TSC, TWSC) in multipath channels and in the presence of the colored noise. Numerical results for overloaded synchronous CDMA systems are presented in order to support our analysis
