    Wireless communication encompasses cellular telephony systems (mobile communication), wireless sensor networks, satellite communication systems and many other applications. Studies relevant to wireless communication deal with maintaining reliable and efficient exchange of information between the transmitter and receiver over a wireless channel. The most practical approach to facilitate reliable communication is using channel coding. In this dissertation we propose novel coding and decoding approaches for practical wireless systems. These approaches include variable-rate convolutional encoder, modified turbo decoder for local content in Single-Frequency Networks, and blind encoder parameter estimation for turbo codes. On the other hand, energy efficiency is major performance issue in wireless sensor networks. In this dissertation, we propose a novel hexagonal-tessellation based clustering and cluster-head selection scheme to maximize the lifetime of a wireless sensor network. For each proposed approach, the system performance evaluation is also provided. In this dissertation the reliability performance is expressed in terms of bit-error-rate (BER), and the energy efficiency is expressed in terms of network lifetime

    [[abstract]]Adaptive modulation communication systems have been popular nowadays. The tradeoff between the symbol error rate and the data rate resulting from the constellation option is crucial in adaptive modulation. In this paper, we propose a constellation subset selection (CSS) approach to seek this tradeoff and design novel efficient approximation algorithms to tackle the CSS problems. The new theorems and studies on the algorithmic and systematic aspects for the constellation subset selection are facilitated. Our attempt to cope with the CSS problems would be valuable for the future communication systems with adjustable constellation sets.[[fileno]]2030167030004[[department]]電機工程學
