Space-time coding techniques with bit-interleaved coded modulations for MIMO block-fading channels
The space-time bit-interleaved coded modulation (ST-BICM) is an efficient
technique to obtain high diversity and coding gain on a block-fading MIMO
channel. Its maximum-likelihood (ML) performance is computed under ideal
interleaving conditions, which enables a global optimization taking into
account channel coding. Thanks to a diversity upperbound derived from the
Singleton bound, an appropriate choice of the time dimension of the space-time
coding is possible, which maximizes diversity while minimizing complexity.
Based on the analysis, an optimized interleaver and a set of linear precoders,
called dispersive nucleo algebraic (DNA) precoders are proposed. The proposed
precoders have good performance with respect to the state of the art and exist
for any number of transmit antennas and any time dimension. With turbo codes,
they exhibit a frame error rate which does not increase with frame length.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Trans. on Information Theory, Submission: January

Practical LDPC coded modulation schemes for the fading broadcast channel with confidential messages
The broadcast channel with confidential messages is a well studied scenario
from the theoretical standpoint, but there is still lack of practical schemes
able to achieve some fixed level of reliability and security over such a
channel. In this paper, we consider a quasi-static fading channel in which both
public and private messages must be sent from the transmitter to the receivers,
and we aim at designing suitable coding and modulation schemes to achieve such
a target. For this purpose, we adopt the error rate as a metric, by considering
that reliability (security) is achieved when a sufficiently low (high) error
rate is experienced at the receiving side. We show that some conditions exist
on the system feasibility, and that some outage probability must be tolerated
to cope with the fading nature of the channel. The proposed solution exploits
low-density parity-check codes with unequal error protection, which are able to
guarantee two different levels of protection against noise for the public and
the private information, in conjunction with different modulation schemes for
the public and the private message bits.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, to be presented at IEEE ICC'14 - Workshop on

Turbo Packet Combining for Broadband Space-Time BICM Hybrid-ARQ Systems with Co-Channel Interference
In this paper, efficient turbo packet combining for single carrier (SC)
broadband multiple-input--multiple-output (MIMO) hybrid--automatic repeat
request (ARQ) transmission with unknown co-channel interference (CCI) is
studied. We propose a new frequency domain soft minimum mean square error
(MMSE)-based signal level combining technique where received signals and
channel frequency responses (CFR)s corresponding to all retransmissions are
used to decode the data packet. We provide a recursive implementation algorithm
for the introduced scheme, and show that both its computational complexity and
memory requirements are quite insensitive to the ARQ delay, i.e., maximum
number of ARQ rounds. Furthermore, we analyze the asymptotic performance, and
show that under a sum-rank condition on the CCI MIMO ARQ channel, the proposed
packet combining scheme is not interference-limited. Simulation results are
provided to demonstrate the gains offered by the proposed technique.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, and 2 table
Selective Combining for Hybrid Cooperative Networks
In this study, we consider the selective combining in hybrid cooperative
networks (SCHCNs scheme) with one source node, one destination node and
relay nodes. In the SCHCN scheme, each relay first adaptively chooses between
amplify-and-forward protocol and decode-and-forward protocol on a per frame
basis by examining the error-detecting code result, and () relays will be selected to forward their received signals to the
destination. We first develop a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold-based
frame error rate (FER) approximation model. Then, the theoretical FER
expressions for the SCHCN scheme are derived by utilizing the proposed SNR
threshold-based FER approximation model. The analytical FER expressions are
validated through simulation results.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures, IET Communications, 201
Short Codes with Mismatched Channel State Information: A Case Study
The rising interest in applications requiring the transmission of small
amounts of data has recently lead to the development of accurate performance
bounds and of powerful channel codes for the transmission of short-data packets
over the AWGN channel. Much less is known about the interaction between error
control coding and channel estimation at short blocks when transmitting over
channels with states (e.g., fading channels, phase-noise channels, etc...) for
the setup where no a priori channel state information (CSI) is available at the
transmitter and the receiver. In this paper, we use the mismatched-decoding
framework to characterize the fundamental tradeoff occurring in the
transmission of short data packet over an AWGN channel with unknown gain that
stays constant over the packet. Our analysis for this simplified setup aims at
showing the potential of mismatched decoding as a tool to design and analyze
transmission strategies for short blocks. We focus on a pragmatic approach
where the transmission frame contains a codeword as well as a preamble that is
used to estimate the channel (the codeword symbols are not used for channel
estimation). Achievability and converse bounds on the block error probability
achievable by this approach are provided and compared with simulation results
for schemes employing short low-density parity-check codes. Our bounds turn out
to predict accurately the optimal trade-off between the preamble length and the
redundancy introduced by the channel code.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, to appear in Proceedings of the IEEE
