Systematic redundant residue number system codes: analytical upper bound and iterative decoding performance over AWGN and Rayleigh channels
The novel family of redundant residue number system (RRNS) codes is studied. RRNS codes constitute maximumâminimum distance block codes, exhibiting identical distance properties to ReedâSolomon codes. Binary to RRNS symbol-mapping methods are proposed, in order to implement both systematic and nonsystematic RRNS codes. Furthermore, the upper-bound performance of systematic RRNS codes is investigated, when maximum-likelihood (ML) soft decoding is invoked. The classic Chase algorithm achieving near-ML soft decoding is introduced for the first time for RRNS codes, in order to decrease the complexity of the ML soft decoding. Furthermore, the modified Chase algorithm is employed to accept soft inputs, as well as to provide soft outputs, assisting in the turbo decoding of RRNS codes by using the soft-input/soft-output Chase algorithm.

A NEW APPROACH OF AN ERROR DETECTING AND CORRECTING CIRCUIT BY ARITHMETIC LOGIC BLOCKS
This paper proposes a unique method of an error detection and correction (EDAC) circuit, carried out using arithmetic logic blocks. The modified logic blocks circuit and its auxiliary components are designed with Boolean and block reduction technique, which reduced one logic gate per block. The reduced logic circuits were simulated and designed using MATLAB Simulink, DSCH 2 CAD, and Microwind CAD tools. The modified, 2:1 multiplexer, demultiplexer, comparator, 1-bit adder, ALU, and error correction and detection circuit were simulated using MATLAB and Microwind. The EDAC circuit operates at a speed of 454.676 MHz and a slew rate of -2.00 which indicates excellence in high speed and low-area.
Demystifying the Information Reconciliation Protocol Cascade
Cascade is an information reconciliation protocol proposed in the context of
secret key agreement in quantum cryptography. This protocol allows removing
discrepancies in two partially correlated sequences that belong to distant
parties, connected through a public noiseless channel. It is highly
interactive, thus requiring a large number of channel communications between
the parties to proceed and, although its efficiency is not optimal, it has
become the de-facto standard for practical implementations of information
reconciliation in quantum key distribution. The aim of this work is to analyze
the performance of Cascade, to discuss its strengths, weaknesses and
optimization possibilities, comparing with some of the modified versions that
have been proposed in the literature. When looking at all design trade-offs, a
new view emerges that allows to put forward a number of guidelines and propose
near optimal parameters for the practical implementation of Cascade improving
performance significantly in comparison with all previous proposals.Comment: 30 pages, 13 figures, 3 table
Blind equalization based on spatial and temporal diversity in block coded modulations
Linear block codes can be applied in spatial and/or temporal diversity receivers in order to develop high performance schemes for blind equalization in mobile communications. The proposed technique uses the structure of the encoded transmitted information (with redundancy) to achieve equalization schemes based on a deterministic criterion. Simulations show that the proposed technique is more efficient than other schemes that follow similar equalizer structures. The result is an algorithm that provides the design of blind channel equalizers in low EbNo scenarios.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
