Spatially-Coupled LDPC Codes for Decode-and-Forward Relaying of Two Correlated Sources over the BEC
We present a decode-and-forward transmission scheme based on
spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes for a network
consisting of two (possibly correlated) sources, one relay, and one
destination. The links between the nodes are modeled as binary erasure
channels. Joint source-channel coding with joint channel decoding is used to
exploit the correlation. The relay performs network coding. We derive
analytical bounds on the achievable rates for the binary erasure time-division
multiple-access relay channel with correlated sources. We then design bilayer
SC-LDPC codes and analyze their asymptotic performance for this scenario. We
prove analytically that the proposed coding scheme achieves the theoretical
limit for symmetric channel conditions and uncorrelated sources. Using density
evolution, we furthermore demonstrate that our scheme approaches the
theoretical limit also for non-symmetric channel conditions and when the
sources are correlated, and we observe the threshold saturation effect that is
typical for spatially-coupled systems. Finally, we give simulation results for
large block lengths, which validate the DE analysis.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communications, to appea
D11.2 Consolidated results on the performance limits of wireless communications
Deliverable D11.2 del projecte europeu NEWCOM#The report presents the Intermediate Results of N# JRAs on Performance Limits of Wireless Communications and highlights the fundamental issues that have been investigated by the WP1.1. The report illustrates the Joint Research Activities (JRAs) already identified during the first year of the project which are currently ongoing. For each activity there is a description, an illustration of the adherence and relevance with the identified fundamental open issues, a short presentation of the preliminary results, and a roadmap for the joint research work in the next year. Appendices for each JRA give technical details on the scientific activity in each JRA.Peer ReviewedPreprin
