New Full-Diversity Space-Time-Frequency Block Codes with Simplified Decoders for MIMO-OFDM Systems
Multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) is known as a promising solution for wideband wireless communications. This is why it has been considered as a powerful candidate for IEEE 802.11n standard. Numerous space-frequency block codes (SFBCs) and space-time- frequency block codes (STFBCs) have been proposed so far for implementing MIMO-OFDM systems. In this paper, at first we propose new full-diversity STFBCs with high coding gain in time-varying channels; the construct method for this structure is using orthogonal space-time block code for any arbitrary number of transmit antenna and then we propose a decoder with linear complexity for our proposed coding scheme. Simulation results verify that the proposed STFBCs outperform other recently published STFBCs
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

Achieving Low-Complexity Maximum-Likelihood Detection for the 3D MIMO Code
The 3D MIMO code is a robust and efficient space-time block code (STBC) for
the distributed MIMO broadcasting but suffers from high maximum-likelihood (ML)
decoding complexity. In this paper, we first analyze some properties of the 3D
MIMO code to show that the 3D MIMO code is fast-decodable. It is proved that
the ML decoding performance can be achieved with a complexity of O(M^{4.5})
instead of O(M^8) in quasi static channel with M-ary square QAM modulations.
Consequently, we propose a simplified ML decoder exploiting the unique
properties of 3D MIMO code. Simulation results show that the proposed
simplified ML decoder can achieve much lower processing time latency compared
to the classical sphere decoder with Schnorr-Euchner enumeration
A New Low-Complexity Decodable Rate-1 Full-Diversity 4 x 4 STBC with Nonvanishing Determinants
Space-time coding techniques have become common-place in wireless
communication standards as they provide an effective way to mitigate the fading
phenomena inherent in wireless channels. However, the use of Space-Time Block
Codes (STBCs) increases significantly the optimal detection complexity at the
receiver unless the low complexity decodability property is taken into
consideration in the STBC design. In this letter we propose a new
low-complexity decodable rate-1 full-diversity 4 x 4 STBC. We provide an
analytical proof that the proposed code has the Non-Vanishing-Determinant (NVD)
property, a property that can be exploited through the use of adaptive
modulation which changes the transmission rate according to the wireless
channel quality. We compare the proposed code to existing low-complexity
decodable rate-1 full-diversity 4 x 4 STBCs in terms of performance over
quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels, detection complexity and Peak-to-Average
Power Ratio (PAPR). Our code is found to provide the best performance and the
smallest PAPR which is that of the used QAM constellation at the expense of a
slight increase in detection complexity w.r.t. certain previous codes but this
will only penalize the proposed code for high-order QAM constellations.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, and 1 table; IEEE Transactions on Wireless

DMT Optimality of LR-Aided Linear Decoders for a General Class of Channels, Lattice Designs, and System Models
The work identifies the first general, explicit, and non-random MIMO
encoder-decoder structures that guarantee optimality with respect to the
diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT), without employing a computationally
expensive maximum-likelihood (ML) receiver. Specifically, the work establishes
the DMT optimality of a class of regularized lattice decoders, and more
importantly the DMT optimality of their lattice-reduction (LR)-aided linear
counterparts. The results hold for all channel statistics, for all channel
dimensions, and most interestingly, irrespective of the particular lattice-code
applied. As a special case, it is established that the LLL-based LR-aided
linear implementation of the MMSE-GDFE lattice decoder facilitates DMT optimal
decoding of any lattice code at a worst-case complexity that grows at most
linearly in the data rate. This represents a fundamental reduction in the
decoding complexity when compared to ML decoding whose complexity is generally
exponential in rate.
The results' generality lends them applicable to a plethora of pertinent
communication scenarios such as quasi-static MIMO, MIMO-OFDM, ISI,
cooperative-relaying, and MIMO-ARQ channels, in all of which the DMT optimality
of the LR-aided linear decoder is guaranteed. The adopted approach yields
insight, and motivates further study, into joint transceiver designs with an
improved SNR gap to ML decoding.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure (3 subfigures), submitted to the IEEE Transactions

A New Low-Complexity Decodable Rate-5/4 STBC for Four Transmit Antennas with Nonvanishing Determinants
The use of Space-Time Block Codes (STBCs) increases significantly the optimal
detection complexity at the receiver unless the low-complexity decodability
property is taken into consideration in the STBC design. In this paper we
propose a new low-complexity decodable rate-5/4 full-diversity 4 x 4 STBC. We
provide an analytical proof that the proposed code has the
Non-Vanishing-Determinant (NVD) property, a property that can be exploited
through the use of adaptive modulation which changes the transmission rate
according to the wireless channel quality. We compare the proposed code to the
best existing low-complexity decodable rate-5/4 full-diversity 4 x 4 STBC in
terms of performance over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels, worst- case
complexity, average complexity, and Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). Our
code is found to provide better performance, lower average decoding complexity,
and lower PAPR at the expense of a slight increase in worst-case decoding
complexity.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures and 1 table; IEEE Global Telecommunications

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

The Road From Classical to Quantum Codes: A Hashing Bound Approaching Design Procedure
Powerful Quantum Error Correction Codes (QECCs) are required for stabilizing
and protecting fragile qubits against the undesirable effects of quantum
decoherence. Similar to classical codes, hashing bound approaching QECCs may be
designed by exploiting a concatenated code structure, which invokes iterative
decoding. Therefore, in this paper we provide an extensive step-by-step
tutorial for designing EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart aided
concatenated quantum codes based on the underlying quantum-to-classical
isomorphism. These design lessons are then exemplified in the context of our
proposed Quantum Irregular Convolutional Code (QIRCC), which constitutes the
outer component of a concatenated quantum code. The proposed QIRCC can be
dynamically adapted to match any given inner code using EXIT charts, hence
achieving a performance close to the hashing bound. It is demonstrated that our
QIRCC-based optimized design is capable of operating within 0.4 dB of the noise
limit
