Design of efficiently encodable nonbinary LDPC codes for adaptive coded modulation

Capacity achieving nonbinary LDPC coded non-uniform shaping modulation for adaptive optical communications.

A mutual information inspired nonbinary coded modulation design with non-uniform shaping is proposed. Instead of traditional power of two signal constellation sizes, we design 5-QAM, 7-QAM and 9-QAM constellations, which can be used in adaptive optical networks. The non-uniform shaping and LDPC code rate are jointly considered in the design, which results in a better performance scheme for the ...

Opportunistic Adaptive Transmission for Network Coding Using Nonbinary LDPC Codes

Network coding allows to exploit spatial diversity naturally present in mobile wireless networks and can be seen as an example of cooperative communication at the link layer and above. Such promising technique needs to rely on a suitable physical layer in order to achieve its best performance. In this paper, we present an opportunistic packet scheduling method based on physical layer considerat...

Algebraic Constructions of High Performance and Efficiently Encodable Non-Binary Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes

Evaluation of four-dimensional nonbinary LDPC-coded modulation for next-generation long-haul optical transport networks.

Leveraging the advanced coherent optical communication technologies, this paper explores the feasibility of using four-dimensional (4D) nonbinary LDPC-coded modulation (4D-NB-LDPC-CM) schemes for long-haul transmission in future optical transport networks. In contrast to our previous works on 4D-NB-LDPC-CM which considered amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise as the dominant impairment, t...

Adaptive Modulation for LDPC coded-OFDM based Powerline communication system

As a result of the impairments generated by the consumer electronic devices on power line channel extensive research has been carried out to mitigate the deteriorating effects. In this work the performance of an OFDM based power line communication system is evaluated under OPERA [1] proposed power line channel. An adaptive modulation system is designed and the performance advantages of the syst...
