Error Control Codes for Next-Generation Communication Systems: Opportunities and Challenges

Opportunities and Challenges for Next Generation Computing

ed away and implementations seek to go as fast as possible using a synchronous highfrequency (gigahertz) clock or delay-variation-tolerant asynchronous handshake protocols. To break out of this box, we should consider designs that seek not to hide time but rather to use it to represent information. The key argument for considering this is that spiking times in the human neocortex seem well coor...

Designing Next Generation Clusters with Infiniband: Opportunities and Challenges

Training the next generation of biomedical researchers: challenges and opportunities.

We have entered an era of great excitement and challenge in the life sciences, in which scientific knowledge is changing and accruing rapidly. Many new areas of study, including functional genomics, tissue engineering, and bioinformatics, are being pursued with increasingly powerful techniques, and they present extraordinary opportunities for improving our understanding of health and disease. S...

Error Correcting Codes for Third Generation Wireless Communication

Berreu et. al. in their landmark paper first introduced turbo codes (TC), which could achieve energy efficiencies within 0.7 dB of Shannon’s limit. Now TC is one of the main options for error correcting codes (ECC) in third generation mobile standards as in UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and cdma2000. UMTS and cdma2000 standards use two types of ECC; Convolutional coding and ...

Automatic Generation of Error Control Codes

| This paper proposes a methodology, implemented in a tool, to automatically generate the main classes of Error Control Codes (ECCs) widely applied in computer memory systems to increase reliability and data integrity. New code construction techniques extending the features of previous Single Error Correcting (SEC)-Double Error Detecting (DED)-Single Byte Error Detecting (SBD) codes have been i...
