Sequential decoding for multiple access channels

چکیده

The use of sequential decoding in multiple access channels is considered. The Fano metric, which achieves all achievable rates in the one-user case, fails to do so in the multiuser case. A new metric is introduced and an inner bound is given to its achievable rate region. This inner bound region is large enough to encourage the use of sequential decoding in practice. The new metric is optimal, in the sense of achieving all achievable rates, in the case= of one-user and painvise-reversible channels. Whether the metic is optimal for all multiple access channels remains an open problem. It is worth noting that even in the one-user case, the new metric differs from the Fano metric in a nontrivial way, showing that the Fano metric is not uniquely optimal for such channels. A new and stricter criterion of achievability in sequential decoding is also introduced and examined.

Sequential Decoding for Wireless Communications

Sequential decoding of long constraint length convolutional codes is proposed as a candidate coding scheme for high quality wireless services. Performance of sequential decoding on Rayleigh fading channels is obtained theoretically and by simulations. Results show that sequential decoding is a good candidate for data oriented services in future wireless communication systems. The applicability ...

Sequential, successive, and simultaneous decoders for entanglement-assisted classical communication

Bennett et al. showed that allowing shared entanglement between a sender and receiver before communication begins dramatically simplifies the theory of quantum channels, and these results suggest that it would be worthwhile to study other scenarios for entanglement-assisted classical communication. In this vein, the present paper makes several contributions to the theory of entanglement-assiste...

Outage Probability Bound and Diversity Gain for Ultra-Wideband Multiple-Access Relay Channels with Correlated Noises

In this paper, Ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple access relay channel with correlated noises at the relay and receiver is investigated. We obtain outer and inner bounds for the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multiple access relay channel, and also, a diversity gain bound. Finally, we evaluate some results numerically and show that noise correlation coefficients play important role in determining relay position.

On the Achievable Rate-Regions for the Gaussian Two-way Diamond Channels

In this channel,we study rate region of a Gaussian two-way diamond channel which operates in half-duplex mode. In this channel, two transceiver (TR) nodes exchange their messages with the help of two relay nodes. We consider a special case of the Gaussian two-way diamond channels which is called Compute-and-Forward Multiple Access Channel (CF-MAC). In the CF-MAC, the TR nodes transmit their mes...
