In many applications, the Middleton Class-A model is used to describe the impulsive noise. A very useful and interesting aspect for a channel affected by such, non-Gaussian noise, is to find an expression for the channel capacity. In this paper we present the calculation of capacity for a channel affected by additive Middleton Class-A noise (AWCN), with binary input. We considered the case when...

This correspondence presents the characterisation of impulse noise effects on the space-time blockcoded orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) symbol reception, in which the conventional OFDM system is combined with the antenna-diversity/spatial-diversity in order to achieve the high data transmission rates. The weak impulse noise may be combated by the longer OFDM symbol durati...

Abstract Interference is an important limitation in many communication systems. It has been shown situations that the popular Gaussian approximation not adequate and interference exhibits impulsive behavior. This paper surveys different statistical models proposed for such interference, can generally be unified using class of sub-exponential family distributions, its impact on receiver design. ...

A new approach for noise reduction is presented. The method is capable of reducing noise of Gaussian, supergaussian and impulsive characteristics in degraded high-quality audio signals. The approach is based on classical autoregressive (AR) detection and interpolation, applied to the residual signal of a binary time-frequency (T-F) masking process. Analytic inspection allows for predicting the ...
