Both the US and European Community are now undertaking major projects to double air traffic capacity. It is believed that this will demand a significant increase in automation and a redefinition of the human air traffic controller’s role to be that of a supervisor of the automation and an intelligent agent to make tactical decisions in off-normal situations. This paper discusses the associated ...

The quest for reliable high-rate wireless links motivates fading-resilient and bandwidth-efficient communication systems capable of capitalizing on available forms of diversity. This tutorial focuses on linear complex field (LCF) coding—a powerful tool that complements the traditional Galois field (GF) coding, in enabling diversity transmissions over singleand multi-antenna fading channels. Per...
