High-SNR Asymptotics of Mutual Information for Discrete Constellations with Applications to BICM

Alex Alvarado, Fredrik Brannstrom, Erik Agrell +1

Asymptotic expressions of the mutual information between any discrete input and the corresponding output of the scalar additive white Gaussian noise channel are presented in the li…

General BER Expression for One-Dimensional Constellations

Mikhail Ivanov, Fredrik Brännström, Alex Alvarado +1

A novel general ready-to-use bit-error rate (BER) expression for one-dimensional constellations is developed. The BER analysis is performed for bit patterns that form a labeling. T…

Phase Noise Estimation for Uncoded/Coded SISO and MIMO Systems

Arif Onder Isikman, Hani Mehrpouyan, Alexandre Graell i Amat

Non-ideal oscillators both at the transmitter and the receiver introduces time varying phase noise which interacts with the transmitted data in a non-linear fashion. Phase noise be…

Nonbinary Spatially-Coupled LDPC Codes on the Binary Erasure Channel

Amina Piemontese, Alexandre Graell i Amat, Giulio Colavolpe

We analyze the asymptotic performance of nonbinary spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes built on the general linear group, when the transmission takes place o…

On Optimal TCM Encoders

Alex Alvarado, Alexandre Graell i Amat, Fredrik Brannstrom +1

An asymptotically optimal trellis-coded modulation (TCM) encoder requires the joint design of the encoder and the binary labeling of the constellation. Since analytical approaches…

Design of APSK Constellations for Coherent Optical Channels with Nonlinear Phase Noise

Christian Häger, Alexandre Graell i Amat, Alex Alvarado +1

We study the design of amplitude phase-shift keying (APSK) constellations for a coherent fiber-optical communication system where nonlinear phase noise (NLPN) is the main system im…

Conditions for a Monotonic Channel Capacity

Erik Agrell

Motivated by results in optical communications, where the performance can degrade dramatically if the transmit power is sufficiently increased, the channel capacity is characterize…

On the Exact BER of Bit-Wise Demodulators for One-Dimensional Constellations

Mikhail Ivanov, Fredrik Brannstrom, Alex Alvarado +1

The optimal bit-wise demodulator for M-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) over the additive white Gaussian noise channel is analyzed in terms of uncoded bit-error rate (BER). New…

Using Short Synchronous WOM Codes to Make WOM Codes Decodable

Nicolas Bitouzé, Alexandre Graell i Amat, Eirik Rosnes

In the framework of write-once memory (WOM) codes, it is important to distinguish between codes that can be decoded directly and those that require that the decoder knows the curre…

Capacity Pre-Log of Noncoherent SIMO Channels via Hironaka's Theorem

Veniamin I. Morgenshtern, Erwin Riegler, Wei Yang +4

We find the capacity pre-log of a temporally correlated Rayleigh block-fading SIMO channel in the noncoherent setting. It is well known that for block-length L and rank of the chan…

A Two-Dimensional Signal Space for Intensity-Modulated Channels

Johnny Karout, Gerhard Kramer, Frank R. Kschischang +1

A two-dimensional signal space for intensity- modulated channels is presented. Modulation formats using this signal space are designed to maximize the minimum distance between sign…

Signal Shaping for BICM at Low SNR

Erik Agrell, Alex Alvarado

The mutual information of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) systems, sometimes called the BICM capacity, is investigated at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), i.e., in the wide…

On Geometric Upper Bounds for Positioning Algorithms in Wireless Sensor Networks

Mohammad Reza Gholami, Erik G. Ström, Henk Wymeersch +1

This paper studies the possibility of upper bounding the position error of an estimate for range based positioning algorithms in wireless sensor networks. In this study, we argue t…
