Transmission techniques based on channel coding with feedback are proposed in this paper to enhance the security of wireless communications systems at the physical layer. Reliable and secure transmission over an additive noise Gaussian wiretap channel is investigated using Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) and Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) channel codes. A hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) protocol...
Polar coding is a low-complexity method for communication over noisy classical channels, which is capable of providing highly reliable data transmission. This paper proposes an enhanced polar codec scheme for mission critical applications in train-to-ground wireless communications. Firstly, we develop an enhanced polar coding scheme to support reliable data transmission under time-varying channel...
The full potential of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless technology can be achieved through iterative MIMO decoding with soft information. In iterative MIMO decoder, the complexity can be major obstacle for practical implementation. The soft interference cancellation-minimum mean squared error (SIC-MMSE) approach for detection is considered as a feasible approach due to its complexity-performance...
In this paper, we propose a systematic design approach of polar codes for multicolor visible light communication (VLC). Owing to the mixed ratio of multicolor light intensities and the interference between different colors, the channel polarization over a multicolor VLC system is markedly different from that over a uniform channel. Our scheme quantifies these different color channels and constructs...
This paper presents an energy-efficient solution to overcome packet loss in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by adding seed-based Random Linear Network Coding to MQTT for Sensor Networks (MQTT-SN). Whereas most sensors integrated in common WSN devices consume little energy, using the radio is costly. To increase battery lifetime, devices try to minimize their radio uptime, while still satisfy timeliness...
In this paper, we propose a feedback-aided irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (F-IRSA) protocol which depends on the distance between the received packet and the set of packets already recovered at the receiver. We employ feedback messages to terminate the user retransmission process, and use successive interference cancellation (SIC) for packet recovery. We evaluate the number of transmissions per...
A universal design methodology for inter-leavers in bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) systems deploying binary irregular quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes and higher-order modulation is presented. The interleaver is introduced to lower decoding threshold when higher-order modulation is adopted. For this purpose, an optimization procedure with modified numerical analysis as...
Molecular communications (MC) is a promising paradigm which utilizes molecules to implement communication among nano-machines. Cooperative relaying strategies can be used to extend communication distance and achieve reliable remote communications. In this paper, a two-hop diffusion-based molecular communication with three nano-machine nodes is considered. To mitigate the drawback of traditional cooperative...
The Parity check Transformation Algorithm (PTA) is a recently developed symbol wise soft decision decoding algorithm for Reed Solomon codes. The algorithm has been shown in literature to outperform widely used Reed Solomon decoders including the Koetter and Vardy (KV) algorithm. The PTA gets its name from the fact that it transforms the parity check matrix of the Reed Solomon code after every iteration...
In this paper a log-MAP turbo decoding algorithm which incorporates reliability threshold based trellis branch elimination together with mean based early iteration termination has been proposed. The proposed algorithm reduces computational complexity by eliminating branches in trellis. Since the minimum Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) obtained for each iteration varies with channel conditions, an early...
This paper proposes a modified bit flipping algorithm and its weighted variants based on reliability derived from intrinsic information. Compared to other existing algorithms where extrinsic information based reliability was used in the flipping function, here intrinsic information based reliability is also equally considered. This algorithm only uses additions and subtractions to modify reliability...
Error correction coding based on soft-input decoding can significantly improve the reliability of flash memories. Such soft-input decoding algorithms require reliability information about the state of the memory cell. This work proposes a channel model for soft-input decoding that considers the asymmetric error characteristic of multi-level cell (MLC) and triple-level cell (TLC) memories. Based on...
With the technology scaling of solid state drives (SSDs), data reliability has to be ensured by advanced Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes. As LDPC reads often take high latency, read performance involved in traditional garbage collection, called external GC, is largely decreased, which affects system performance. GC can choose not to correct data with LD-PC codes but just copy valid pages into...
LDPC codes have been applied in recent communication standards, such as WiFi, WiGig, and 10GBased-T Ethernet as a forward error correction code. However, LDPC codes require a large number of computational complexity for high performances. To solve this problem, various studies have been continuously performed for reducing computational complexity. In this paper, we propose an adaptive forced convergence...
We investigate secure communication over a channel under two different classes of attacks at the same time: a passive eavesdropper and an active jammer. This scenario is perfectly modeled by the concept of arbitrarily varying wiretap channels (AVWCs). It has been shown that uncorrelated codes are not always capable of overcoming the various jamming attacks. On the other hand, correlated random codes...
Flash memories are gaining prominence for utilizing in large scale data centers (DCs) due to their high memory density, low power consumption and heat dissipation, and high access speed characteristics. The rate of degradation for a flash memory is largely affected by the amount and frequency of the erase/write operations, which is a challenge in the DC context that serves dynamically changing workloads...
Transistor aging, due to Bias-Temperature Instability (BTI) is a serious concern in Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs). Under BTI stress an SRAM cell becomes increasingly skewed, which in turn affects its performance characteristics and consequently the memory reliability. In this paper, a variation tolerant technique for the periodic monitoring of the BTI influence on SRAM cells is presented....
This paper proposes a modified IMWBF decoding algorithm for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. In the proposed modification, the magnitude of the received signal is updated when the number of the unsatisfied parity-check equations participated by this received signal is larger than a predetermined threshold. Through this modification, the outlier, defined as the undesired large-magnitude received...
