Community Rating and Equalisation

Comdined Turbo Block Decoding and Equalisation

In this paper, the combination of equalization and turbo decoding is studied. In the iterative decoding of a product code in block turbo coding system, the equalization process is performed within the iteration loop. The present study aims to investigate the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) incorporated in the iterative decoding. Simulation results show that the more severe the channel interfe...

Community Rating in the Tele-Lecturing Context

As the problem of easily and quickly generating tele-lecturing content has been solved and many tele-lecturing projects have been set up, new issues arise. The search amongst the video content is a major problem. It takes a long time for users to lter through all the videos available until they nd the learning content they are looking for. This paper describes a concept for the set-up of a rati...

HEALTH INSURANCE CLAIMS AND RISK EQUALISATION IN AUSTRALIA Health Insurance Claims and Risk Equalisation in Australia

Community rating in health insurance and different benefit packages.

This paper presents a model of a competitive health insurance market with two risk types and two health benefits. In the benchmark case, community rating insurers (CRIs) are only allowed to offer the basic benefit. The additional benefit is sold by risk rating insurers (RRIs). It is shown that low risk types can only be better off at the expense of high risk types if CRIs are allowed to offer t...
