چکیده

Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) form a class of iteratively decodable convolutional codes that are constructed from component convolutional codes. In braided code division multiple access (BCDMA), these very efficient error correcting codes are combined with a multiple access method and inherent interleaving for channel diversity exploitation into one single scheme. In this paper, we describe the BCDMA principle and present simulation results for a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. Results for bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) based on turbo and LDPC codes are also given for comparison.

Iterative interference cancellation and channel estimation for coded OFDM-CDMA

In recent years, spectral efficiency has become a key parameter in mobile radio communications. For Code Division Multiple Access systems, high spectral efficiencies can only be achieved by the application of multi-user detection schemes combatting the inherent multi-user interference. This paper analyzes the system performance of a quasi-synchronous OFDM-CDMA uplink for nonlinear successive in...

Analysis of thresholds for braided block codes in BEC

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, invented by Gallager [2], who described and analyzed a block variant of the codes, arouse great interest of researchers. These codes are widely used in practice since they can be decoded by using relatively simple iterative decoding algorithms. Several modifications of these codes are known, in particular, generalized LDPC codes [3]. In contrast to Gallage...

Cross-layer Packet-dependant OFDM Scheduling Based on Proportional Fairness

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...

Braided Convolutional Codes - A Class of Spatially Coupled Turbo-Like Codes

In this paper, we investigate the impact of spatial coupling on the thresholds of turbo-like codes. Parallel concatenated and serially concatenated convolutional codes as well as braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are compared by means of an exact density evolution (DE) analysis for the binary erasure channel (BEC). We propose two extensions of the original BCC ensemble to improve its threshold...
