Integrating Spinal Codes into Wireless Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rateless spinal codes [47] promise performance gains for future wireless systems. These gains can be realized in the form of higher data rates, longer operational ranges, reduced power consumption, and greater reliability. This is due in part to the manner in which rateless codes exploit the instantaneous characteristics of the wireless medium, including unpredictable fluctuations. By contrast, traditional rated codes can accommodate variability only by making overly conservative assumptions. Before spinal codes reach practical deployment, they must be integrated into the networking stacks of real devices, and they must be instantiated in compact, efficient silicon. This thesis addresses fundamental challenges in each of these two areas, covering a body of work reported in previous publications by this author and others [27, 26]. On the networking side, this thesis explores a rateless analogue of linklayer retransmission schemes, capturing the idea of rate adaptation and generalizing the approach of hybrid ARQ/incremental redundancy systems such as LTE [29]. On the silicon side, this thesis presents the development of a VLSI architecture that exploits the inherent parallelism of the spinal decoder.

Selection of Channel Coding for Low-Power Wireless Systems
AbstmctThe wireless communications world is moving towards the so-called 4 6 picture, by integrating many different subsystems. Some of them have to provide short-range connectivity at very low power, in order to enable hatteryopdrated sensors or devices. This low-power requirement can be achieved by selecting channel codes of high coding gain, However, the power consumption of encoding and dec...

Spinal codes Citation
Spinal codes are a new class of rateless codes that enable wirelessnetworks to cope with time-varying channel conditions in a naturalway, without requiring any explicit bit rate selection. The key ideain the code is the sequential application of a pseudo-random hashfunction to the message bits to produce a sequence of coded symbolsfor transmission. This encoding ensures that...

In this paper, we apply the perfect difference codes in wireless infrared systems considering the diffuse indoor optical wireless configuration. The bit error rate performance of the uplink wireless infrared system using Gaussian approximations is analyzed taking into account the effects of multiple-access interference, the ambient light noise, and the dark current. The proposed system also use...
متن کاملRateless spinal codes Citation
A fundamental problem in wireless networks is to develop communication protocols that achieve high throughput in the face of noise, interference, and fading, all of which vary with time. An ideal solution is a rateless wireless system, in which the sender encodes data without any explicit estimation or adaptation, implicitly adapting to the level of noise or interference. In this paper, we pres...
