On Adjusting Vector Symbol Decoding for Many Different Nonbinary Convolutional Codes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of nonbinary convolutional codes with Vector Symbol Decoding (VSD) was proposed to correct long burst errors in high data rate wireless networks. VSD allows the symbol size to easily and arbitrarily increase as desired. Therefore, the same technique can be used for both the current data rate and any upcoming data rate of new wireless network standards. Convolutional VSD is more attractive than block VSD due to its lower complexity. Tables of convolutional codes with rate 2/3 and 3/4 are explicitly shown in the feedforward forms as required by VSD. The decoding performance was analyzed for several codes in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and a Rayleigh fading channel. The performance of VSD for different levels of decoder complexity was also tested. From the results, three design options that provide good performance were discussed including their advantages and disadvantages in terms of fl exibility, complexity and ease of implementation.

Abstract Error correcting codes can play a key role in improving the efficiency and reliability of wireless communications. Concatenated codes have the advantages that: 1) breaking the task into stages simplifies decoding, and 2) performance is good against clustered bit errors, fading and bursty interference. Reed-Solomon codes (maximum distance codes) have been popular as an outer code of con...

In this paper, we propose a new class of nonbinary polar codes with two-stage polarization, where the outer polarization (symbol-level polarization) kernel is a nonbinary matrix resembling Arıkan’s kernel, and the inner polarization (bit-level polarization) kernel is a properly designed binary matrix. The encoder/decoder of the proposed nonbinary polar codes have the same structure as the origi...

A novel concatenated coding system for both narrowband and broadband power line communications (NB-PLC and BB-PLC) is proposed. The order of the inner and the outer codes switches from the G3-PLC standard and the interleaver is eliminated. The Error-and-erasure decoder (EED) is selected as the Reed-Solomon inner code is because the impulsive noises clearly mark the erasure positions with a thre...
