Let X = I1, " '" , a}, Y = {1, ' " , b} be finite sets. A stochastic matrix w with a rows and b columns will be called a channel. X, Y are the input and output alphabets (respectively) of the channel. We denote the set of all channels with input alphabet X and output alphabet Y by e (X, Y). A channel w E C (X, Y) can be used for communication from one person, the sender, to another person, the ...

Consider any discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with arbitrarily but finite input and output alphabets X , Y respectively. Then, for any capacity achieving input distribution all symbols occur less frequently than 1 − 1 e . That is, max x∈X P (x) < 1− 1 e where P ∗(x) is a capacity achieving input distribution. Also, we provide sufficient conditions for which a discrete distribution can be a cap...

Which communication rates can be attained over an unknown channel where the relation between the input and output can be arbitrary? A channel where the output is any arbitrary (possibly stochastic) function of the input that may vary arbitrarily in time with no a-priori model? In this paper we provide an operational definition of a “capacity” (the maximal possible rate) for such an arbitrary in...

The performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation in multiple-input multiple-output (BICM-MIMO) systems using an iterative channel estimator is analysed. In a conventional iterative channel estimator, after initialisation with the training phase, the channel estimator switches to the data phase. However, such a conventional iterative channel estimator does not always improve the performance o...

The capacity of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) wireless channels is computed for Ricean channels. The novelty is a geometrical (ray-tracing) interpretation of the MIMO channel capacity formula to find array geometries which greatly enhance channel capacity compared to single input–single output (SISO) systems.

This technical note considers the problem of resource allocation in linear feedback control system with output disturbance. By decomposing the information rate in the feedback communication channel, the channel resource allocation is thoroughly analyzed. The results show that certain amount of resource is used to transmit the output disturbance and this resource allocation is independent from f...

An algorithm is presented for approximating a single-user channel with a prime input alphabet size. The result is an upgraded version of the channel with a reduced output alphabet size. It is shown that this algorithm can be used to reduce the output alphabet size to the input alphabet size in most cases.

* denoting the binary entropy function and denoting the uncoded error probability. The goal of this paper is to extend such relationship to channels where the connection between uncoded error probability and channel capacity is less obvious. A first step into that direction is the following lemma proven in [1]: Lemma 1: Consider a memoryless weakly symmetric1 channel with binary input and outpu...

Spatial diversity technique enables improvement in quality and reliability of wireless link. Antenna diversity along with understanding effects of channel on transmitted signal and methods to overcome the channel impairment plays an important role in wireless communication where sharing of channel occurs between users. In this paper single input single output system (SISO) is compared with mult...
