As discussed in Chapter 1, the wireless communication channel can be modeled as a timevarying (TV) linear1 system whose output is corrupted by additive noise. To reliably recover the transmitted information from the channel output, the receiver must address the effects of both linear distortion and additive noise. While, in theory, the mitigation of linear distortion and additive noise should b...

MOOD (Musical Object-Oriented Dialect) is a C++ class library for computer music [1]. It runs on SPARC, MIPS, and MC680x0-based UNIX machines and on the Apple Macintosh, and uses MIDI I/O. It is designed for algorithmic composition, interactive systems, and cognition research, and is well-suited to any application that needs concurrency and precise timing control. MOOD borrows many ideas from F...

This letter tackles the problem of channel estimation in mmWave multiple-input single-output systems, where users are equipped with single-antenna receivers. By leveraging broadcast transmissions downlink channel, two novel low-complexity approaches devised, able to operate even presence a reduced number transmit antennas or limited bandwidth. Numerical results show that proposed algorithms pro...

In multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation is of crucial importance to guarantee reliable recovery ultra-high-speed MIMO signals. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the emerging MIMO-based orthogonal chirp-division multiplexing (OCDM) systems by utilizing unique features OCDM proposed algorithm, set pilot signals designed based on Fresnel basis, which essentiall...

The heat channel is defined by an analog filter and a subsequent measurement of the filter output signal perturbed by additive white Gaussian noise. The filter is related to the heat kernel of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator, so the name of the channel. The channel is modeled as an infinite-dimensional vector Gaussian channel and the capacity in terms of average energy of the input s...

The topics of this thesis are the mathematical models of the magnetic recording channel and their ultimate information-theoretic limit, the capacity. Source and channel of a magnetic recording system can be represented by a single finitestate model (FSM). The joint source/channel FSM is fully specified by the state-transition probabilities of the source model and the output probability distribu...

To increase the transmission rate without bandwidth expansion, the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique has recently been attracting much attention. The MIMO channel capacity in a cellular system is affected by the interference from neighboring co-channel cells. In this paper, we introduce the cellular channel capacity and evaluate its outage capacity, taking into account the frequen...
