FEC (forward-error-correction) techniques correct errors at the receiver end of digital communications systems. In contrast with error-detection and retransmission ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new soft-input soft-output decoding algorithm particularly suited for low-complexity high-radix turbo decoding, called local soft-output Viterbi algorithm (local SOVA).

Abstract: In the soft-input soft-output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA), the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of each bit is determined by the minimum metric difference between the ML path and its competitive ...

Utilizing the motion characteristics of underwater gliders, a water acoustic communication system based on heterogeneous gliders was designed. The system consists of a surface wave glider and an ...

The relentless demand for massive amounts of data is accelerating the pace of high-performance computing (HPC) within the high-speed Ethernet realm. This escalation, in turn, intensified the ...
