A novel network model of multiple source fountain coding is developed and a novel class of generic multiple source fountain codes with unequal error protection(UEP)property is proposed.The And–Or tree analysis technique is generalized to analyze the asymptotic performance of the proposed codes and a joint optimization method employing both linear and nonlinear programs is developed to optimize the degree distributions.Furthermore,we propose three basic methods to achieve UEP property and the performance of each method is discussed.We employ these analytical results and optimization method to design and discuss several UEP codes with two and four sources for different application scenarios.Simulation results verify that the proposed codes can be applied to the networks with any number of sources and can provide strong UEP property in various ways based on the proposed three basic methods. 相似文献
The investigation of the probability of error bits in a codeword shows that single-bit errors and 2-bit errors are main reasons that influence the decoding performance of polar codes with a short or moderate blocklength. Based on the statistical analysis of the error bits, a successive cancellation(SC) multibit-flipping decoding algorithm is proposed. Compared with the SC single-bit-flipping decoding, the proposed scheme can obtain better performance gains for polar codes with a short blocklength. Compared with the SC list decoding by exploring multiple paths simultaneously, the proposed scheme has a lower space complexity. Moreover, the decoding complexity of the proposed decoding algorithm decreases as the signal to noise ratio(SNR) increases. Simulation shows that for polar codes with a short or moderate blocklength, the performance of the proposed decoder can approach that of the SC list decoding with lower decoding complexity in high SNR regions. 相似文献
For noisy environment, the parity-check matrix of Irregular Repeat-Accumulate(IRA) codes is hard to reconstruct, moreover, the relationships of the large-scale complex interleaver are hard to recover. To solve the problems, a novel blind recognition algorithm is proposed. First, the code's length and synchronization are identified by applying rank criteria. Second, by implementing matrix transformation, the dual vectors of codewords are found. Then, by setting a threshold, the effective parity-check vectors of dual space are selected. According to the sparse characteristics of the IRA codes' parity-check matrix, the parity matrix can be reconstructed with effective parity-check vectors Finally, relationships of the interleaver can be recovered according to the characteristics of IRA codes. Simulation results show that the proposal can be used to estimate IRA codes encoding parameters and complete the blind recognition in the non-cooperative context with noise. 相似文献
Considering the low estimation accuracy and small synchronization range of carrier synchronization algorithms in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) for short burst communication systems, a joint pilot and iterative decoding soft-output carrier synchronization algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the received pilot sequence is extracted and modulation is removed, with the modulation-removed signals made cross-correlated. Then the summation of all the correlation values is used to perform initial carrier parameters estimation. Secondly, the pilot sequence is reused with the soft-output information based on the extended Turbo decoder to obtain fine frequency and phase estimation values. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the coarse estimation algorithm can satisfy the requirements of the frequency estimation range and estimation accuracy, and preamble-middle pilot placement is optimal for a certain length of the data frame; The turbo decoder can obtain more reliable soft-output information with small residual frequency offset after initial coarse synchronization when the normalized frequency offset is less than 1.5×10-3, with the joint pilot and soft-output of the decoder used to estimate fine carrier parameters, which can make the turbo code achieve optimal BER performance. 相似文献
