In many multimedia applications, there is a need to authenticate sources subjected to benign degradations such as noise, compression, etc., in addition to potential tampering attacks. Authentication can be enabled through the embedding of suitably chosen markings in the original signal. We develop one information-theoretic formulation of this problem, and identify and interpret the associated fundamental performance limits.

Woven convolutional codes with outer warp are used to construct a generator matrix with an effective free distance vector that is lower bounded by the free distances of the component codes. This enables the construction of convolutional codes with unequal error protection.

In this paper, a unified viewpoint is proposed to interpret the relation between various trellis-based soft-output decoding algorithms. From the unified viewpoint, we can easily obtain new algorithms of low complexity and good performance, and a unified decoding structure is devised for the newly proposed algorithms and those reported previously. Under the unified structure, all of the algorithms are mapped into a single decoding process and different algorithms can be easily switched between one another. Owing to the modularity and flexibility, this unified structure is especially suitable for the turbo decoder with programmable DSP implementation to optimize the trade-off between the performance and complexity.

A space-time channel coding technique is presented for overcoming turbulence-induced fading in an atmospheric optical communication system that uses multiple transmit and receive apertures, In particular, a design criterion for minimizing the pairwise probability of codeword error in a space-time code (STC) is developed from a central limit theorem approximation. This design criterion maximizes the ratio of mean to standard deviation of the received energy difference between codewords. It leads to STCs that are a subset of the previously reported STCs for Rayleigh channels, namely those created from orthogonal designs.

We obtain new entropy and mutual information formulae for regenerative stochastic processes. We use them on Markov channels to generalize the results in Goldsmith and Varaiya (1996). Also we obtain tighter bounds on capacity and better algorithms than in Goldsmith and Varaiya.

Queueing systems which map Poisson input processes to Poisson output processes have been well-studied in classical queueing theory. This paper considers two discrete-time queues whose analogs in the continuous-time possess the Poisson-in-Poisson-out property. It is shown that when packets arriving according to an arbitrary ergodic stationary arrival process are passed through these queueing systems, the corresponding departure process has an entropy rate no less (some times strictly more) than the entropy rate of the arrival process. Some useful by-products are discrete-time versions of: (i) a proof of Burke's (1956) theorem; (ii) a proof of the uniqueness, amongst renewal inputs, of the Poisson process as a fixed point for exponential server queues; and (iii) connections with the timing capacity of queues.

This paper proposes an importance sampling methodology based on large deviations theory for the error floor assessment of a class of open-loop receivers with random carrier phase tracking in additive white Gaussian noise channels. Our simulations exhibit remarkable time gains when compared with conventional Monte Carlo.

New results concerning the structure and existence of optimal entropy-constrained scalar quantizers (ECSQs) are presented. One main result shows that for continuous sources and a wide class of distortion measures, any finite-level ECSQ can be replaced by an ECSQ with interval cells which has the same entropy and equal or less distortion. Furthermore, the existence of an optimal ECSQ for an arbitrary entropy constraint is shown under rather general conditions.

We perform the analysis of the minimum distance and decoding capacity of a family of self-dual codes. These rate 1/2 codes are built with a very simple multistage construction using short base codes and interleavers as in turbo-codes. We only consider the case where the base code is an extended [8,4,4] Hamming code, though our analysis would carry over to other base codes.
