In this paper, bounds are derived on the minimum homogeneous distance of the image of a linear block code over the Galois ring GR(pr ,m), with respect to any basis of GR(pr, m). These bounds depend on the parameters of GR(pr , m), the minimum Hamming distance of the block code, and the average value of the homogeneous weight applied on the base ring Zpr. Examples are given of Galois ring codes that meet these bounds.

We investigate the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) functions of Hadamard codes in the context of repeat- zigzag Hadamard (RZH) codes with parallel decoding. The derived EXIT functions can serve as an effective tool for designing low-rate IRZH codes with parallel decoding in BIAWGN channels.

We analyze the outage characteristics of correlated Ricean fading, coherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. In particular, we establish the notion of a "critical rate", below which communication at zero outage is possible and above which the channel appears as Ricean fading. The critical rate is shown to depend on the "angle" between the subspace spanned by the Ricean component of the channel matrix and the subspace spanned by the correlation matrix of the Rayleigh fading component. A nonzero critical rate is possible only if the correlation matrix of the Rayleigh fading component is rank- deficient. Finally, we provide a complete characterization of the optimum diversity-multiplexing tradeoff for correlated Ricean fading MIMO channels taking into account the existence of the critical rate and thereby establishing the notion of a critical multiplexing gain.

Recursive decoding is studied for Reed-Muller (RM) codes used on a binary symmetric channel. Decoding is performed beyond the bounded distance radius d/2 and corrects most error patterns of weight up to (d ln d)/2. In our analysis, coding is decomposed into consecutive steps, with one information bit derived in each step. Then the error probability of each step is defined by the recursive recalculations of the Bernoulli random variables. We derive the exponential moments of the recalculated random variables. As a result, tight exponential bounds on the output error probability are obtained for the two recursive algorithms considered in the paper. For both algorithms, the derived error exponents almost coincide with simulation results.

A significant body of results on space-time and space-frequency coding for single-user channels is available in the literature. In contrast, space-time/frequency coding for multiple-access channels (MACs) seems largely unexplored. Building on the framework in Gallager, IEEE Trans. IT, 1985 for characterizing the dominant error event regions in single-antenna additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) MACs, we derive rate-dependent space-time/frequency code design criteria for fading multiantenna MACs with perfect channel state information at the receiver. It is demonstrated that, depending on the transmission rate tuple, joint designs taking the presence of multiple users explicitly into account may be necessary. Our results furthermore allow to identify the rate regions where, for each user, employing codes designed for the single-user case is optimal. Finally, we show that the number of receive antennas has a significant impact on the dominant error event regions and hence, plays an important role in the code design criteria. As a byproduct of our analysis, we find that the classical code design criteria (based on pairwise error probabilities) are recovered using a completely different approach aimed at minimizing the probability of encountering a bad effective channel realization.

We prove a new extremal inequality, motivated by the vector Gaussian broadcast channel and the distributed source coding with a single quadratic distortion constraint problem. As a corollary, this inequality yields a generalization of the classical vector entropy-power inequality (EPI). As another corollary, this inequality sheds insight into maximizing differential entropy of a sum of jointly distributed random variables, generalizing a classical result of Cover and Zhang.

We consider channel coding with feedback for the general case where the feedback may be an arbitrary deterministic function of the output samples. Under the assumption that the channel states take values in a finite alphabet, we find an achievable rate and an upper bound on the capacity. We conclude by showing that when the channel is indecomposable, and has no intersymbol interference, its capacity is given by the limit of the maximum of the (normalized) directed information between the input XN and the output YN, i.e. C = limNrarrinfin/1N max I(XN rarr YN), where the maximization is over the causal conditioning probability Q(xN||kN-) defined in this paper
对于反馈可能是输出样本的任意确定性函数的一般情况,我们考虑带反馈的信道编码。在信道状态取值为有限字母的假设下,我们找到了一个可实现的速率和容量的上界。当信道不可分解且无码间干扰时,其容量由输入XN与输出YN之间(归一化)有向信息的最大值的极限给出,即C = limNrarrinfin/1N max I(XN rarr YN),其中最大值大于本文定义的因果条件概率Q(XN ||kN-)
