© 2019 IEEE. In this paper, we propose an efficient reliability based segmentation-discarding decoding (SDD) algorithm for short block-length codes. A novel segmentation- discarding technique is proposed along with the stopping rule to significantly reduce the decoding complexity without a significant performance degradation compared to ordered statistics decoding (OSD). In the proposed decoder, the list of test error patterns (TEPs) is divided into several segments according to carefully selected boundaries and every segment is checked separately during the reprocessing stage. Decoding is performed under the constraint of the discarding rule and stopping rule. Simulations results for different codes show that our proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the decoding complexity compared to the existing OSD algorithms in literature.

© 2018 IEEE. Fifth-generation cellular mobile networks are expected to support mission critical URLLC services in addition to enhanced mobile broadband applications. This article first introduces three emerging mission critical applications of URLLC and identifies their requirements on end-to-end latency and reliability. We then investigate the various sources of end-to-end delay of current wireless networks by taking 4G LTE as an example. Then we propose and evaluate several techniques to reduce the end-to-end latency from the perspectives of error control coding, signal processing, and radio resource management. We also briefly discuss other network design approaches with the potential for further latency reduction.

© 2015 IEEE. This letter proposes a novel nonlinear constellation mapping (NLCM) scheme for the rate compatible modulation (RCM) approach in low-To-moderate signal to noise ratios (SNRs). In NLCM, each RCM coded symbol is mapped to a complexvalued amplitude phase shift keying (APSK) constellation point. Moreover, we provide a novelmethod of designing code degree and weight set for a wide SNR range. The proposed NLCM is developed to increase the throughput and decrease the peak to average power ratio (PAPR) at the same time. Both analysis and simulation results show that the NLCM scheme outperforms the original RCM in terms of throughput and PAPR.

© 2019 IEEE. Analog fountain codes are a class of rateless codes that have been demonstrated to achieve near-capacity performance for asymptotically long blocks, without any channel state information at the transmitter side. Recently, a new design for these codes has been proposed aimed at improving its performance in the finite block length regime, dubbed short analog fountain codes (S-AFC). S-AFC was shown to score error rates orders of magnitude smaller than AFC for blocks of a few hundred bits long. S-AFC was also shown to achieve average block lengths close to the Polyanskiy-Poor and Verdu bound for high SNR and exhibits no error floors down to 10^-7. In this paper, we derive lower and upper bounds on the block error rate (BLER) of S-AFC. We verify these bounds through Monte Carlo simulations and provide all the proofs in the appendix.

Lim WJ, Shirvanimoghaddam M, Abbas R, Li Y, Vucetic B, 'On the design of analog fountain codes for short packet communications in 5G URLLC', IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (2019)

© 2019 IEEE. Analog fountain code (AFC) is a seamless rate adaptation strategy and was recently shown to closely approach the channel capacity without the channel state information at the transmitter side. The code was mainly designed for large block lengths and therefore the design for short packet communications which is one of the communication scenarios in 5G ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), is still not clear. We tackle this problem in this work and particularly focus on the design of the precoder which is shown to significantly affects the overall performance of the AFC in the short block length regime. We consider BCH codes as the precoder, and determine the rate of the code in order to maximize the realized rate under a given block error rate constraint. Simulation is performed to investigate the effect of choices for BCH precoder on the overall performance of BCH-AFC in terms of reliability and latency. We show that by selecting the appropriate BCH code as the AFC precoder, AFC performs closely to the normal approximation benchmark. We further proposed a threshold-based decoder to reduce the decoding complexity which is of significant importance in URLLC scenarios.

Short Channel Code Design for Mission-Critical Communications$455,000

This project aims to develop fundamental science to enable transmission and channel coding technologies, which will be essential for building and rolling out of future ultra reliable and low latency wireless networks. Reliable and low latency communications are central to the development of the next generation mobile communications and many emerging critical applications. The project is expected to provide the foundations and tools for transforming, modernizing and safeguarding Australia's national critical infrastructure. The project is expected to provide novel applications such as smart grids, telemedicine, intelligent transportations, and industrial automation.

Communication Strategies for the Internet of Things$433,122

By 2020 there will be 25-50 billion embedded devices around the world, seamlessly monitoring their environments, processing information and communicating wirelessly with other devices. This massive growth in wirelessly connect devices will be driven by the internet of things, the name given to the ubiquitous connectivity of everything everywhere. The internet of things is expected to generate incremental revenue exceeding $300 billion. However, wireless cellular networks must be upgraded to accommodate these new devices. This project aims to facilitate expanded wireless connectivity by designing novel random access strategies and multilevel channel codes to enable new massive multiple access communication strategies for cellular networks.
