Exploiting capture and interference cancellation for uplink random multiple access in 5G millimeter-wave networks
The forthcoming 5G technology aims to provide massive device connectivity and ultra-high capacity with reduced latency and costs. These features will be enabled by increasing the density of the base stations, ...

Open AccessOn Rate-Compatible Punctured Turbo Codes Design
We propose and compare some design criteria for the search of good systematic rate-compatible punctured turbo code (RCPTC) families. The considerations presented by S. Benedetto et al. (1998) to find the "best...

Effects of Sectorization on Cellular Radio Systems Capacity with Different Traffic Loads
The application of cell sectorization as a mean to improve a cellular radiosystem Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR), and hence capacity, is investigated.To assess the usefulness of sectorization, a lower boun...

Coding and Networking Techniques for Radio Networks
We study the interaction of source and channel coding, and of coding and multiplexing techniques, given a multi-mode, Variable Bit Rate (VBR), and embedded source coding scheme. We estimate the coded bit-strea...

A Variable-Order Discrete Model for the Fading Channel
Fading on the mobile propagation channel is modeled as a Markov chain with unspecified state space and order. State space and memory are selected via the context tree pruning (CTP) algorithm that has provable ...

Analysis of a contention resolution multiple-access algorithm for handling mixed traffic on wireless networks
Existing wireless standards, like DECT and GSM, are based on TDMA. Packet multiple-access algorithms perform statistical multiplexing, leading to greater efficiency than basic TDMA which assigns a fixed amount...

Contention resolution multiple access techniques for handling speech and data traffic on wireless networks
We propose a methodology for applying contention resolution multiple access techniques on a slotted and framed radio channel. The proposed techniques are able to handle the access of a mixed class of users, on...
