We introduce a novel soft-aided hard-decision decoder for product codes adopting bit marking via updated reliabilities at each decoding iteration. Gains up to 0.8 dB vs. standard iterative bounded distance decoding and up to 0.3 dB vs. our previously proposed bit-marking decoder are demonstrated.

The so-called improved soft-aided bit-marking algorithm was recently proposed for staircase codes (SCCs) in the context of fiber optical communications. This algorithm is known as iSABM-SCC. With the help of channel soft information, the iSABM-SCC decoder marks bits via thresholds to deal with both miscorrections and failures of hard-decision (HD) decoding. In this paper, we study iSABM-SCC focusing on the parameter optimization of the algorithm and its performance analysis, in terms of the gap to the achievable information rates (AIRs) of HD codes and the fiber reach enhancement. We show in this paper that the marking thresholds and the number of modified component decodings heavily affect the performance of iSABM-SCC, and thus, they need to be carefully optimized. By replacing standard decoding with the optimized iSABM-SCC decoding, the gap to the AIRs of HD codes can be reduced to 0.26-1.02 dB for code rates of 0.74-0.87 in the additive white Gaussian noise channel with 8-ary pulse amplitude modulation. The obtained reach increase is up to 22% for data rates between 401 Gbps and 468 Gbps in an optical fiber channel.
Staircase codes (SCCs) are typically decoded using iterative bounded-distance decoding (BDD) and hard decisions. In this paper, a novel decoding algorithm is proposed, which partially uses soft information from the channel. The proposed algorithm is based on marking certain number of highly reliable and highly unreliable bits. These marked bits are used to improve the miscorrection-detection capability of the SCC decoder and the error-correcting capability of BDD. For SCCs with $2$-error-correcting Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem component codes, our algorithm improves upon standard SCC decoding by up to $0.30$~dB at a bit-error rate (BER) of $10^{-7}$. The proposed algorithm is shown to achieve almost half of the gain achievable by an idealized decoder with this structure. A complexity analysis based on the number of additional calls to the component BDD decoder shows that the relative complexity increase is only around $4%$ at a BER of $10^{-4}$. This additional complexity is shown to decrease as the channel quality improves. Our algorithm is also extended (with minor modifications) to product codes. The simulation results show that in this case, the algorithm offers gains of up to $0.44$~dB at a BER of $10^{-8}$.
In this paper, we propose a new signal organization method to work in the structure of the multi level coding (MLC). The transmit bits are divided into opportunistic bit (OB) and conventional bit (CB), which are mapped to the lower level- and higher level signal in parallel to the MLC, respectively. Because the OBs mapping does not require signal power explicitly, the energy of the CB modulated symbol can be doubled. As the result, the overall mutual information of the proposed method is found higher than that of the conventional BPSK in one dimensional case. Moreover, the extension of the method to the two-complex-dimension shows the better performance over the QPSK. The numerical results confirm this approach.
Inspired by the recent advances in deep learning (DL), this work presents a deep neural network aided decoding algorithm for binary linear codes. Based on the concept of deep unfolding, we design a decoding network by unfolding the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-penalized decoder. In addition, we propose two improv
We study the problem of optimal power allocation in single-hop multi-antenna ad-hoc wireless networks. A standard technique to solve this problem involves optimizing a tri-convex function under power constraints using a block-coordinate-descent (BCD) based iterative algorithm. This approach, termed WMMSE, tends to be computationally complex and time consuming. Several learning-based approaches have been proposed to speed up the power allocation process. A recent work, UWMMSE, learns an affine transformation of a WMMSE parameter in an unfolded structure to accelerate convergence. In spite of achieving promising results, its application is limited to single-antenna wireless networks. In this work, we present a UWMMSE framework for power allocation in (multiple-input multiple-output) MIMO interference networks. Through an empirical study, we illustrate the superiority of our approach in comparison to WMMSE and also analyze its robustness to changes in channel conditions and network size.
