Error Correcting Codes for Cooperative Broadcasting
ISL colloquium, Stanford University
(2010)
Abstract
This talk considers the design and implementation of error correcting codes for cooperative broadcasting in wireless networks. Focus is on the case of two cooperating sources transmitting two classes of information to a single receiver. This case was first introduced in the seminal work of Bergmans and Cover and referred to as "over the air mixing". Two levels of protection are provided using two low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes combined using Plotkin's |u|u+v|-construction. Expressions are derived for the bit metrics used in iterative decoding for two-level codes combined with BPSK, QPSK and 4-PAM modulations. Several examples of codes and their performance over AWGN and flat Rayleigh fading channels are presented. The talk concludes with final remarks and directions for future research in this area.
