AN APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT OF BLOCK-COMMUTATIVE CODES WITH LOW DENSITY OF PARITY CHECK Alexander V. Kozlov, Evgeny A. Krouk, Andrei A. Ovchinnikov
9
Methods of low-density parity-check codes construction are proposed. The codes constructions are presented, results of application of the codes in AWGN channel are demonstrated.
14
Basic definitions of error-detecting robust codes are formulated; the area of the codes application is described. The lower bound of the length of systematic R-uniformly distributed codes is deduced. Comparison with the present-day results is carried out.
17
The classic Goertzel-Blahut algorithm for computation of discrete Fourier transform over a finite field is considered along with several modifications of the classic algorithm. It is shown that the modified Goertzel—Blahut algorithm is closely related to the fast Fourier transform algorithms rather than to the semi-fast algorithms.

20
The problem of list decoding of turbo codes is considered. A new algorithm of window-based list decoder of convolutional code with soft output is developed in the frames of the parallel turbo decoding method. The proposed algorithm is shown to outperform the algorithm presented earlier; the gain in performance is obtained not only with short words, but also with words of considerable length.

A concept of a robust code is presented. Basic characteristics of such a code are formulated, and a new construction method is proposed. A nonlinear function is introduced to compute check symbols. Analysis of the code robustness in the case of unidirectional errors is performed.

35
Interference cancellation procedure in a centralized wireless network is considered. The PHY layer of the network uses OFDM modulation, while the MAC layer employs random multiple access. The error probability of interference cancellation is estimated. The dependence of maximal stable throughput of multiple access algorithms on the SNR is derived.

A new algorithm for signal reception is developed on the base of calculation of likelihood function maximum. Results of analytical calculation of the bit error rate, as well as modeling results are presented.

52
Power saving techniques based on periodical disconnection of subscriber’s device is considered. Energy consumption by the device and mean initial delay are estimated with the use of a standard mathematical model.
58
An advanced version of mutual authentication protocol LMAP++ is presented. The proposed improvement is based on substitution of standard addition operation modulo 2m by addition operation modulo 2m–1, and application of only simplest arithmetic operations. The proposed modification complexity is compared with complexity of known methods for increasing the reliability of the protocol LMAP + +.

METHOD OF SIDE INFORMATION GENERATION FOR DISTRIBUTED VIDEO CODING SYSTEMS Anton I. Veselov, Marat R. Gilmutdinov, Boris S. Filippov
62
Main problems of distributed video coding are considered. Using reference codec DISCOVER as an example, advantages and disadvantages of basic coding methods are analyzed. A new method for generation of side information based on hierarchical motion estimation is proposed. Efficiency of a codec based on the proposed method as compared with DISCOVER is illustrated with rate-distortion diagrams
