We consider the decoding of bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) applied to multiband OFDM for practical scenarios where only a noisy (possibly very bad) estimate of the channel is available at the receiver. First, a decoding metric…
Maximum-likelihood (ML) detection in high-order MIMO systems is computationally prohibitive due to exponential complexity in the number of transmit layers and constellation size. In this white paper, we demonstrate that for practical MIMO…
We present a novel technique to measure $\sigma_8$, by measuring the dependence of the second-order bias of a density field on $\sigma_8$ using two separate techniques. Each technique employs area-averaged angular correlation functions…
Directional modulation (DM) is a physical layer security technique based on antenna arrays and so far the polarisation information has not been considered in its designs. To increase the channel capacity, we consider exploiting the…

The performance of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) with bit shaping (i.e., non-equiprobable bit probabilities in the underlying binary code) is studied. For the Gaussian channel, the rates achievable with BICM and bit shaping are…
We investigate the mutual information harvesting of two circularly accelerated detectors that interact with the massless scalar fields near a reflecting boundary. We consider that the two detectors share a common rotational axis with the…
