TL;DR: New exponential bounds for the Gaussian Q function and its inverse are presented and a quite accurate and simple approximate expression given by the sum of two exponential functions is reported for the general problem of evaluating the average error probability in fading channels.

TL;DR: A concise closed-form expression is derived for the characteristic function (c.f.) of MIMO system capacity with arbitrary correlation among the transmitting antennas or among the receiving antennas in frequency-flat Rayleigh-fading environments, and an exact expression for the mean value of the capacity for arbitrary correlation matrices is derived.

TL;DR: This article presents an exploration of cooperative network localization and navigation from a theoretical foundation to applications, covering technologies and spatiotemporal cooperative algorithms.

TL;DR: The proposed EXIT analysis takes into account edge connections, permitting the decoding convergence evaluation for protograph-based and multi- edge type low-density parity-check codes, allowing the design of highly-structured capacity approaching LDPC codes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a random access scheme is introduced which relies on the combination of packet erasure correcting codes and successive interference cancellation (SIC), and a bipartite graph representation of the SIC process, resembling iterative decoding of generalized low-density parity check codes over the erasure channel, is exploited to optimize the selection probabilities of the component erasure correction codes via density evolution analysis.
