A Spatial Self-Interference Nullification Method for Full Duplex Amplify-And-Forward MIMO Relays

TL;DR: A spatial self-interference nullification method employing extra transmit antennas in FD-AF multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems is proposed, and characteristics of the proposed system when there exist channel estimation errors are analyzed.

Cooperative diversity through virtual arrays in multihop networks

TL;DR: A multihop cellular network architecture which takes advantage of cooperation among users to induce a diversity gain, and derives the coding strategy, for such a virtual array, that maximizes the sum of the rates from the MTs to the BS, under the constraint of a given total available power.

Nonlinear Amplifier Distortion in Cooperative Amplify-and-Forward OFDM Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a maximum ratio combiner (MRC) is introduced that includes the effects of the amplifier distortions and a power amplifier nonlinearity cancellation (PANC) technique that is suitable for cooperative systems.

Virtual MIMO Channels in Cooperative Multi-hop Wireless Sensor Networks

TL;DR: Results show that the performance of the proposed virtual MIMO channels is equal to that of real MIMo channels but for a small SNR loss.

Minimum energy communication over a relay channel

TL;DR: In this paper, upper and lower bounds on the minimum energy-per-bit required for reliable communication over AWGN relay channels were investigated, and the upper bound was shown to be less than 2.

Noiseless coding of correlated information sources

TL;DR: The minimum number of bits per character R_X and R_Y needed to encode these sequences so that they can be faithfully reproduced under a variety of assumptions regarding the encoders and decoders is determined.

Three-terminal communication channels

TL;DR: A coding theorem and weak converse are proved and a necessary and sufficient condition for a positive capacity is derived and upper and lower bounds on the capacity are obtained, which coincide for channels with symmetric structure.

Source coding with side information and a converse for degraded broadcast channels

TL;DR: In Section H of the paper, a characterization of the capacity region for degraded broadcast channels (DBC's) is given, which was conjectured by Bergmans and is somewhat sharper than the one obtained by Gallager.

A proof of the data compression theorem of Slepian and Wolf for ergodic sources (Corresp.)

TL;DR: It is established that the Slepian-Wolf theorem is true without change for arbitrary ergodic processes \{(X_i,Y_i)\}_{i=1}^{\infty} and countably infinite alphabets.

On source coding with side information at the decoder

TL;DR: The characterization of the family of rate triples (R_0,R_1, R_2) for which this system can deliver essentially perfect reproductions of X and Y and the principal result is a characterization of this family via an information-theoretic minimization.
