Abstract
Digital communications is the foundation of modern telecommunications and digital signal processing. The second edition of Digital Communications is updated to include current techniques and systems used in the rapidly expanding field of fixed and mobile communications. The text has comprehensive coverage of digital communications without going into unnecessary detail or irrelevant topics. Its main aims are to develop the mathematical theory behind signal processing and use this knowledge to develop fixed and mobile data communications systems. This text is geared towards students who already have a technical understanding of electrical engineering from their introductory years at university and who wish to focus on digital communications. It covers everything these students will need to know, including modern techniques.

Capacity Limits of Optical Fiber Networks

TL;DR: In this article, the capacity limit of fiber-optic communication systems (or fiber channels?) is estimated based on information theory and the relationship between the commonly used signal to noise ratio and the optical signal-to-noise ratio is discussed.

Multichannel Blind Source Separation Using Convolution Kernel Compensation

TL;DR: A novel decomposition technique suitable for blind separation of linear mixtures of signals comprising finite-length symbols that approaches Bayesian optimal linear minimum mean square error estimator and is, hence, significantly noise resistant.

Wireless Myths, Realities, and Futures: From 3G/4G to Optical and Quantum Wireless

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate both the operational 3G as well as the emerging fourth-generation (4G) wireless systems and demonstrate that there is a substantial difference between their theoretical and their practically attainable performance.

Flash memory apparatus and methods using a plurality of decoding stages including optional use of concatenated BCH codes and/or designation of “first below” cells

TL;DR: In this article, a method for decoding a plurality of flash memory cells which are error-correction-coded as a unit was proposed, the method comprising providing a hard decoding success indication indicating whether or not hard-decoding is at least likely to be successful.
