Near-Capacity Wireless System Design Principles

In this tutorial, the design procedure of near-capacity channel code design invoking non-binary EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts is illustrated by using design examples of Irregular Concatenated Coding Arrangements (ICCAs) relying on Irregular Convolutional Codes (IrCCs). More specifically, in order to benchmark the near-capacity design examples, both the capacity and the Outage Probability (OP) of the Continuous-input Continuous-output Memoryless Channel (CCMC), of the Discrete-input Continuous-output Memoryless Channel (DCMC) as well as of the Differential Discrete-input Continuous-output Memoryless Channel (D-DCMC) are characterised. Furthermore, the EXIT-chart aided near-capacity design principles are illustrated by detailing the design process of three characteristic prototype schemes, which represent the family of coherent and non-coherent detection based systems as well as Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems, respectively. Moreover, the beneficial application of the EXIT-chart based design principle is also demonstrated in the context of cooperative systems using a specific distributed MIMO prototype scheme.
