    Non-orthogonal space–frequency block codes from cyclic codes for wireless systems employing MIMO-OFDM with index modulation
    (Elsevier B.V., 2019) Raghavendra, R.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.
    Space–frequency codes (SFC) having error correcting structure can be used to enhance the bit error rate (BER) performance of modern wireless systems (5G and beyond) employing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and multi-carrier communication. In this work, the construction of non-orthogonal space–frequency block codes (NSFBC) from (n,k) cyclic codes has been proposed. In which, n represents the number of symbols in the codeword and k represents the number of symbols in the information sequence. The performance of proposed codes has been evaluated in MIMO systems employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and index modulation (MIMO-OFDM-IM). We initially obtained (n,k) full rank cyclic codes for any 1 q m . Further, NSFBCs are obtained from full rank codes using Rank preserving maps. In a 2 × 2 system and a 10-path MIMO channel, the proposed full rank NSFBC with rank-preserving IM mapping (FR-NSFBC-IM), over F 5 2 , provides he similar BER performance when compared to MIMO-OFDM-IM system with Rate-1 Alamouti code and QPSK. Moreover, it provides an improvement in spectral efficiency of about 0.9 b/s/Hz. When compared to the MIMO-OFDM-IM with BPSK, FR-NSFBC-IM codes over F 5 2 provide an asymptotic SNR gain of about 1 dB and also the spectral efficiency has been improved by about 0.6 b/s/Hz. In the 4 × 4 scenario, full rank NSFBCs over F 5 4 with rank deficient IM mapping (RD-NSFBC-IM) provide an improvement in spectral efficiency of about 1.3 b/s/Hz. However, BER performance is similar to that of MIMO-OFDM-IM with BPSK. © 2019

    Spatially Modulated Non Orthogonal Space Time Block Code: Construction and design from cyclic codes over Galois Field
    (Elsevier B.V., 2019) Godkhindi Shrutkirthi, G.S.; G.D., G.S.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.
    A new class of non-binary Spatially Modulated Non-orthogonal Space Time Block Code designs (SM-NSTBC) has been proposed. These designs employ full rank, length n,(n|qm?1,m?n) cyclic codes defined over GF(qm). The underlying cyclic code constructions have the property that the codewords when viewed as m×n matrices over GF(q) have rank equal to m (Full rank). These codes are punctured to yield m×m full rank matrices over GF(q). Rank preserving transformations are used to map the codewords of full rank codes over a finite field to full rank Space Time Block Codes. The proposed scheme can be generalized to handle any number of transmit antenna greater than two. Due to the characteristics of Full rank cyclic codes employed, a coding gain of approximately 1.5 dB to 5 dB is obtained over conventional STBC-SM and SM-OSTBC schemes. This is demonstrated for spectral efficiencies of 4, 5, 7 and 8 bpcu. Analytical as well as Monte-Carlo simulations show that proposed SM-NSTBC outperforms STBC-SM and its variants. The upper bound on average bit error rate has been derived and the computation complexity for ML detection has been estimated. © 2019

    Generalized designs for precoded receive spatial modulation derived from non-orthogonal space time block codes
    (Springer, 2022) Shashikant, S.G.; G.D., G.D.G.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.
    In this paper, a new MIMO scheme termed as precoded Spatially Modulated Non-orthogonal Space Time Block Code (precoded SM-NSTBC) is proposed. The primary concept of precoded SM-NSTBC is to activate a subset of receive antennas in a pre-defined manner and choose specific activated patterns to represent information symbols. We have synthesized schemes derived from full rank Cyclic codes defined over Galois field Rank preserving transformations are used to map the full rank codewords over a finite field to full rank Space Time Block Codes. Due to the characteristics of full rank Cyclic codes employed, a performance improvement of approximately 2 dB to 7 dB is observed. This advantage is realized when the performance of these schemes is compared with precoded SM-OSTBC and precoded STBC-SM. The improvement due to the coding gain is observed in both uncorrelated as well as correlated Rayleigh fading environments. An upper bound on the average bit error rate (ABER) is derived. Close correspondence between Monte-Carlo simulations and analytic values are observed. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    On the Design of SSRS and RS Codes for Enhancing the Integrity of Information Storage in NAND Flash Memories
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Achala, G.; Shripathi Acharya, U.S.; Srihari, P.
    The revolution in the field of information processing systems has created a huge demand for reliable and enhanced data storage capabilities. This demand is being met by advances in channel coding algorithms along with upward scaling of the capacities of hardware devices. NAND Flash memory is a type of non-volatile memory. Scaling of the size of flash memories from Single Level Cell (SLC) devices to Multilevel cell (MLC) devices has increased the storage capacity. However, these multi-bit per cell architectures are characterized by significantly higher Raw Bit Error Rate (RBER) values when compared with SLC architectures. The requirement of low Undetected Bit Error Rate (UBER) values has motivated us to synthesize powerful channel codes for enhancing the integrity of information Storage in multi-level NAND Flash Memory devices. This paper describes the synthesis of novel Subfield Subcodes of Reed Solomon Codes (SSRS) and Reed-Solomon (RS) codes which are matched to multi-bit per cell architectures. UBER values have been calculated for each of the synthesized codes described in this paper. This allows the determination of the performance and the improvement in data storage integrity brought by using these codes. We have shown that the synthesized SSRS and RS codes can provide very low UBER even when the corresponding RBER values are appreciable. As RS codes permit the detection and correction of a greater number of errors for a given code length, their performance is superior to that of SSRS codes. This improved performance is obtained at the cost of greater complexity of encoding and decoding processes. © 2013 IEEE.
