The information rate of finite-state source/channel models can be accurately estimated by
sampling both a long channel input sequence and the corresponding channel output …

This article's goal is to provide an in-depth understanding of the principles of FSMC
modeling of fading channels with its applications in wireless communication systems. While …

In this paper, we present two simple Monte Carlo methods for estimating the achievable
information rates of general finite state channels. Both methods require only the ability to …

Rapid advances in recording materials, read/write heads, and mechanical designs over the
last 15 years have led to the need for more complicated signal processing, coding, and …

The classical Blahut-Arimoto algorithm (BAA) is a well-known algorithm that optimizes a
discrete memoryless source (DMS) at the input of a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) in …

In this paper, we investigate the ultimate performance limits, in terms of achievable
information rate (IR), of communication systems impaired by impulse noise. We compare …

There have been numerous attempts to determine the channel capacity of a nonlinear fiber-
optic communication channel. The main approach was to consider amplified spontaneous …

Energy harvesting sensor nodes are gaining popularity due to their ability to improve the
