Abstract

In the past decade, the number of mobile devices has escalated driven mostly by demand for bandwidth-hungry smart phones. The need for efficient and reliable wireless communications has never been greater. The future Internet of Things (IoT) consisting of interconnected common objects capable of sensing and processing may generate orders of magnitudes more data. At the same time, the amount of radio spectrum is essentially limited, motivating a perpetual search for efficient coding schemes. Although major advances have been realized in coding, wireless mobile systems remain highly susceptible to impairments in the radio channel, and the control of transmission errors continues to be a major research problem and practical concern for communications system designers [1].
