Sphere-bound-achieving coset codes and multilevel coset codes
TLDR
A simple sphere bound gives the best possible tradeoff between the volume per point of an infinite array L and its error probability on an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Expand

MMSE decision-feedback equalizers and coding. I. Equalization results
TLDR
The minimum mean-squared-error decision-feedback equalizer (MMSE-DFE) has properties that suggest that it is a canonical equalization structure for systems that combine equalization with coded modulation, particularly at moderate to low SNR's and on severe-ISI channels. Expand
