The three-dimensional world of ordinary experience—the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and ...

While superposition codes asymptotically reach the Shannon capacity, we show that our iterative decoder is limited by a phase transition similar to the one that happens in low density parity check ...

For many codes the decoding complexity is lower than previous methods, such as the algorithm by Bahl et al. (1974), and the decrease is shown at its most when decoding Hamming codes.
