AT&T Bell Labs,
Middletown, NJ.

WHERE: Room 202, Electrical and Computer Engineering Center

About the Talk:
With the recent developments in mobile and portable wireless communications
the problem of code design for reliable, high-speed data transmission
over corresponding physical channels is of considerable current interest.
The aim of this presentation is to first give an insight into the basic
code design principles for channel models that arise in the wireless
communications. It will be shown that there is an equivalent (in most cases)
between coding and so called time diversity (sending the same message
several times). Subsequently, an array of coding schemes available today
will be presented, with the aim of matching a certain channel model to a
particular channel coding technique. Two new coding schemes will be presented.
The first one, coordinate interleaved QAM-Trellis Coded Modulation is
aimed at future mobile transmission systems that will require delivery at
higher information rates with greater power efficiency as compared to
currently used PSK constellations. The second coding scheme aimed at
packetized transmission of information requiring short end-to-end delay a
nd bit-error-rates lower then 10^(-6) will present a new algorithm that
enables soft decision decoding of a large class of block codes with
performance level close to maximum likelihood procedure, at a fraction
of the complexity of the latter. Some directions for future research in
the area will be given.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Branko Jelicic was born in Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, in 1965. He received the
Dipl. Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Novi
Sad, Yugoslavia, in 1990, and the M.S. and PhD degrees from the University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, in 1993, and 1995, respectively. From 1990
to 1991 he was a Teaching Assistant at the University of Novi Sad. From 1991
he has been a Research and the Teaching Assistant at the University of
Pennsylvania, at Electrical Engineering and Mathematics departments. During
the 1995 Spring semester he was a research scientist at the University of
Texas at San Antonio. In the summer of 1993 he worked for AT&T Bell Labs.,
Murray Hill, NJ; and in the summer of 1994 for AT&T Bell Labs., Middletown,
NJ. Since August 1995 he has been with AT&T Bell Labs. Advanced Multimedia
Communications department in Middletown, NJ. His research interests are
in the areas of communication theory and signal processing.
