Abstract: This paper proposes a novel Viterbi-Like successive cancellation (VL-SC) decoding algorithm for polar codes. The algorithm employs the bit log-likelihood-ratio as the “penalty value” within ...

The mystery serial killer would claim the lives of at least five victims and was in the midst of his protracted cat-and-mouse game with police and the media. He had at that stage attacked two young ...

Researchers across the globe put on their sleuthing hats this year to provide answers to questions that have lingered from decades to centuries. The thought-provoking findings offer new ways of ...

When police questioned Marvin Margolis following the murder of Elizabeth Short — who became known as the Black Dahlia — he lied about how well he had known her. The 22-year-old Short had been found ...

Some algorithms solve problems. This one changed civilization. From guiding satellites to securing your bank account, its influence reaches every corner of technology. It started with a simple insight ...

Landlords could no longer rely on rent-pricing software to quietly track each other's moves and push rents higher using confidential data, under a settlement between RealPage Inc. and federal ...

ABSTRACT: A new nano-based architectural design of multiple-stream convolutional homeomorphic error-control coding will be conducted, and a corresponding hierarchical implementation of important class ...
