New placement techniques are presented which substantially improve the process of automatic layout generation of analog IC's. Extremely tight specifications can be enforced o...
Abstract We observe that the switching activity at a circuit node, also called the transition density, can be extremely sensitive to the circuit internal delays. As a result, sligh...
—In this paper, we present a near ML-achieving sphere search technique that reduces the number of search operations significantly over existing sphere decoding (SD) algorithms. ...
In this paper, we derive closed form upper bounds on the error probability of low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded modulation schemes operating on quasi-static fading channels. Th...
Since the standard union bound for space-time codes may diverge in quasi-static fading channels, the limit-before-average technique has been exploited to derive tight performance b...
