The potential benefits of multiple-antenna systems may be limited by two types of channel degradations--rank deficiency and spatial fading correlation of the channel. In this paper...
A popular way to measure the degree of dependence between two random objects is by their mutual information, defined as the divergence between the joint and product-of-marginal dis...
We develop a "plug-in" kernel estimator for the differential entropy that is consistent even if the kernel width tends to zero as quickly as 1/N, where N is the number of...
The capacity of sticky channels, a subclass of insertion channels where each symbol may be duplicated multiple times, is considered. The primary result is to provide nearly tight n...
Abstract--An algorithm for scalar quantizer design on discrete-alphabet sources is proposed. The proposed algorithm can be used to design fixed-rate and entropy-constrained convent...
