    Multi-input multi-output deletion channel
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2012) Wang F.; Duman, T. M.
    We describe a new channel model suitable in certain applications, namely the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) deletion channel. This channel models the scenarios where multiple transmitters and receivers suffering from synchronization errors are employed. We then consider a coding scheme over such channels based on a serial concatenation of a low-density parity check (LDPC) code, a marker code and a layered space-time code. We design two detectors operating at the bit level which jointly achieve synchronization for the deletion channel (with the help of the marker code) and detection for the MIMO channel. Utilizing the proposed detector together with an LDPC code with powerful error-correction capabilities, we demonstrate that reliable transmission over a MIMO deletion channel is feasible.

    On capacity and coding for segmented deletion channels
    (IEEE, 2011) Wang, F.; Aktaş, Defne; Duman, T. M.
    We consider binary deletion channels with a segmentation assumption which appears to be suited for more practical scenarios. Unlike the binary independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) deletion channel where each bit is independently deleted with an equal probability, the segmentation assumption prohibits certain transmitted bits to be deleted, i.e., in a block of bits of a certain length, only a limited number of deletions can occur. We first propose several upper and lower capacity bounds for the segmented deletion channel. Then we focus on an interleaved concatenation of an outer low-density parity check (LDPC) code with error-correction capabilities and an inner marker code with synchronization capabilities over these channels. With the help of a specifically designed maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) detector, we demonstrate reliable transmission at higher code rates than the existing ones reported in the literature.
