We propose two different decoding methods where the simplified one ignores the memory in the battery state while the more sophisticated one utilizes the memory. Numerical results demonstrate that the designed codes outperform other reference schemes. The results also show the superiority of the improved decoding approach over the naive solution.EnglishBinary energy harvesting channelChannels with memoryLDPC code designNonlinear trellis codesElectric batteriesForward error correctionInformation theorySatellite communication systemsTrellis codesDecoding methodsNoisy channelNumerical resultsEnergy harvestingConference Paper10.1109/ISIT.2017.8006704
