Composite DNA letters, by merging all four DNA nucleotides in specified ratios, offer a pathway to substantially increase the logical density of DNA digital storage (DDS) systems. However, these letters are susceptible to nucleotide errors and sampling bias, leading to a high letter error rate, which complicates…

'Weihua Pan' 'Jue Ruan'] Title: ABSTRACT Error-correcting codes (ECCs) employed in the state-of-the-art DNA digital storage (DDS) systems suffer from a trade-off between error-correcting capability and the proportion of redundancy. To address this issue, in this study, we introduce soft-decision decoding approach into…

DNA storage offers exceptional information density and archival longevity, but is constrained by the complex, heterogeneous errors inherent to synthesis, storage, and sequencing. Conventional error-correction schemes often rely on excessive logical redundancy to mitigate these biochemical imperfections, thereby…

—Deep neural network (DNN)-based channel decoding is widely considered in the literature. The existing solutions are investigated for the case of hard output, i.e. when the decoder returns the estimated information word. At the same time, soft-output decoding is of critical importance for iterative receivers and…

As nanopore technology reaches ever higher throughput and accuracy, it becomes an increasingly viable candidate for reading out DNA data storage. Nanopore sequencing offers considerable flexibility by allowing long reads, real-time signal analysis, and the ability to read both DNA and RNA. We need flexible and…

We present novel decoding schemes for hard and soft decision decoding of block codes using the minimal weight codewords of the dual code. The decoding schemes will be described for cyclic codes where polynomials can be used, however, the modification for non-cyclic codes is possible and straight forward. The hard…

—The anti-interference capability of wireless links is a physical layer problem for edge computing. Although convolutional codes have inherent error correction potential due to the redundancy introduced in the data, the performance of the convolutional code is drastically degraded due to multipath effects on the…

This paper gives a solution to the blind parameter identification of a convolutional encoder. The problem can be addressed in the context of the noncooperative communications or adaptive coding and modulations (ACM) for cognitive radio networks. We consider an intelligent communication receiver which can blindly…

'Abbas Rahimi'] Brain-inspired high-dimensional (HD) computing represents and manipulates data using very long, random vectors with dimensionality in the thousands. This representation provides great robustness for various classification tasks where classifiers operate at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions.…

Coherent detection based receivers with electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) are being considered for next generation optical transport networks (OTN) [1]. Quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation is the leading candidate for 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s OTN. However, QPSK may suffer from ±π/2 phase jumps or cycle…

In order to improve the performance of non-binary low-density parity check codes (LDPC) hard decision decoding algorithm and to reduce the complexity of decoding, a sum of the magnitude for hard decision decoding algorithm based on loop update detection is proposed. This will also ensure the reliability, stability and…

Product codes (PCs) are widely used in high-speed communication systems due to their attractive trade-off between error-correction performance and complexity. To further meet the rapidly growing demand for higher data rates, soft-aided hard-decision decoders (SA-HDDs) have been developed. In this paper, we present a…

'Hamid Ebrahimzad' 'Hossein Najafi'] Abstract—We introduce a novel universal soft-decision decoding algorithm for binary block codes called ordered reliability direct error pattern testing (ORDEPT). Our results, obtained for a variety of popular short high-rate codes, demonstrate that ORDEPT outperforms…

In this paper, we revisit the forward, backward and bidirectional Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) soft-input soft-output (SISO) maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoding process of rate-1 binary convolutional codes. From this we establish some interesting explicit relationships between encoding and decoding of…

This is the second part of a series of papers on a revisit to the bidirectional Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv (BCJR) soft-in-soft-out (SISO) maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoding algorithm. Part I revisited the BCJR MAP decoding algorithm for rate-1 binary convolutional codes and proposed a linear complexity…

Recent work has suggested that prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a key role in context-dependent perceptual decision-making. Here we investigate population-level coding of decision variables in monkey PFC using a new method for identifying task-relevant dimensions of neural activity. Our analyses reveal that, in contrast…

Decoding is a powerful approach for measuring the information contained in the activity of neural populations. As a result, decoding analyses are now used across a wide range of model organisms and experimental paradigms. However, typical analyses employ general purpose decoding algorithms that do not explicitly take…

Decision-making is an essential cognitive function. It can be impaired due to a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders as well as external factors such as time pressure or stress. To assist users during decision-making, we propose a decision-making brain computer interface (BCI) that can alert to uninformed…

We studied the fine temporal structure of spiking patterns of groups of up to 100 simultaneously recorded units in the prefrontal cortex of monkeys performing a visual discrimination task. We characterized the vocabulary of population activity patterns using 10 ms time bins and found that different sets of population…

Perception is produced by ‘reading out’ the representation of a sensory stimulus contained in the firing rates of a population of neurons. To examine experimentally how populations code information, a common approach is to decode a linearly-weighted sum of the neurons’ firing rates. This approach is popular because of…
