Non-Linear Self-Interference Cancellation Using Neural Networks

Download (ZIP file, 901 KB)

This python code implements the neural network based non-linear self-interference cancellation method desribed in [1], as well as a baseline polynomial non-linear self-interference canellation method for comparison purposes. The ZIP file also contains the measurements from a full-duplex testbed that are used as a dataset. A working installation of Keras is required to run the code. The default values in the code exactly reproduce (up to the randomness of the mini-batch learning procedure for the neural network) the results in [1].

Look-Up Table Based LDPC Decoders

LUT-LDPC is a collection of software tools that can be used to design and test LDPC decoders based on discrete message passing decoding using lookup tables (LUTs) [1,2]. It is mainly written in C++ and relies on the IT++ for abstracting basic linear algebra and signal processing operations. Consequently, the LUT decoders can easily be integrated into more complex communication systems including concatenated coding and/or modulation. The collection also includes LUT-LDPC-VHDL, which is is a software tool that uses the optimized LUTs designed by the LUT-LDPC software in order to generate VHDL code and simulation files for a fully-unrolled LDPC hardware decoder [3,4].

Metric Sorters for Successive Cancellation List Decoding of Polar Codes

Download (ZIP file, 10 KB)

This software package contains VHDL code that implements all the metric sorters for successive cancellation list decoding of polar codes that we described in [1]. Specifically, it contains implementations of a radix-2L sorter (full & pruned), a bitonic sorter (full & pruned), as well as a simplified bubble sorter.

Design of LDPC Codes for the Two-User Gaussian MAC

Download (ZIP file, 7 KB)

This MATLAB code implements the EXIT-chart based LDPC code design method for the unequal power two-user Gaussian multiple access channel described in [1]. A working installation of the CVX toolbox is required to run the code. The default values exactly reproduce the results for the first case of Table I in [1].
