Antisparsity as a Prior in Blind Separation of Correlated Sources

<div>This letter introduces the concept of antisparse Blind Source Separation (BSS), proposing a suitable criterion based on the $\ell_\infty$ norm to explore the antisparsity feature. </div><div>The effectiveness of the criterion is theoretically demonstrated and it is also evaluated by computational simulations, which consider up to ten distinct sources with different correlation levels. Moreover, we simulated a scenario in wireless communication with binary sources, comparing our approach to the Constant Modulus algorithm.

Combining the Burrows-Wheeler Transform and RCM-LDGM Codes for the Transmission of Sources with Memory at High Spectral Efficiencies

In this paper, we look at the problem of implementing high-throughput Joint Source- Channel (JSC) coding schemes for the transmission of binary sources with memory over AWGN channels. The sources are modeled either by a Markov chain (MC) or a hidden Markov model (HMM). We propose a coding scheme based on the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) and the parallel concatenation of Rate-Compatible Modulation and Low-Density Generator Matrix (RCM-LDGM) codes. The proposed scheme uses the BWT to convert the original source with memory into a set of independent non-uniform Discrete Memoryless (DMS) binary sources, which are then separately encoded, with optimal rates, using RCM-LDGM codes.
