Simple method for limiting delay of optimized interleavers for turbo-codes
2000
An iterative interleaver growth algorithm is extended to allow the delay and required memory of designed interleavers to be halved with negligible performance loss. The original algorithm is efficient for two-component parallel concatenated turbo-codes with given constituent encoders that are optimum with regard to a cost function satisfying some mild conditions. However, it is only actually optimum if the selected set of patterns is representative of low-weight turbo-codewords. The new interleaver uses all terminating error patterns having an input weight not greater than a fixed IWX and single-coder output weight not greater than WX is proposed.
Confidence Intervals for the Mean Based on Exponential Type Inequalities and Empirical Likelihood
2013
For independent observations, recently, it has been proposed to construct the confidence intervals for the mean using exponential type inequalities. Although this method requires much weaker assumptions than those required by the classical methods, the resulting intervals are usually too large. Still in special cases, one can find some advantage of using bounded and unbounded Bernstein inequalities. In this paper, we discuss the applicability of this approach for dependent data. Moreover, we propose to use the empirical likelihood method both in the case of independent and dependent observations for inference regarding the mean. The advantage of empirical likelihood is its Bartlett correcta…
Vector-like quarks and New Physics in the flavour sector
2013
We present a detailed analysis of recent flavour data in the framework of a simple extension of the Standard Model, where a Q = 2/3 vector-like isosinglet quark is added to the spectrum. Constraints from all the relevant quark flavour sectors are used. Important deviations from Standard Model expectations in different observables such as the semileptonic asymmetry in Bd decays, AdSL, the time-dependent CP asymmetry in Bs ? J/??, and rare decays such as K+ ? ?+? can be obtained.
