CUMULATIVE DECISION TECHNIQUES FOR ERROR-FREE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS,
Abstract
Efforts concerned the exploration of practicable methods by which the efficiency of error-free, fail-safe, digital communication systems operat ing over real channels can be raised to yield information rates closer to channel capacity. Emphasis was on cumulative decision techniques. A feedback policy is described which makes the system completely compatible with the cumulative process. Several useful cumulation methods are considered and analyzed, including systems em ploying binary, null-zone, and continuous-level reception. Some numerical results are presented of certain characteristics of two of the pro posed cumulation methods, in order to substan tiate and shed further light on portions o 0 analysis. An overall system performance calcu lation is also included. (Author)
