Future Design of Channel Codes: A Complex Network Perspective
Francis C. M. Lau, Chi Kong Tse, Zhiliang Zhu · 2011
Channel coding has been studied for over 60 years while complex network has not been intensively investigated until recently. In this review paper, we aim to establish a linkage between channel coding and complex networks - two seemingly unrelated topics. We show by two examples how the characteristics of complex networks can inspire new ways of designing channel codes. Finally, we give some future directions in this promising research area.
