ADAPTIVE CODING SCHEME FOR RAPIDLY CHANGING COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
Gurgen H. Khachatrian · 2010
In this paper we investigate the problem of reliable and efficient data transmission over rapidly changing communication channels. A typical example of such channel would be high-speed free space optical communication channel under various adverse atmospheric conditions, such as turbulence. We propose a new concept of developing an error correcting coding scheme in order to achieve an extremely reliable communication through atmospheric turbulence. The method is based on applying adaptive error correcting codes to recover lost information symbols caused by fading due to turbulent channel.
