Abstract:
The present thesis studies information rates for reliable transmission of information over fading channels in the realistic situation where the receiver has only imperfect channel-state knowledge. Of particular interest are analytical expressions of achievable transmission rates under imperfect and no CSI, that is, lower bounds on the mutual information and on the Shannon capacity. A well-known mutual information lower bound for Gaussian codebooks is obtained when conflating the additive (thermal) noise with the multiplicative noise due to the imperfections of the CSIR into a single effective noise term, and then assuming that this term is independent Gaussian. This so-called worst-case-noise approach allows to derive a strikingly simple and well-known lower bound on the mutual information of the channel. A first part of this thesis proposes a simple way to improve this worst-case-noise bound by means of a rate-splitting approach: by expressing the Gaussian input as a sum of several independent Gaussian inputs, and by assuming that the receiver performs successive decoding of the corresponding information streams, we show how to derive a larger mutual information lower bound. On channels with a single transmit antenna, the optimal allocation of transmit power across the different inputs is found to be approached as the number of inputs (so-called layers) tends to infinity, and the power assigned to each layer tends to zero. This infinite-layering limit gives rise to a mutual information bound expressible as an integral. On channels with multiple transmit antennas, an analogous result is derived. However, since multiple transmit antennas open up more possibilities for spatial multiplexing, the rate-splitting approach gives rise to a whole family of infinite-layering bounds. This family of bounds is closely studied for independent and identically zero-mean Gaussian distributed fading coefficients (so-called i.i.d. Rayleigh fading). Most notably, it is shown that for asymptotically perfect CSIR, any bound from the family is asymptotically tight at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Specifically, this means that the difference between the mutual information and its lower bound tends to zero as the SNR tends to infinity, provided that the CSIR tends to be exact as the SNR tends to infinity. A second part of this thesis proposes a framework for the optimization of a class of utility functions in black-Rayleigh fading multiple-antenna channels with transmit-side antenna correlation, and no CSI at the receiver. A fraction of each fading block is reserved for transmitting a sequence of training symbols, while the remaining time instants are used for transmission of data. The receiver estimates the channel matrix based on the noisy training observation and then decodes the data signal using this channel estimate. For utilities that are symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of the matrix-valued effective SNR (such as, e.g., the worst-case-noise bound), the problems consisting in optimizing the pilot sequence and the linear precoder are cast into convex (or quasi-convex) problems for concave (or quasi-concave) utility functions. We also study an important subproblem of the joint optimization, which consists in computing jointly Pareto-optimal pilot sequences and precoders. By wrapping these optimization procedures into a cyclic iteration, we obtain an algorithm which converges to a local joint optimum for any utility.
Aquesta tesi estudia les taxes d'informació per la transmissió fiable d'informació en canals amb esvaïments sota la hipòtesi realista de que el receptor té un coneixement tan sols imperfecte de l'esvaïment aleatori. De particular interès són les expressions analítiques de les taxes de transmissió assolibles amb coneixement imperfecte i sense coneixement de l'estat del canal, és a dir, cotes inferiors de la informació mútua i de la capacitat de Shannon. Una cota inferior de la informació mútua per a codis gaussians ben coneguda s'obté combinant el soroll additiu (tèrmic) amb el terme de soroll multiplicatiu causat per les imperfeccions del coneixement de l'estat del canal en un únic soroll efectiu, i assumint que el soroll és gaussià i independent. Aquesta aproximació del pitjor soroll permet obtenir una expressió molt simple i ben coneguda de la informació mútua del canal. Una primera part d'aquesta tesi proposa un procediment senzill per a millorar aquesta cota associada al pitjor cas mitjançant una estratègia de repartiment de taxa: expressant l'entrada gaussiana del canal com a la suma de diverses entrades gaussianes independents i suposant que el receptor realitza una descodificació seqüencial dels fluxos d'informació, es mostra com obtenir una major cota inferior de la informació mútua del canal. En canals amb una única antena en transmissió, la distribució òptima de potència als diferents fluxos s'obté quan el seu nombre (capes) tendeix a infinit, i la potència associada a cada capa tendeix a zero. El límit associat a un nombre infinit de capes dóna lloc a una expressió integral de la cota de la informació mútua. En canals amb múltiples antenes s'obté un resultat similar. No obstant això, atès que la utilització de múltiples antenes proporciona més possibilitats de multiplexat espacial, el procediment dóna lloc a tota una família de cotes inferiors de la informació mútua associades a una combinació de capes infinita. S'estudia en detall aquesta família de cotes per al cas de coeficients d'esvaïments gaussians de mitjana zero, independents i idènticament distribuïts (conegut com esvaïment i.i.d. Rayleigh). S'obtenen diverses propietats de la família de cotes. És important destacar que per a coneixement asimptòtic perfecte del canal en recepció, qualsevol membre de la família de cotes és asimptòticament ajustat per alta relació senyal a soroll (SNR). En concret, la diferència entre la informació mútua i la seva cota inferior tendeix a zero quan la SNR tendeix a infinit sempre que el coneixement del canal tendeixi a ser exacte a mesura que la SNR tendeix a infinit. Una segona part d'aquesta tesi proposa un marc per a l'optimització d'una classe de funcions d'utilitat en canals amb múltiples antenes i esvaïments Rayleigh per blocs amb correlació en transmissió i sense informació sobre el canal a recepció. Una fracció temporal de cada bloc d'esvaïment es reserva per transmetre una seqüència de símbols d'entrenament mentre que la resta de mostres temporals s'utilitzen per transmetre informació. El receptor estima la matriu del canal partint de la seva observació sorollosa i descodifica la informació mitjançant la seva estimació del canal. Per a una classe de funcions d'utilitat que són funcions simètriques dels autovalors de la SNR matricial efectiva, els problemes consistents en optimitzar la seqüència pilot i el precodificador lineal són transformats en problemes convexos (o quasi-convexos) per a funcions d'utilitat còncaves (o quasi-còncaves). També s'estudia un subproblema important de l'optimització conjunta, que consisteix en el càlcul de les seqüències d'entrenament i dels precodificadors conjuntament Pareto-òptims. Integrant aquests procediments d'optimització en una iteració cíclica, s'obté un algoritme que convergeix a un òptim local conjunt per a qualsevol utilitat quasi-còncava

Abstract:
Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication has been the subject of extensive research in recent years due to its unique capabilities and potential applications, particularly in short-range multiple access wireless communications. However, many important aspects of UWB-based communication systems have not yet been thoroughly investigated. The propagation of UWB signals in indoor environments is the single most important issue with significant impacts on the future direction, scope, and generally the extent of the success of UWB technology. The objective of this dissertation is to obtain a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the potentials of UWB technology by characterizing the UWB communication channels. Channel characterization refers to extracting the channel parameters from measured data. The extracted parameters are used to quantify the effect of the channel on communication UWB systems using this channel as signal transmission medium. Data are measured in different ways using a variety of time-domain and frequency-domain techniques. The experimental setups used in channel characterization effort also include pulse generators and antennas as integral parts of the channel, since the pulse shape and antenna characteristics have significant impact on channel parameters. At a fundamental level, the propagation of UWB signals, as any electromagnetic wave, is governed, among other things, by the properties of materials in the propagation medium. One of the objectives of this research is to examine propagation through walls made of typical building materials and thereby acquire ultra-wideband characterization of these materials. The loss and the dielectric constant of each material are measured over a frequency range of 1 to 15 GHz. Ten commonly used building materials are chosen for this investigation. These include, dry wall, wallboard, structure wood, glass sheet, bricks, concrete blocks, reinforced concrete (as pillar), cloth office partition, wooden door, and styrofoam slab. The work on ultra-wideband characterization of building materials resulted in an additional interesting contribution. A new formulation for evaluating the complex dielectric constant of low-loss materials, which involves solving real equations and thus requiring only one-dimensional root searching techniques, was found. The results derived from the exact complex equation and from the new formulation are in excellent agreement. Following the characterization of building materials, an indoor UWB measurement campaign is undertaken. Typical indoor scenarios, including line-of-sight (LOS), non-line-of-sight (NLOS), room-to-room, within-the-room, and hallways, are considered. Results for indoor propagation measurements are presented for local power delay profiles (local-PDP) and small-scale averaged power delay profiles (SSA-PDP). Site-specific trends and general observations are discussed. The results for pathloss exponent and time dispersion parameters are presented. The analyses results indicate the immunity of UWB signals to multipath fading. The results also clearly show that UWB signals, unlike narrowband signals, do not suffer from small scale fading, unless the receiver is too close to walls. Multipath components are further studies by employing a deconvolution technique. The application of deconvolution results in resolving multipath components with waveforms different from those of the sounding pulse. Resolving more components can improve the design of the rake receiver. The final part of this research elaborates on the nature of multiple access interference and illustrates the application of multi-user detection to improve the performance of impulse radio systems. Measured dispersion parameters and their effects on the multiple access parameters are discussed.

Abstract:
The exponentially increasing demand on operational data rate has been met with technological advances in telecommunication systems such as advanced multilevel and multidimensional modulation formats, fast signal processing, and research into new different media for signal transmission. Since the current communication channels are essentially nonlinear, estimation of the Shannon capacity for modern nonlinear communication channels is required. This PhD research project has targeted the study of the capacity limits of different nonlinear communication channels with a view to enable a significant enhancement in the data rate of the currently deployed fiber networks. In the current study, a theoretical framework for calculating the Shannon capacity of nonlinear regenerative channels has been developed and illustrated on the example of the proposed here regenerative Fourier transform (RFT). Moreover, the maximum gain in Shannon capacity due to regeneration (that is, the Shannon capacity of a system with ideal regenerators – the upper bound on capacity for all regenerative schemes) is calculated analytically. Thus, we derived a regenerative limit to which the capacity of any regenerative system can be compared, as analogue of the seminal linear Shannon limit. A general optimization scheme (regenerative mapping) has been introduced and demonstrated on systems with different regenerative elements: phase sensitive amplifiers and the proposed here multilevel regenerative schemes: the regenerative Fourier transform and the coupled nonlinear loop mirror.

Abstract:
Underwater communication and networking have become very essential both for commer-cial and military purposes. The number of research conducted in this field has increased over the past few decades. The need to communicate between sensor nodes in sensor network requires the characterization of underwater acoustic channel. This project focuses on the statistical characterization of an underwater communication channel using real data. This kind of approach of characterizing a channel makes it possible to access the performance of modern digital systems before they are built. The main idea behind this thesis report is to be able to perform simulations on real data using matlab to get reasonable results that can be compared to existing research papers.

Full text
Abstract:
Many communication systems are poorly modelled by the standard channels assumed in the information theory literature, such as the binary symmetric channel or the additive white Gaussian noise channel. Real systems suffer from additional problems including time-varying noise, cross-talk, synchronization errors and latency constraints. In this thesis, low-density parity-check codes and codes related to them are applied to non-standard channels. First, we look at time-varying noise modelled by a Markov channel. A low-density parity-check code decoder is modified to give an improvement of over 1dB. Secondly, novel codes based on low-density parity-check codes are introduced which produce transmissions with Pr(bit = 1) ≠ Pr(bit = 0). These non-linear codes are shown to be good candidates for multi-user channels with crosstalk, such as optical channels. Thirdly, a channel with synchronization errors is modelled by random uncorrelated insertion or deletion events at unknown positions. Marker codes formed from low-density parity-check codewords with regular markers inserted within them are studied. It is shown that a marker code with iterative decoding has performance close to the bounds on the channel capacity, significantly outperforming other known codes. Finally, coding for a system with latency constraints is studied. For example, if a telemetry system involves a slow channel some error correction is often needed quickly whilst the code should be able to correct remaining errors later. A new code is formed from the intersection of a convolutional code with a high rate low-density parity-check code. The convolutional code has good early decoding performance and the high rate low-density parity-check code efficiently cleans up remaining errors after receiving the entire block. Simulations of the block code show a gain of 1.5dB over a standard NASA code.

Abstract:
In the communication of multimedia content, certain dependency structure often exists among the source-coded messages by different source coding techniques, where by "dependency" we mean the dependent contributions of the messages to the overall reconstruction quality. Motivated by such notion of dependency, this thesis considers the problem of communicating dependent source-coded messages over compound channels, which include the attractive wireless channels and packet-loss channels. In this thesis we propose a novel framework to model arbitrary dependency structure among source-coded messages from the source-reconstruction perspectives, and formulate the problem of communicating such messages over compound channels as the problem of maximizing the average utility at the receiver. Over discrete memoryless channels (DMC), we derive the expression of maximal achievable utility, which appears to be governed by the channel coding theorem. Over degraded compound channels, we study analytically the maximal achievable utility by superposition codes. To achieve the maximal utility, the encoder chooses the best sub-chain in the utility graph and encodes it using the best superposition code. For the case of two source-coded messages, we show that the maximal utility achieved by superposition codes is the maximum among all coding schemes. Since in practice layered codes (LC) and multiple description codes (MDC) are two most attracted source coding schemes which induce different dependency structures among coded messages, we numerically evaluate the maximal achievable utility for sources coded with those two source coding schemes communicated over DMC and degraded compound channels respectively, and show the impact of communication delay and channel condition on their respective achievable utilities. In addition, for communicating a Gaussian N(0,1) independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) sequence over degraded compound channels, the joint source channel coding schemes are considered and the minimal achievable distortion is derived and compared for different combinations of source and channel codes. It is shown that the combination of LC and superposition codes outperforms other coding schemes. The comparative behaviour among those techniques is further demonstrated by the experimental results. Practically, we study the performances of various coding schemes for communicating two dependent messages over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels, which include conventional channel codes, time sharing codes, and a low-density parity-check (LDPC) based coding scheme, termed Bi-LDPC codes. The success rates and the throughput of the considered coding schemes are compared. For communicating a Gaussian N(0,1) source sequence encoded by LC and MDC respectively over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels, the average distortion is also compared among different channel coding schemes. It appears that Bi-LDPC codes, conventional channel codes encoding both messages, and time sharing type-2 (TS-2) codes, each has their advantage over different region of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), compared with each other.

Abstract:
Synchronization is a problem of fundamental importance for a wide range of practical communication systems including reading media, multi-user optical channels, synchronous digital communication systems, packet-switched communication networks, distributed computing systems, etc. In this thesis I study various aspects of communication over channels with symbol synchronization errors. Symbol synchronization errors are harder to model than erasures or substitution errors caused by additive noise because they introduce uncertainties in timing. Consequently, the capacity of channels subjected to synchronization errors is a very challenging problem, even when considering the simplest channels for which only deletion errors occur. I improve on the best existing lower and upper bounds for the capacity of the deletion channel using convex and stochastic optimization techniques. I also show that simply finding closed-form expressions for the number of subsequences when deleting symbols from a string is computationally prohibitive. Constructing efficient synchronization error-correcting codes is also a challenging task. The main result of the thesis is the design of a new family of codes able to correct several types of synchronization errors. The codes use trellis and modified versions of the Viterbi decoding algorithm, and therefore have very low encoding and decoding complexities. They also have high data rates and work for reasonably noisy channels, which makes them one of the first synchronization-correcting codes that have any chance of being used in practical systems. In the last part of the thesis, I show that a synchronization approach can solve the opportunistic spectrum access problem in cognitive radio, where cognitive users want to communicate in presence of legacy users to whom the bandwidth has been licensed. I also consider the amount of communication required to solve a large class of distributed problems where synchronization errors can occur. More precisely, I study how allowing the parties to solve the problems incorrectly with small probability can reduce the total amount of communication or the number of messages that need to be exchanged.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers the design of new adaptive equalisers for fading digital communication channels. The role of equalisation is discussed in the context of the functions of a digital radio communication system and both conventional and more recent novel equaliser designs are described. The application of recurrent neural networks to the problem of equalisation is developed from a theoretical study of a single node structure to the design of multinode structures. These neural networks are shown to cancel intersymbol interference in a manner mimicking conventional techniques and simulations demonstrate their sensitivity to symbol estimation errors. In addition the error mechanisms of conventional maximum likelihood equalisers operating on rapidly time-varying channels are investigated and highlight the problems of channel estimation using delayed and often incorrect symbol estimates. The relative sensitivity of Bayesian equalisation techniques to errors in the channel estimate is studied and demonstrates that the structure's equalisation capability is also susceptible to such errors. Applications of multiple channel estimator methods are developed, leading to reduced complexity structures which trade performance for a smaller computational load. These novel structures are shown to provide an improvement over the conventional techniques, especially for rapidly time-varying channels, by reducing the time delay in the channel estimation process. Finally, the use of confidence measures of the equaliser's symbol estimates in order to improve channel estimation is studied and isolates the critical areas in the development of the technique — the production of reliable confidence measures by the equalisers and the statistics of symbol estimation error bursts.

Abstract:
The interconnection of molecular machines with different functionalities to form molecular communication systems can increase the number of design possibilities and overcome the limited reliability of the individual molecular machines. Artificial information exchange using molecular signals would also expand the capabilities of single engineered cell populations by providing them a way to cooperate across heterogeneous cell populations for the applications of synthetic biology and lab-on-a-chip systems. The realization of molecular communication systems necessitates analysis and design of the communication channel, where the information carrying molecular signal is transported from the transmitter to the receiver. In this thesis, significant progress towards the use of microfluidic channels to interconnect molecular transmitter and receiver pairs is presented. System-theoretic analysis of the microfluidic channels are performed, and a finite-impulse response filter is designed using microfluidic channels. The spectral density of the propagation noise is studied and the additive white Gaussian noise channel model is developed. Memory due to inter-diffusion of the transmitted molecular signals is also modeled. Furthermore, the interference modeling is performed for multiple transmitters and its impact on the communication capacity is shown. Finally, the efficient sampling of the signal transduction by engineered bacterial receivers connected to a microfluidic channel is investigated for the detection of the pulse-amplitude modulated molecular signals. This work lays the foundation for molecular communication over microfluidic channels that will enable interconnection of engineered molecular machines.

Abstract:

Unauthorized data removal and modification from information systems represents a major and formidable threat in modern computing. Security researchers are engaged in a constant and escalating battle with the writers of malware and other methods of network intrusion to detect and mitigate this threat. Advanced malware behaviors include encryption of communications between the server and infected client machines as well as various strategies for resilience and obfuscation of infrastructure. These techniques evolve to use any and all available mechanisms. As the Internet has grown, DNS has been expanded and has been given security updates. This study analyzed the potential uses of DNSSEC as a covert channel by malware writers and operators. The study found that changing information regarding the Start of Authority (SOA) and resigning the zone can create a covert channel. The study provided a proof of concept for this previously undocumented covert channel that uses DNSSEC.

Full text
Abstract:
Flush communication channels, or F-channels, generalize more conventional asynchronous communication paradigms. A distributed system which uses an F-channel allows a programmer to define the delivery order of each message in relation to other messages transmitted on the channel. Unreliable datagrams and FIFO (first-in-first-out) communication channels have strictly defined delivery semantics. No restrictions are allowed on message delivery order with unreliable datagrams--message delivery is completely unordered. FIFO channels, on the other hand, insist messages are delivered in the order of their transmission. Flush channels can provide either of these delivery order semantics; in addition, F-channels allow the user to define the delivery of a message to be after the delivery of all messages previously transmitted or before the delivery of all messages subsequently transmitted or both. A system which communicates with a flush channel has a message delivery order that is a partial order.;Dynamically specifying a partial message delivery order complicates many aspects of how we implement and reason about the communication channel. From the system's perspective, we develop a feasible implementation protocol and prove its correctness. The protocol effectively handles the partially ordered message delivery. From the user's perspective, we derive an axiomatic verification methodology for flush applications. The added flexibility of defining the delivery order dynamically slightly increases the complexity for the application programmer. Our verification work helps the user effectively deal with the partially ordered message delivery in flush communication.

Abstract:
In the current study, it was aimed to explore young adults&rsquo
communication technology preferences in friendships. With this aim, two survey studies were conducted on university students. In the first study 178 students and in the second study 343 students were surveyed. The findings of both studies demonstrated that (a) face-to-face communication was the most preferred communication,(b) preference for face-to-face communication was positively associated to preference for auditory communication, and negatively associated to preference for written communication, (c) several individual difference variables contributed to relative preferences for face-to-face over mediated communication in negative situations. General &lsquo
ndividual difference variables in relation to Relative Preferences were found to fit into a two-factor higher-order structure. The higher order constructs were Social Openness (the factors tapping to individuals&rsquo
motivation to engage in interpersonal interactions even when those interactions are challenging) and Individuated Functioning (the factors tapping to individuals&rsquo
motivation for personal growth). Relative Preference increased with increases in Social Openness and in Individuated Functioning. Communicaiton-specific individual difference factors underling the associations among Social Openness, Individauted Functioning and Relative Preferences were explored. Results suggested that Social Openness &ndash
but not Individuated Functioning- was indirectly linked to Relative Preferences via Perceived Difficulty of Communication Situations (Study1)
Social Openness was indirectly, and Individuated Functioning was both directly and indirectly linked to Relative Preferences via Difficulty in Handling Negative Situations (Study 2). Theoretical and practical implications of studies were discussed considering the previous literature.

This is an exploratory study looking at the communication channels used in the relationship between rural grocers and rural community members in four Kansas communities. The study is a continuation of research and efforts done by K-State’s Rural Grocery Initiative to help the sustainability of rural grocery stores. This study is looked at through the theoretical lens of uses and gratifications because of the identification of communication channels that satisfy users’ wants and needs. The study is qualitative, using individual interviews to gather data from rural grocers and rural community members. Eight communication channels are identified by the grocers and community members: onsite of grocery store, newspaper (published in a nearby community), mail, radio, website, word-of-mouth, email, and Facebook. The eight communication channels discussed in the study are identified as being beneficial, used, or both by rural grocers and rural community members. The information provided from the study offers suggestions for rural grocers to better reach community members to increase business, and thus increase sustainability in the community.

Abstract:
Free-space optical (FSO) communication systems can provide larger bandwidth and rapid deployment for communication links. Such systems do not interfere with existing radio frequency (RF) systems and can make communication more secure. However, the performance of FSO communication systems is highly dependent on its channel conditions. The atmospheric channels can impose attenuation and scintillation effects on the communication link, and these effects can hinder the correct detection of information on receiver side. In this thesis, we focus on the performance analysis of terrestrial FSO systems over atmospheric fading channels. One successful channel model to fit the experiment data is the lognormal-Rician model, but its widely adoption is impeded by its analytically intractable probability density function (PDF). Therefore we use Padé approximants method to obtain accurate approximations of the PDF, cumulative density function, and moment generating function of lognormal-Rician distribution. Simple closed-form bit-error rate (BER) expression are obtained for binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation with maximum ratio combining (MRC) reception and for binary differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) with selection combing (SC) reception. Asymptotic error rate analysis for BPSK and DPSK is also presented to reveal the performance behavior in large signal-to-noise ratio regimes. The pointing error effects in FSO systems can also contribute to channel impairments. In order to study the influence of pointing error on system performance, we propose a statistical model for pointing error with nonzero boresight error, which takes into account of laser beamwidth, detector aperture size, and jitter variance. A novel closed-form PDF is derived for this pointing error model. Furthermore, we obtain closed-form PDF and series PDF, respectively, for the composite lognormal and Gamma-Gamma turbulence channels with nonzero boresight pointing errors. We conduct error rate analysis of on-off keying signaling with intensity modulation and direct detection over the lognormal and Gamma-Gamma fading channels. The BER results are presented in highly accurate converging series. Asymptotic error rate analysis and outage probability of such a system are also presented based on the derived composite PDFs. It is shown that the boresight error can only affect the coding gain, while the diversity order is determined by either the atmospheric fading effect or the pointing error effect, depending on which effect is more dominant. For subcarrier intensity modulated FSO systems, the carrier phase estimation error (CPE) would degrade the system performance. We study the BER performance of subcarrier M-ary phase-shift keying systems with carrier phase errors (CPE) in lognormal turbulence channels. The CPE is modeled as a Tikhonov random variable. The CPE induced asymptotic noise reference losses for the studied systems are quantified analytically by introducing the lognormal-Nakagami fading as an auxiliary channel model. One effective counter fading technique is spatial diversity, which requires multiple apertures at transmitter or receiver side. We first conduct a diversity analysis on single-branch FSO systems over atmospheric fading channels. We find that the diversity order of an FSO system is usually determined by small scale effects in its fading channels when the irradiance fluctuation can be modeled as a modulation process (K, lognormal-Rician, Gamma-Gamma and M distribution). Based on this observation and the fact that lognormal channel does not have valid diversity order, we propose a lognormal-Nakagami model to facilitate asymptotic analysis on lognormal channels. Using such an approach, we study different multi-branch FSO systems over correlated lognormal fading channels that may have nonidentical variance. We discover that the correlation among the lognormal channels can impose large signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) penalty to system bit-error rate performance, compared to that of a similar system with independent lognormal channels. This property is not shared with the other commonly used fading channels. In addition, we also derive a compact expression for the asymptotic relative diversity order (ARDO) between an L-branch combining system over correlated lognormal channels and a single-branch system. It is found that the ARDO is related to the number of diversity branches as well as entry-wise norm of the covariance matrix of the logarithm of the lognormal channel states. While maximal ratio combing (MRC), equal gain combining (EGC) and selection combining (SC) result in the same ARDO, we find that the coding gain difference between MRC and EGC is negligible, but SC suffers a 10log(L) dB loss.

Abstract:
Internal communication is pivotal for the effectiveness of company procedures and ultimately the success of the company. Understanding more about the communicative needs of different employee groups is therefore important in order to convey a message in a satisfying manner to those employees. This explorative study is investigating communication preferences from a stakeholder perspective to find out what influences the appropriateness of using different communication channels when transmitting information to different stakeholder groups. Interviews with employees at different levels and functions at PostNord were conducted and analysed. We conclude that the top level stakeholder prefers face-to-face communication due to complex topics being discussed with a high need for feedback. The stakeholder at the middle organisational level preferred e-mail due to being constantly interrupted and therefore need to access information at later times. The bottom level consisted of two stakeholder groups that had high degree, respectively low degree of customer interaction. They both preferred face-to-face, for reasons that had grounds in strict working schedules and work tasks - they were not given time to take in information properly in any other way than scheduled meetings, and the stakeholder with low customer interaction mostly worked alone which made this stakeholder value meetings with other colleagues.

Abstract:
Crucial to human interaction and development, emotions have long fascinated psychologists. Current thinking suggests that specific emotions, regardless of the channel in which they are communicated, are processed by separable neural mechanisms. Yet much research has focused only on the interpretation of facial expressions of emotion. The present research addressed this oversight by exploring recognition of emotion from facial, vocal, and gestural tasks. Happiness and disgust were best conveyed by the face, yet other emotions were equally well communicated by voices and gestures. A novel method for exploring emotion perception, by contrasting errors, is proposed. Studies often fail to consider whether the status of the perceiver affects emotion recognition abilities. Experiments presented here revealed an impact of mood, sex, and age of participants. Dysphoric mood was associated with difficulty in interpreting disgust from vocal and gestural channels. To some extent, this supports the concept that neural regions are specialised for the perception of disgust. Older participants showed decreased emotion recognition accuracy but no specific pattern of recognition difficulty. Sex of participant and of actor affected emotion recognition from voices. In order to examine neural mechanisms underlying emotion recognition, an exploration was undertaken using emotion tasks with Parkinson's patients. Patients showed no clear pattern of recognition impairment across channels of communication. In this study, the exclusion of surprise as a stimulus and response option in a facial emotion recognition task yielded results contrary to those achieved without this modification. Implications for this are discussed. Finally, this thesis gives rise to three caveats for neuropsychological research. First, the impact of the observers' status, in terms of mood, age, and sex, should not be neglected. Second, exploring multiple channels of communication is important for understanding emotion perception. Third, task design should be appraised before conclusions regarding impairments in emotion perception are presumed.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to provide a guideline for selection of communication channels during organisational change. The study was conducted across industries in South Africa, with inclusion criteria being the experience of a form organisational in the past three years. The questionnaire for data collection was based on rich media theory (six channels) while for communication satisfaction an instrument of Downs and Hazen (1977) was adapted and utilized. Data was collected online with social media platform such as LinkedIn and Whatsup used for snowball sample as population was unknown. A total of 162 response were obtained, of which ten were excluded as they did not meet the inclusion criteria of experience of organizational change. There were four main findings of the study. First, Emails was the most dominant forms of communication the management which is media poor media. This communication channel by management were similar to employee preference of communication channels. Second, Of the six constructs, superior communication, communication climate, media quality personal feedback, co-worker communication and corporate information. Five of the six variable were found to have both convergent, discriminant validity and reliable using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Four of the five constructs were found to statistically different from the hypothesis value of Ô3Õindicating that there was high customer satisfaction except for communication climate where participants were undecided. Third, On the media rich, face to face meeting and video conferencing were positively correlated with communication satisfaction with weak to medium strength relationships, while on the media poor showing a weak relationship between emails and posters with some dimensions of communication satisfaction. It can be concluded that the organisations do not use media rich communication channels, but rather a mixture media rich and media poor and there is a relationship between communication channels and communication satisfaction, with media rich channels having a stronger relationship. These findings should be considered with the context of inadequate generalisability due to the use of snowball sampling technique. It is recommended that practitioners, select communication channels with caution to ensure that key issues (uncertainty, successful transfer of information) are addressed adequately For academic community, more research is required as communication channels evolve with technology to ensure that the portfolio of channels used during organisational change.

Abstract:
Although international business-to-business marketing is pervasive, little systematic empirical work has been conducted on face-to-face interactions between channel members from different cultures. Greater knowledge regarding cross-cultural communication strategies (e.g. verbal and non-verbal language choices) and behavioral adaptations (e.g. rapport building, increased flexibility with timing, and contractual format) will enhance the strength, efficiency and longevity of relationships between channel partners from distinct cultures. More importantly, a lack of this knowledge seriously jeopardizes cross-cultural understanding and the ability to develop and maintain intercultural exchange relationships. This dissertation presents an empirically derived conceptual framework of cross-cultural communication and behavioral processes. This framework is drawn from extensive ethnographic fieldwork in two intercultural channels of distribution and from academic literature. Acculturation moderates the influence that culture of the producer and the power situation have on the choice of communication strategies and behaviors in interactions between intercultural channel partners. The more the choice of communication strategies and behavioral adaptations is consistent with cultural traditions of the channel members, the higher the levels of trust engendered through the relationship. Hence, trust was expected to be a critical predictor of satisfaction and performance. This was consistent in the interview data, but not in the observation data. The conceptual framework is tested using survey research in the same industries. Power and acculturation were found to have limited effects on the choice of communication strategies. Trust was shown to play a very limited role as a mediating variable. However, significant correlations between the communication strategies and behavioral adaptations and the business outcome variables were revealed. In the conclusion, implications for marketing managers are discussed, limitations of this research are outlined, and future research ideas are proposed.

Studien behandlar publicering av informationsgrafik i de mediala kanalerna tryck och webb, med fokus på de problem och begränsningar som där kan uppstå. Utgångspunkten är intervjuer med skapare av grafik, granskning av publicerad grafik i de olika formaten samt återkoppling till tidigare forskning och teorier. Två tidningar, en rikstäckande och en lokal, är representerade i studien. Skillnader dem emellan är framförallt deras förhållningssätt till webbplattformen som medie. Den rikstäckande tidningen satsar mer på publicering i webbkanalen än lokaltidningen. De påverkande faktorer som spelar in, enligt intervjuer med grafikerna, är av författaren kategoriserade som: strategi, teknik, resurser samt läsarens påverkan. Granskningen av den publicerade grafiken visar att båda tidningarna publicerar mer grafik i sin tryckta version än på webben. Storleksmässigt bred tryckt grafik kräver omarbetning för att passa in på respektive webbplats.
The study deals with the publication of information graphics in the media channels print and web, with a focus on the problems and constraints which may arise. The starting point is interviewing the creators of informations graphics, review of published graphics in different formats and feedback to previous research and theories. Two newspapers are represented in the study, a national and a local newspaper. Differences between them are especially in their approach to Web platform media. The nationwide newspaper focusing more on publishing in the Web channel than the local newspaper. The influencing factors at play, according to interviews with graphics creators, is by the author categorized as: strategy, technology, resources, and the readers influence. The review of the published graphics shows that both of the newspapers publish more graphics in their printed version than on their web. In terms of size wide graphics require reworking to fit in the web format.

Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is to find the channel capacity in optical fiber communication systems when incoherent detection is used with single (polarization filtering) and two-polarizations (no polarization filtering). Optical fiber systems employ photodetectors that convert optical intensity to electrical current. Bandpass vector fields may be represented by four orthogonal baseband components corresponding to two quadrature phases and two orthogonal polarizations. Intensity is proportional to the sum of the squares of these four components. In the case of a coherent receiver, a strong optical local oscillator (in phase and with same polarization as the signal) is added to the signal prior to the photodetector. This results in the removal of the quadrature phase and polarization components, and reduces to the one degree of freedom (DOF) case of signal plus local oscillator shot noise for which the Shannon channel capacity formula applies. Electrical noise following the photodetector may also be neglected if there is an optical amplifier before the photodetector in the receiver. The amplifier introduces amplified spontaneous emission noise containing both quadrature phase components and both polarizations (4 DOFs), but the 2 DOF case would result if a polarization filter were used. Although the 1 and 2 DOF cases are of less practical interest than the 4 DOF case, they provide useful benchmarks for comparing performance limits. We evaluate both spectral efficiency limits (bps/Hz) in the limit of high and low SNR for the 1,2 and 4 DOF cases and also find the power efficiency (minimum number of photons per bit) for each of these cases. It is shown that for high SNR the spectral efficiency is the same independent of the number of DOFs and that the half-Gaussian distribution is the optimum distribution. We are able to thus obtain a compact equation for spectral efficiency which behaves in a similar way to the Shannon capacity formula but with the SNR scaled by a constant. We also show that for low SNR the half-Gaussian distribution is not the optimum distribution as the slope of the mutual information changes with the square of SNR which would lead to the number of photons per bit becoming infinite in the limit of SNR going to zero. We use a modified half-Gaussian distribution which has a discrete component (an impulse function at the origin) and provide a simple proof that this distribution results in a mutual information that goes to zero linearly with SNR resulting in a minimum number of photons per bit. Furthermore, by increasing the magnitude of the discrete component at the origin, it is shown that the minimum number of photons per bit for the incoherent channel approaches that of the coherent channel.

Abstract:
The global population can, based on income per capita be divided into three socioeconomic segments of a pyramid where the bottom segment is labeled: base/bottom of the pyramid (BOP). The BOP market has a collective buying power estimated to five trillion dollar per year. The BOP-segment may seem lucrative but it is however risky and challenging to enter a market characterized by poverty. One of the risks that are pointed out in research is minimal local marketing expertise. A key to succeed in a BOP-market is finding innovative ways of building awareness for a product. Earlier research have pointed at local partners as important for creating that awareness. This study aimed to find how companies have enabled and used non-traditional partners as a communication channel. The findings of the study indicate that companies have used enabling efforts and that CSR approaches and NGO partnerships had been important for enabling the communication channel as well as important for delivering a trustworthy message for all investigated cases
