Low error floor LT coding algorithm for unequal error protection by Xin SONG, Shuyan NI, Zhe ZHANG, Yurong LIAO, Tuofeng LEI

“…If 10^-6is considered as the BER standard, the overhead saved by this scheme is about 7% of the code length K.However,if 10^-7is further considered as the BER standard,the overhead saved by this scheme is about 15% of the code length K.This means that when the SNR increases,the performance improvement of the proposed scheme is higher than that of the reference scheme. Conclusions: In this paper, a systematic unequal error protection LT coding scheme is designed, and a check degree distribution design model suitable for this scheme is constructed to solve the problem of high error floor existing in the conventional UEP-LT algorithm in the AWGN channel.The main idea of this scheme is to design fixed coding segments,rateless coding segments and systematic node segments and transmit them in sequence.The advantage of this scheme is that it can provide non-zero LLR information as early as possible for information nodes, and make the MIB and the LIB obtain different and flexibly adjustable average degrees.In addition,based on the extrinsic information transfer(EXIT)chart,the check degree distribution is designed for the fixed segment and the rateless segment,so that the MIB can obtain the optimal protection performance,and the convergence performance of the LIB can be improved as much as possible. …”

Epidemiology of Rounding Error by Jimmy T. Efird

“…Performing complex computations on such values, especially when sequential or composite operations are involved, can lead to error propagation and inaccurate results. Having an overall awareness of the nature and impact of rounding error, including preventive actions, can contribute greatly to the integrity of research, yielding more reliable and accurate conclusions. …”

Effect of the Residual Errors on the Dose for Left-Sided Breast Cancer Radiotherapy After Translation Error Correction Based on CBCT by Ya Wang BS, Lu Zeng BS, Pan Gong BS, Denghong Liu BS, Qianqian Meng MS, Konglong Shen BS, Zhihui Liu BS, Renming Zhong PhD

“…Phantom simulations revealed that pitch angles ≤−1.8° and roll/yaw angles >2° caused overdosing in the left lung and heart, with maximum dose differences of 31.89% (heart) and 19.19% (lung) for 4005 cGy, and 26.32% (heart) and 20.92% (PTV sc ) for 5000 cGy. Conclusion Residual errors significantly affect dose distribution despite CBCT-based translational correction. …”
