From the Editor-in-Chief
Dear Chapter Members,
This issue introduces some state-of-the-arts on spatially coupled LDPC codes, in particular, its coded modulation and decoding. Integrated with BICM for transmission, the iterative BICM-ID enhances performance of spatially coupled LDPC coded modulation systems. Meanwhile, deep learning technique is utilized to enhance performance of the Min-Sum decoding algorithm. On June 11, IEEE Information Theory Society announced that Guangzhou Chapter received Chapter-of-the-Year Award. This is the first time the Award is given to a mainland China Chapter over its 20 years history. We are delighted, and also encouraged. Guangzhou Chapter will continue to endeavor with its spirit of Promote Exchanges and Serve the Community.
