Abstract Both all-connection model and part connection model is simulated, which adopt
self-organizing map neural network to generate check bits. Consequently, N source bits
and K check bits are composed a complete codeword. In the decoding port, multi-layer
perceptron network (MLPN) is utilized to implement decoding function. The specific steps
are as follows: (1) Constructing the MLPN according to the size of codeword sets and
source bits; (2) Training the MLPN with codeword sets generated by neural network
decoder until qualified; (3) Accepting and decoding codeword sets via trained MLPN.
Actual tests show that: (1) There exist no evident performance differences between all-
connection model and part-connection model; (2) The connection of weight sets is similar
to Tanner graph in part-connection model, which reduce the computational complex
greatly and remain good performance at the same time. In sum, the method of encoding
and decoding has certain market prospect in confidential communication field.

In this article, it is proposed that a Hopfield neural network (HNN) can be used to jointly equalize and decode information transmitted over a highly dispersive Rayleigh fading multipath channel. It is shown that a HNN MLSE equalizer and a HNN MLSE decoder can be merged in order to realize a low complexity joint equalizer and decoder, or turbo equalizer, without additional computational complexity due to the decoder. The computational complexity of the Hopfield neural network turbo equalizer (HNN-TE) is almost quadratic in the coded data block length and approximately independent of the channel memory length, which makes it an attractive choice for systems with extremely long memory. Results show that the performance of the proposed HNN-TE closely matches that of a conventional turbo equalizer in systems with short channel memory, and achieves near-matched filter performance in systems with extremely large memory.

A self-organizing map (SOM) approach for vector quantization (VQ) over wireless channels is presented. We introduce a soft decoding SOM-based robust VQ (RVQ) approach with performance comparable to that of the conventional channel optimized VQ (COVQ) approach. In particular, our SOM approach avoids the time-consuming index assignment process in traditional RVQs and does not require a reliable feedback channel for COVQ-like training. Simulation results show that our approach can offer potential performance gain over the conventional COVQ approach. For data sources with Gaussian distribution, the gain of our approach is demonstrated to be in the range of 1–4 dB. For image data, our approach gives a performance comparable to a sufficiently trained COVQ, and is superior with a similar number of training epoches. To further improve the performance, a SOM–based COVQ approach is also discussed.

An artificial neural network can be applied in decoding traditional code words. However, artificial neural network encoding has rarely been explored. A forward artificial neural network encoder is proposed, which adopts a self-organizing map (SOM) neural network as its main structure. Firstly, we built a forward neural network according to the dimension of source bits and codeword bits. Secondly, we chose a proper distribution of weight sets. Thirdly, we initialize the weight sets using an appropriate algorithm. Finally, we check the uniqueness of the code word sets until a match is found. In the decoding process, a multi-layer perception network (MLPN) is adopted as the neural network decoder. Firstly, we construct the MLPN according to the dimension of source bits and codeword bits. Secondly, we train the MLPN with the codeword sets generated by the forward neural network. Then, we stop the training process until total error is minimum. Finally, we accept and decode code word sets. Actual simulation tests show that both neural network encoding and decoding are feasible. And the better performance is achieved in the condition of proper forward neural network structure and the degree of output node λ. Above all, the codeword sets generated by the neural network encoder cannot be decoded by traditional mathematical methods, which has good prospect for security communication.

It is known that error-correcting output codes (ECOC) is a common way to model multiclass classification problems, in which the research of encoding based on data especially attracts attentions. In this paper, we proposed a method for learning error-correcting output codes with the help of a single layered perception neural network. To achieve this goal, the code elements of ECOC are mapped to the weights of network for the given decoding strategy, and an object function with the constrained weights used as a cost function of network. After the training, we can obtain a coding matrix including lots of subgroups of class. Experimental results on artificial data and UCI with logistic linear classifier (LOGLC) as the binary learner show that our scheme provides better performance of classification with shorter length of coding matrix than other state-of-the-art encoding strategies.

Traditional error correcting decoder is designed according to specific algorithm, which is a reverse course of encoding. In this paper, a novel general neural network decoder is proposed in the form of symmetrical self-organizing map (SSOM), which can achieve decoding function to any error correcting codes. The SSOM decoder is tested by decoding low-density parity-check (LDPC) code. The performance comparison of SSOM decoder and traditional decoder is accomplished by simulation. Actual results show that the SSOM decoder can implement both learning and decoding in the same time regardless of any encoding rules. And higher possibility of the codeword emergence means greater probability of correct error correction. Compare to traditional error correcting decoder, it is easy to construct, more intelligent to different codeword sets, which has certain prospect in future communication channel coding field.

A novel hard decision decoding scheme based on a hybrid intelligent algorithm combining genetic algorithm and neural network, named as genetic neural-network decoding (GND), is proposed. GND offsets the reliability loss caused by channel transmission error and hard decision quantization by making full use of the genetic algorithm's optimization capacity and neural network's pattern classification function to optimize the hard decision outputs of received matched filter and restore a more likelihood codeword as the input of hard decision decoder. As can be seen from the theoretical analysis and computer simulation, GND scheme is close to the traditional soft decision decoding in error correction performance, while its complexity, compared with the traditional soft decision decoding, is greatly reduced because its decoding process does not need to use the channel statistical information.

It is shown that a neural network can be trained to predict the presence of errors in turbo-decoded data. The inputs to the network are samples of the cross entropy of the component decoder outputs at two or more time instants. Such a neural network can be used as a trigger for retransmission requests at either the beginning or at the conclusion of the decoding process, providing improved reliability performance and lower average decoding complexity than turbo decoding with CRC error detection.
