Acoustic data communication for industrial drilling applications by Goh, Cher Shin.

“…Project B5035-121, Acoustic Data Communication for Industrial Drilling Applications, looks at the possible ways of incorporating the multilevel modulation of Amplitude Shift Keying-Frequency Shift Keying (ASK-FSK) into the transceiver architecture of an acoustic telemetry system, such that the architecture embodies balance of good traits, such as high data transmission rates and good bit error rate (BER) performance. This is due to the greater need for communication systems of industrial drilling applications to have a higher throughput. …”

Iterative decoding of cyclic codes based on FFT sliding correlator by Mohammad Ridwan Septadi.

“…We successfully designed the soft-in-hard-out ML-decoding of cyclic code based on sliding correlator. BER performance results indicate that our decoder performs well as it meets the theoretical expectation by having performance curves which are slightly better than the theoretical upper bound by 0.3-0.4dB for various BCH codes. …”
