The main research themes of Dr. Paolini include error correcting
coding techniques and passive localization systems. In the field of
channel coding, the research activity includes:
-
Design of efficiently encodabe LDPC codes;
-
Asymptotic analysis of doubly-generalized LDPC
codes (performance, stability, weight distribution);
-
Construction and performance evaluation of
finite-length doubly-generalized LDPC codes;
-
Design and analysis of capacity approaching LDPC code degree
distributions;
-
Design of burst erasure correcting LDPC codes;
-
Efficient algorithms for maximum likelihood decoding of LDPC
codes.
In the field of passive localization, the research activity
includes:
-
Analysis of system aspects for radar sensor
networks based on the UWB technology (geometry, power,
coverage, localization accuracy);
-
Development of tracking algorithm (based on a Bayesian
approach) for radar sensor networks based on the UWB
technology.
