Abstract

Temperature control is of utmost importance in transmission systems. In this paper, a binary channel model is considered in which the transmission of a one causes a temperature increase while communicating a zero causes a temperature drop. By putting constraints on the input sequences, it is guaranteed that the channel temperature will not exceed a certain pre-determined maximum. In the asymptotic regime, the capacity of such a channel is studied. For the non-asymptotic regime, fixed-length codes are presented, with the property that codewords can be freely cascaded without violating the temperature constraint. Optimization of the code size is investigated and codewords are enumerated using generating functions.
