Abstract

Deterministic identification offers an efficient solution for scenarios where decoding entire messages is unnecessary. It is commonly used in alarm systems and control systems. A key advantage of this approach is that the capacity for deterministic identification in Gaussian channels with power constraints grows superexponentially, unlike Shannon's transmission capacity. This allows for a significantly higher number of messages to be transmitted using this event-driven method. So far, only upper and lower bounds for deterministic identification capacity have been established. Our work introduces a novel construction: galaxy codes for deterministic identification. Using these codes, we demonstrate an improvement in the achievability bound of 1/4 to 3/8, representing a previously unknown advance that opens new possibilities for efficient communication.
