Lower Bounds on the Sub-Packetization of Optimal-Access MSR Codes for Multiple-Node Repair

Information Theory 2025-01-23 v1 math.IT

Abstract

We establish lower bounds on the sub-packetization of optimal-access MSR codes in the context of multiple-node failures. These bounds generalize the tight bounds for single-node failure presented by Balaji et al. (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, vol. 68, no. 10, 2022). Moreover, we utilize generating functions to provide a more refined analysis, further strengthening these bounds.
