Abstract
In the random deletion channel, each bit is deleted independently with probability . For the random deletion channel, the existence of codes of rate , and thus bounded away from for any , has been known. We give an explicit construction with polynomial time encoding and deletion correction algorithms with rate for an absolute constant .
