We construct a joint coordination-channel polar coding scheme for strong coordination of actions between two agents $\mathsf X$ and $\mathsf Y$, which communicate over a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) such that the joint distribution of…

It has been shown that an extension of the basic binary polar transformation also polarizes over finite fields. With it the direct encoding of q-ary sources and channels is a process that can be implemented with simple and efficient…

The problem of side-information scalable (SI-scalable) source coding is considered in this work, where the encoder constructs a progressive description, such that the receiver with high quality side information will be able to truncate the…

The inherent nature of polar codes being channel specific makes it difficult to use them in a setting where the communication channel changes with time. In particular, to be able to use polar codes in a wireless scenario, varying…

Let (S1,i, S2,i), distributed according to i.i.d p(s1, s2), i = 1, 2, . . . be a memoryless, correlated partial side information sequence. In this work we study channel coding and source coding problems where the partial side information…

A rateless coding scheme transmits incrementally more and more coded bits over an unknown channel until all the information bits are decoded reliably by the receiver. We propose a new rateless coding scheme based on polar codes, and we show…

We show how real-number codes can be used to compress correlated sources and establish a new framework for distributed lossy source coding, in which we quantize compressed sources instead of compressing quantized sources. This change in the…

In 2008 Arikan proposed polar coding [arXiv:0807.3917] which we summarize as follows: (a) From the root channel $W$ synthesize recursively a series of channels $W_N^{(1)},\dotsc,W_N^{(N)}$. (b) Select sophisticatedly a subset $A$ of…

We consider lossy compression of an information source when the decoder has lossless access to a correlated one. This setup, also known as the Wyner-Ziv problem, is a special case of distributed source coding. To this day, practical…

Deep polar codes are pre-transformed polar codes that employ a multi-layered polar kernel transformation strategy to enhance code performance in short blocklength regimes. However, like conventional polar codes, their block length is…

Channel polarization, originally proposed for binary-input channels, is generalized to arbitrary discrete memoryless channels. Specifically, it is shown that when the input alphabet size is a prime number, a similar construction to that for…

Polar codes have attracted much recent attention as the first codes with low computational complexity that provably achieve optimal rate-regions for a large class of information-theoretic problems. One significant drawback, however, is that…

Polar codes provably achieve the capacity of a wide array of channels under successive decoding. This assumes infinite precision arithmetic. Given the successive nature of the decoding algorithm, one might worry about the sensitivity of the…
