Conflict-avoiding codes (CACs) have been used in multiple-access collision channel without feedback. The size of a CAC is the number of potential users that can be supported in the system. A code with maximum size is called optimal. The use…
Strongly conflict-avoiding codes (SCACs) are employed in a slot-asynchronous multiple-access collision channel without feedback to guarantee that each active user can send at least one packet successfully in the worst case within a fixed…
The problem to construct optimal conflict-avoiding codes of even lengths and the Hamming weight $3$ is completely settled. On the contrary, it is still open for odd lengths. It turns out that the prime lengths are the fundamental cases…
A conflict-avoiding code (CAC) is a deterministic transmission scheme for asynchronous multiple access without feedback. When the number of simultaneously active users is less than or equal to $w$, a CAC of length $L$ with weight $w$ can…
A conflict-avoiding code (CAC) of length L and weight w is used for deterministic multiple-access without feedback. When the number of simultaneous active users is less than or equal to w, such a code is able to provide a hard guarantee…
Conflict-avoiding codes (CACs) were introduced by Levenshtein as a single-channel transmission scheme for a multiple-access collision channel without feedback. When the number of simultaneously active source nodes is less than or equal to…
A constant weight binary code consists of $n$-bit binary codewords, each with exactly $w$ bits equal to 1, such that any two codewords are at least Hamming distance $d$ apart. $A(n,d,w)$ is the maximum size of a constant weight binary code…
An equi-differece conflict-avoiding code $(CAC^{e})\ \mathcal{C}$ of length $n$ and weight $\omega$ is a collection of $\omega$-subsets (called codewords) which has the form $\{0,i,2i,\cdots,(\omega-1)i\}$ of $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$ such that…
Upper bounds on the maximum number of codewords in a binary code of a given length and minimum Hamming distance are considered. New bounds are derived by a combination of linear programming and counting arguments. Some of these bounds…
The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
This paper focuses on constructions for optimal $2$-D $(n\times m,3,2,1)$-optical orthogonal codes with $m\equiv 0\ ({\rm mod}\ 4)$. An upper bound on the size of such codes is established. It relies heavily on the size of optimal…
Separating codes have their applications in collusion-secure fingerprinting for generic digital data, while they are also related to the other structures including hash family, intersection code and group testing. In this paper we study…
We study the construction of optimal conflict-avoiding codes (CAC) from a number theoretical point of view. The determination of the size of optimal CAC of prime length $p$ and weight 3 is formulated in terms of the solvability of certain…
A covering code is a set of codewords with the property that the union of balls, suitably defined, around these codewords covers an entire space. Generally, the goal is to find the covering code with the minimum size codebook. While most…
Let $A(n,d)$ (respectively $A(n,d,w)$) be the maximum possible number of codewords in a binary code (respectively binary constant-weight $w$ code) of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance at least $d$. By adding new linear constraints to…

A combinatorial framework for adversarial network coding is presented. Channels are described by specifying the possible actions that one or more (possibly coordinated) adversaries may take. Upper bounds on three notions of capacity (the…
The construction of asymmetric error correcting codes is a topic that was studied extensively, however, the existing approach for code construction assumes that every codeword should tolerate $t$ asymmetric errors. Our main observation is…
As a crucial technique for integrated circuits (IC) test response compaction, $X$-compact employs a special kind of codes called $X$-codes for reliable compressions of the test response in the presence of unknown logic values ($X$s). From a…
Recent developments in storage -- especially in the area of resistive random access memory (ReRAM) -- are attempting to scale the storage density by regarding the information data as two-dimensional (2D), instead of one-dimensional (1D).…
