We consider a point-to-point communication system, where in addition to the encoder and the decoder, there is a helper that observes non-causally the realization of the noise vector and provides a (lossy) rate-$R_{\mbox{\tiny h}}$…

We derive a single-letter upper bound to the mismatched-decoding capacity for discrete memoryless channels. The bound is expressed as the mutual information of a transformation of the channel, such that a maximum-likelihood decoding error…

We prove that for any additive noise channel over $\mathbb{F}_q$, there exist error-correcting codes approaching channel capacity encodable by arithmetic circuits (with weighted addition gates) over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size $O(n)$ and depth…

Tradeoffs between the information rate and fidelity of quantum error-correcting codes are discussed. Quantum channels to be considered are those subject to independent errors and modeled as tensor products of copies of a general completely…

For the additive white Gaussian noise channel with average codeword power constraint, sparse superposition codes are developed. These codes are based on the statistical high-dimensional regression framework. The paper [IEEE Trans. Inform.…

Capacity formulas and random-coding exponents are derived for a generalized family of Gel'fand-Pinsker coding problems. These exponents yield asymptotic upper bounds on the achievable log probability of error. In our model, information is…

In this paper, we prove the existence of capacity achieving linear codes with random binary sparse generating matrices. The results on the existence of capacity achieving linear codes in the literature are limited to the random binary codes…

We investigate weakly constrained codes, in which specific patterns occur with prescribed frequencies rather than being strictly forbidden as in conventional constrained coding. We propose a capacity-achieving construction of a weakly…

We present error-correcting codes that achieve the information-theoretically best possible trade-off between the rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, for every $0 < R < 1$ and $\eps> 0$, we present an explicit construction of…

We consider binary error correcting codes when errors are deletions. A basic challenge concerning deletion codes is determining $p_0^{(adv)}$, the zero-rate threshold of adversarial deletions, defined to be the supremum of all $p$ for which…

A rateless code encodes a finite length information word into an infinitely long codeword such that longer prefixes of the codeword can tolerate a larger fraction of errors. A rateless code achieves capacity for a family of channels if, for…

A locally repairable code with availability has the property that every code symbol can be recovered from multiple, disjoint subsets of other symbols of small size. In particular, a code symbol is said to have $(r,t)$-availability if it can…

Classical coded caching setting avails each user to have one dedicated cache. This is generalized to a more general shared cache scheme and the exact expression for the worst case rate was derived in [E. Parrinello, A. Unsal, P. Elia,…

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…

Zero-error coding encompasses a variety of source and channel problems where the probability of error must be exactly zero. This condition is stricter than that of the vanishing error regime, where the error probability goes to zero as the…
