We consider a two-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple access wiretap channel with $N$ antennas at each transmitter, $N$ antennas at the legitimate receiver, and $K$ antennas at the eavesdropper. We determine the optimal sum…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes have the optimal trade-off between storage efficiency and fault tolerance, which are widely used in distributed storage systems. As typical non-MDS codes, simple regenerating codes (SRCs) can achieve…
Regenerating codes for distributed storage have attracted much research interest in the past decade. Such codes trade the bandwidth needed to repair a failed node with the overall amount of data stored in the network. Minimum storage…
Abundant high-rate (n, k) minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes have been reported in the literature. However, most of them require contacting all the surviving nodes during a node repair process, resulting in a repair degree of d=n-1.…
MDS array codes are widely used in storage systems to protect data against erasures. We address the \emph{rebuilding ratio} problem, namely, in the case of erasures, what is the the fraction of the remaining information that needs to be…
Motivated by communication channels in which the transmitted sequences are subject to random permutations, as well as by certain DNA storage systems, we study the error control problem in settings where the information is stored/transmitted…
When there are multiple node failures in a distributed storage system, regenerating the failed storage nodes individually in a one-by-one manner is suboptimal as far as repair-bandwidth minimization is concerned. If data exchange among the…
