Fractional repetition (FR) codes is a family of codes for distributed storage systems that allow for uncoded exact repairs having the minimum repair bandwidth. However, in contrast to minimum bandwidth regenerating (MBR) codes, where a…

A novel technique for construction of minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes is presented. Based on this technique, three explicit constructions of MSR codes are given. The first two constructions provide access-optimal MSR codes, with…
An $(n, k, d, \alpha)$-MSR (minimum storage regeneration) code is a set of $n$ nodes used to store a file. For a file of total size $k\alpha$, each node stores $\alpha$ symbols, any $k$ nodes recover the file, and any $d$ nodes can repair…
For an $(n,k,\ell)$ MDS array code over $\mathbb{F}_q$, how small can the repair bandwidth and repair I/O be under linear exact repair? We study this question in the regime where the field size $q$, the redundancy $r=n-k$, and the…

Cooperative regenerating codes are regenerating codes designed to tradeoff storage for repair bandwidth in case of multiple node failures. Minimum storage cooperative regenerating (MSCR) codes are a class of cooperative regenerating codes…
An $(n,k,d)$ cooperative regenerating code provides the optimal-bandwidth repair for any $t~(t\!>\!1)$ node failures in a cooperative way. In particular, an MSCR (minimum storage cooperative regenerating) code retains the same storage…
The explosion in the volumes of data being stored online has resulted in distributed storage systems transitioning to erasure coding based schemes. Local Reconstruction Codes (LRCs) have emerged as the codes of choice for these…
We consider the rack-aware storage system where \(n\) nodes are organized in \(\bar{n}\) racks each containing \(u\) nodes, and any \(k\) nodes can retrieve the stored file. Moreover, any single node erasure can be recovered by downloading…
In an $(n,k,d)$ rack-aware storage model, the system consists of $n$ nodes uniformly distributed across $\bar{n}$ successive racks, such that each rack contains $u$ nodes of equal capacity and the reconstructive degree satisfies…
We consider the design of regenerating codes for distributed storage systems that enjoy the property of local, exact and uncoded repair, i.e., (a) upon failure, a node can be regenerated by simply downloading packets from the surviving…
An [n, k] linear code C that is subject to locality constraints imposed by a parity check matrix H0 is said to be a maximally recoverable (MR) code if it can recover from any erasure pattern that some k-dimensional subcode of the null space…

Local Reconstruction Codes (LRCs) allow for recovery from a small number of erasures in a local manner based on just a few other codeword symbols. A maximally recoverable (MR) LRC offers the best possible blend of such local and global…
We construct constant-sized ensembles of linear error-correcting codes over any fixed alphabet that can correct a given fraction of adversarial erasures at rates approaching the Singleton bound arbitrarily closely. We provide several…
