This paper considers a binary channel with deletions. We derive two close form upper bound on the capacity of binary deletion channel. The first upper bound is based on computing the capacity of an auxiliary channel and we show how the…
We develop a systematic approach, based on convex programming and real analysis, for obtaining upper bounds on the capacity of the binary deletion channel and, more generally, channels with i.i.d. insertions and deletions. Other than the…
We present novel bounds on the capacity of the independent and identically distributed binary deletion channel. Four upper bounds are obtained by providing the transmitter and the receiver with genie-aided information on suitably-defined…
Memoryless channels with deletion errors as defined by a stochastic channel matrix allowing for bit drop outs are considered in which transmitted bits are either independently deleted with probability $d$ or unchanged with probability…
Let $C(d)$ be the capacity of the binary deletion channel with deletion probability $d$. It was proved by Drinea and Mitzenmacher that, for all $d$, $C(d)/(1-d)\geq 0.1185 $. Fertonani and Duman recently showed that $\limsup_{d\to…
We consider binary input deletion/substitution channels, which model certain types of synchronization errors encountered in practice. Specifically, we focus on the regime of small deletion and substitution probabilities, and by extending an…

The upper bound on the capacity of a 3-node discrete memoryless relay channel is considered, where a source X wants to send information to destination Y with the help of a relay Z. Y and Z are independent given X, and the link from Z to Y…
We present an optimized implementation of the Blahut-Arimoto algorithm via GPU parallelization, which we use to obtain improved upper bounds on the capacity of the binary deletion channel. In particular, our results imply that the capacity…
The paper considers the input-constrained binary erasure channel (BEC) with causal, noiseless feedback. The channel input sequence respects the $(d,\infty)$-runlength limited (RLL) constraint, i.e., any pair of successive $1$s must be…
We analyze the quantum capacity of a unital quantum channel, using ideas from the proof of near-optimality of Petz recovery map [Barnum and Knill 2000] and give an upper bound on the quantum capacity in terms of regularized output $2$-norm…
Memoryless channels with synchronization errors as defined by a stochastic channel matrix allowing for symbol insertions and deletions in addition to random errors are considered. Such channels are information stable, hence their Shannon…
This paper considers a binary channel with deletions and insertions, where each input bit is transformed in one of the following ways: it is deleted with probability d, or an extra bit is added after it with probability i, or it is…
The {\em binary deletion channel} with deletion probability $d$ ($\text{BDC}_d$) is a random channel that deletes each bit of the input message i.i.d with probability $d$. It has been studied extensively as a canonical example of a channel…
We develop upper bounds on code size for an independent and identically distributed deletion and insertion channels for a given code length and target frame error probability. The bounds are obtained as a variation of a general converse…

We consider the problem of estimating an upper bound on the capacity of a memoryless channel with unknown channel law and continuous output alphabet. A novel data-driven algorithm is proposed that exploits the dual representation of…
The deletion channel is the simplest point-to-point communication channel that models lack of synchronization. Input bits are deleted independently with probability d, and when they are not deleted, they are not affected by the channel.…
