In this paper, we first introduce the concept of elementary linear subspace, which has similar properties to those of a set of coordinates. Using this new concept, we derive properties of maximum rank distance (MRD) codes that parallel…

Algorithms based on multiple decoding attempts of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes have recently attracted new attention. Choosing decoding candidates based on rate-distortion (R-D) theory, as proposed previously by the authors, currently provides…
The Quantum Reverse Shannon Theorem has been a milestone in quantum information theory. It states that asymptotically reliable simulation of a quantum channel, assisted by unlimited shared entanglement, requires a rate of classical…
We give new bounds on the reliability function of a typewriter channel with 5 inputs and crossover probability $1/2$. The lower bound is more of theoretical than practical importance; it improves very marginally the expurgated bound,…
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…
The channel reliability function is an important tool that characterizes the reliable transmission of messages over communication channels. For many channels, only upper and lower bounds of the function are known. We analyze the…
This paper studies the third-order characteristic of nonsingular discrete memoryless channels and the Gaussian channel with a maximal-power constraint. The third-order term in our expansions employs a new quantity here called the channel…
This paper re-examines the well-known fundamental tradeoffs between rate and reliability for the multi-antenna, block Rayleigh fading channel in the high signal to noise ratio (SNR) regime when (i) the transmitter has access to (noiseless)…
For the information transmission a binary symmetric channel is used. There is also another noisy binary symmetric channel (feedback channel), and the transmitter observes without delay all the outputs of the forward channel via that…
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…
We propose an achievable rate-region for the two-way multiple-relay channel using decode-and-forward block Markovian coding. We identify a conflict between the information flow in both directions. This conflict leads to an intractable…
We consider a problem of statistical mean estimation in which the samples are not observed directly, but are instead observed by a relay (``teacher'') that transmits information through a memoryless channel to the decoder (``student''), who…
This paper studies the problem of secure communcation over the two-receiver discrete memoryless broadcast channel with one-sided receiver side information and with a passive eavesdropper. We proposed a coding scheme which is based upon the…
Lossy transmission over a relay channel in which the relay has access to correlated side information is considered. First, a joint source-channel decode-and-forward scheme is proposed for general discrete memoryless sources and channels.…
We consider error decoding of locally repairable codes (LRC) and partial MDS (PMDS) codes through interleaved decoding. For a specific class of LRCs we investigate the success probability of interleaved decoding. For PMDS codes we show that…
Locally decodable channel codes form a special class of error-correcting codes with the property that the decoder is able to reconstruct any bit of the input message from querying only a few bits of a noisy codeword. It is well known that…
The input-constrained binary erasure channel (BEC) with strictly causal feedback is studied. The channel input sequence must satisfy the $(0,k)$-runlength limited (RLL) constraint, i.e., no more than $k$ consecutive `$0$'s are allowed. The…
We introduce and analyze a discrete soft-decision channel called the linear reliability channel (LRC) in which the soft information is the rank ordering of the received symbol reliabilities. We prove that the LRC is an appropriate…
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…
