Polar codes are introduced for discrete memoryless broadcast channels. For $m$-user deterministic broadcast channels, polarization is applied to map uniformly random message bits from $m$ independent messages to one codeword while…

Polar codes provably achieve the capacity of a wide array of channels under successive decoding. This assumes infinite precision arithmetic. Given the successive nature of the decoding algorithm, one might worry about the sensitivity of the…

We study variable-length feedback (VLF) codes over binary-input memoryless symmetric (BMS) channels using posterior matching with small-enough-difference (SED) partitioning. Prior analyses of SED-based schemes rely on bounded log-likelihood…

For the discrete memoryless sources with a countably infinite alphabet, we prove that for any positive integer $k$, there exists a corresponding probability interval such that if the largest symbol probability $p_{1}$ falls in this…

We study the capacity region $C_L$ of an arbitrarily varying multiple-access channel (AVMAC) for deterministic codes with decoding into a list of a fixed size $L$ and for the average error probability criterion. Motivated by known results…

We study error bounds for linear programming decoding of regular LDPC codes. For memoryless binary-input output-symmetric channels, we prove bounds on the word error probability that are inverse doubly-exponential in the girth of the factor…

This paper shows that the probability that the error exponent of a given code randomly generated from a pairwise independent ensemble being smaller than a lower bound on the typical random-coding exponent tends to zero as the codeword…

In the random deletion channel, each bit is deleted independently with probability $p$. For the random deletion channel, the existence of codes of rate $(1-p)/9$, and thus bounded away from $0$ for any $p < 1$, has been known. We give an…

Shaping codes are used to generate code sequences in which the symbols obey a prescribed probability distribution. They arise naturally in the context of source coding for noiseless channels with unequal symbol costs. Recently, shaping…

This paper analyzes the effect of adding a pre-decoder processing function to a receiver that contains a fixed mismatched decoder at the output of a discrete memoryless channel. We study properties of the symbolwise pre-processing function…
