Motivated by Xing's method [7], we show that there exist [n,k,d] linear Hermitian codes over F_{q^2} with k+d>=n-3 for all sufficiently large q. This improves the asymptotic bound of Algebraic-Geometry codes from Hermitian curves given in…
This paper presents and analyzes a novel concatenated coding scheme for enabling error resilience in two distributed storage settings: one being storage using existing regenerating codes and the second being storage using locally repairable…
Constructions of optimal locally repairable codes (LRCs) achieving Singleton-type bound have been exhaustively investigated in recent years. In this paper, we consider new bounds and constructions of Singleton-optimal LRCs with minmum…
The theory of error-correcting codes is concerned with constructing codes that optimize simultaneously transmission rate and relative minimum distance. These conflicting requirements determine an asymptotic bound, which is a continuous…
We consider multiple description coding for the Gaussian source with K descriptions under the symmetric mean squared error distortion constraints, and provide an approximate characterization of the rate region. We show that the rate region…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) have gained significant interest for the design of large distributed storage systems as they allow a small number of erased nodes to be recovered by accessing only a few others. Several works have thus been…
Data inconsistency evaluating and repairing are major concerns in data quality management. As the basic computing task, optimal subset repair is not only applied for cost estimation during the progress of database repairing, but also…
In this paper, codes with locality for four erasures are considered. An upper bound on the rate of codes with locality with sequential recovery from four erasures is derived. The rate bound derived here is field independent. An optimal…
When a node in a distributed storage system fails, it needs to be promptly repaired to maintain system integrity. While typical erasure codes can provide a significant storage advantage over replication, they suffer from poor repair…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are widely used in distributed storage systems as they provide optimal fault tolerance for a given amount of storage overhead. The seminal work of Dimakis~\emph{et al.} first established a lower bound…
The issue of repairing Reed-Solomon codes currently employed in industry has been sporadically discussed in the literature. In this work we carry out a systematic study of these codes and investigate important aspects of repairing them…
Locally repairable codes(LRCs) play important roles in distributed storage systems(DSS). LRCs with small locality have their own advantages since fewer available symbols are needed in the recovery of erased symbols. In this paper, we prove…
In this paper, we consider the convertible code with locally repairable property. We present an improved lower bound on access cost associated with $(r,\delta)$. Then, we provide a general construction of convertible codes with optimal…
In this work, we study linear error-correcting codes against adversarial insertion-deletion (insdel) errors, a topic that has recently gained a lot of attention. We construct linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$, for…
This work continues the study of linear error correcting codes against adversarial insertion deletion errors (insdel errors). Previously, the work of Cheng, Guruswami, Haeupler, and Li \cite{CGHL21} showed the existence of asymptotically…
Codes for storage systems aim to minimize the repair locality, which is the number of disks (or nodes) that participate in the repair of a single failed disk. Simultaneously, the code must sustain a high rate, operate on a small finite…
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…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) have recently been widely used in distributed storage systems and the LRCs with $(r,\delta)$-locality ($(r,\delta)$-LRCs) attracted a lot of interest for tolerating multiple erasures. Ge et al. constructed…
In 2007, Martinian and Trott presented codes for correcting a burst of erasures with a minimum decoding delay. Their construction employs [n,k] codes that can correct any burst of erasures (including wrap-around bursts) of length n-k. The…
We derive an upper bound on the reliability function of mismatched decoding for zero-rate codes. The bound is based on a result by Koml\'os that shows the existence of a subcode with certain symmetry properties. The bound is shown to…
