We consider a simple network, where a source and destination node are connected with a line of erasure channels. It is well known that in order to achieve the min-cut capacity, the intermediate nodes are required to process the information.…

We focus on designing error-correcting codes for the symmetric Gaussian broadcast channel with feedback. Feedback not only expands the capacity region of the broadcast channel but also enhances transmission reliability. In this work, we…

In this work, we consider efficient maximum-likelihood decoding of linear block codes for small-to-moderate block lengths. The presented approach is a branch-and-bound algorithm using the cutting-plane approach of Zhang and Siegel (IEEE…

This paper proposes a new coded modulation scheme for reliable transmission of short data packets at very low signal-to-noise ratio, combining cyclic code shift keying modulation and non-binary polar coding. We consider non-binary polar…

We consider linear codes over a field in which the error values are restricted to a subgroup of its unit group. This scenario captures Lee distance codes as well as codes over the Gaussian or Eisenstein integers. Codes correcting restricted…

The fundamental performance limits of space-time block code (STBC) designs when perfect channel information is available at the transmitter (CSIT) are studied in this report. With CSIT, the transmitter can perform various techniques such as…

Since the discovery of turbo codes 20 years ago and the subsequent re-discovery of low-density parity-check codes a few years later, the field of channel coding has experienced a number of major advances. Up until that time, code designers…

We construct error correcting codes for jointly transmitting a finite set of independent messages to an 'informed receiver' which has prior knowledge of the values of some subset of the messages as side information. The transmitter is…

Empirical coordination offers a way to understand how agents can coordinate actions under communication constraints. This paper investigates the finite blocklength regime of this problem, where the encoder and decoder aim to produce a…

In this paper we study codes for correcting deletable errors in binary words, where each bit is either retained, substituted, erased or deleted and the total number of errors is much smaller compared to the length of the codeword. We…

Two broad classes of graphical modeling problems for codes can be identified in the literature: constructive and extractive problems. The former class of problems concern the construction of a graphical model in order to define a new code.…

In this paper we analyse the construction of identification codes. Identification codes are based on the question "Is the message I have just received the one I am interested in?", as opposed to Shannon's transmission, where the receiver is…

A green code attempts to minimize the total energy per-bit required to communicate across a noisy channel. The classical information-theoretic approach neglects the energy expended in processing the data at the encoder and the decoder and…

When digital data are transmitted over a noisy channel, it is important to have a mechanism allowing recovery against a limited number of errors. Normally, a user string of 0's and 1's, called bits, is encoded by adding a number of…
