Quantum error correction is rapidly seeing first experimental implementations, but there is a significant gap between asymptotically optimal error-correcting codes and codes that are experimentally feasible. Quantum LDPC codes range from…
This paper deals with a universal coding problem for a certain kind of multiterminal source coding network called a generalized complementary delivery network. In this network, messages from multiple correlated sources are jointly encoded,…
In this note, we give a construction of codes on algebraic function field $F/ \mathbb{F}_{q}$ using places of $F$ (not necessarily of degree one) and trace functions from various extensions of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. This is a generalization of…
We prove a new bound for the minimum distance of geometric Goppa codes that generalizes two previous improved bounds. We include examples of the bound to one and two point codes over both the Suzuki and Hermitian curves.
As a result of their applications in network coding, space-time coding, and coding for criss-cross errors, matrix codes have garnered significant attention; in various contexts, these codes have also been termed rank-metric codes,…
Requirements and code, in conventional software engineering wisdom, belong to entirely different worlds. Is it possible to unify these two worlds? A unified framework could help make software easier to change and reuse. To explore the…
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…
SC-LDPC codes with sub-block locality can be decoded locally at the level of sub-blocks that are much smaller than the full code block, thus providing fast access to the coded information. The same code can also be decoded globally using…
Multiplicity codes are algebraic error-correcting codes generalizing classical polynomial evaluation codes, and are based on evaluating polynomials and their derivatives. This small augmentation confers upon them better local decoding,…
We establish a duality result between linear index coding and Locally Repairable Codes (LRCs). Specifically, we show that a natural extension of LRCs we call Generalized Locally Repairable Codes (GLCRs) are exactly dual to linear index…
Recently introduced Fair-Density Parity-Check (FDPC) codes, targeting high-rate applications, offer superior error-correction performance (ECP) compared to 5G Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes, given the same number of message-passing…
Generalized concatenated codes were introduced in the 1970s by Zinoviev. There are many types of codes in the literature that are known by other names that can be viewed as generalized concatenated codes. Examples include matrix-product…
It is reasonable to expect the theory of quantum codes to be simplified in the case of codes of minimum distance 2; thus, it makes sense to examine such codes in the hopes that techniques that prove effective there will generalize. With…
We propose a new code design that aims to distribute an LDPC code over a relay channel. It is based on a split-and-extend approach, which allows the relay to split the set of bits connected to some parity-check of the LDPC code into two or…
We improve previously known lower bounds for the minimum distance of certain two-point AG codes constructed using a Generalized Giulietti-Korchmaros curve (GGK). Castellanos and Tizziotti recently described such bounds for two-point codes…
We propose a modified iterative bounded distance decoding of product codes. The proposed algorithm is based on exchanging hard messages iteratively and exploiting channel reliabilities to make hard decisions at each iteration. Performance…
A new construction of codes from old ones is considered, it is an extension of the matrix-product construction. Several linear codes that improve the parameters of the known ones are presented.
Due to their fast decoding algorithms, quantum generalizations of low-density parity check, or LDPC, codes have been investigated as a solution to the problem of decoherence in fragile quantum states. However, the additional twisted inner…
We derive a general lower bound for the generalized Hamming weights of nested matrix-product codes, with a particular emphasis on the cases with two and three constituent codes. We also provide an upper bound which is reminiscent of the…
We consider spatially coupled low-density parity-check codes with finite smoothing parameters. A finite smoothing parameter is important for designing practical codes that are decoded using low-complexity windowed decoders. By optimizing…
