Consider two remote nodes (encoder and decoder), each with a binary sequence. The encoder's sequence $X$ differs from the decoder's sequence $Y$ by a small number of edits (deletions and insertions). The goal is to construct a message $M$,…

This paper presents general bounds on the highest achievable rate for list-decodable insertion-deletion codes. In particular, we give novel outer and inner bounds for the highest achievable communication rate of any insertion-deletion code…

We study near optimal error correction codes for real-time communication. In our setup the encoder must operate on an incoming source stream in a sequential manner, and the decoder must reconstruct each source packet within a fixed playback…

This work constructs codes that are efficiently decodable from a constant fraction of \emph{worst-case} insertion and deletion errors in three parameter settings: (i) Binary codes with rate approaching 1; (ii) Codes with constant rate for…

We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct $\delta$ deletions occurring in an arbitrary binary string of length $n$ bits. Varshamov-Tenengolts (VT) codes, dating back to 1965, are zero-error single deletion $(\delta=1)$…

In this paper, a new problem of transmitting information over the adversarial insertion-deletion channel with feedback is introduced. Suppose that the encoder transmits $n$ binary symbols one-by-one over a channel, in which some symbols can…

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…

We put forth new models for universal channel coding. Unlike standard codes which are designed for a specific type of channel, our most general universal code makes communication resilient on every channel, provided the noise level is below…

We consider the problem of constructing deletion correcting codes over a binary alphabet and take a graph theoretic view. An $n$-bit $s$-deletion correcting code is an independent set in a particular graph. We propose constructing such a…

The noise model of deletions poses significant challenges in coding theory, with basic questions like the capacity of the binary deletion channel still being open. In this paper, we study the harder model of worst-case deletions, with a…

Motivated by DNA storage systems and 3D fingerprinting, this work studies the adversarial torn paper channel with edit errors. This channel first applies at most $t_e$ edit errors (i.e., insertions, deletions, and substitutions) to the…

The deletion channel is the simplest point-to-point communication channel that models lack of synchronization. Input bits are deleted independently with probability d, and when they are not deleted, they are not affected by the channel.…

This letter introduces a novel channel coding design framework for short-length codewords that permits balancing the tradeoff between the bit error rate floor and waterfall region by modifying a single real-valued parameter. The proposed…

This paper presents a new construction of error correcting codes which achieves optimal recovery of a streaming source over a packet erasure channel. The channel model considered is the sliding window erasure model, with burst and arbitrary…

This paper considers transmitting a sequence of messages (a streaming source) over a packet erasure channel. In each time slot, the source constructs a packet based on the current and the previous messages and transmits the packet, which…

Stochastic encoders for channel coding and lossy source coding are introduced with a rate close to the fundamental limits, where the only restriction is that the channel input alphabet and the reproduction alphabet of the lossy source code…
