Guo, Kopparty and Sudan have initiated the study of error-correcting codes derived by lifting of affine-invariant codes. Lifted Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are defined as the evaluation of polynomials in a vector space over a field by requiring…

The sequence reconstruction problem, introduced by Levenshtein in 2001, considers a communication setting in which a sender transmits a codeword and the receiver observes K independent noisy versions of this codeword. In this work, we study…

Modern distributed storage systems apply redundancy coding techniques to stored data. One form of redundancy is based on regenerating codes, which can minimize the repair bandwidth, i.e., the amount of data transferred when repairing a…

Abundant high-rate (n, k) minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes have been reported in the literature. However, most of them require contacting all the surviving nodes during a node repair process, resulting in a repair degree of d=n-1.…

Node failures are inevitable in distributed storage systems (DSS). To enable efficient repair when faced with such failures, two main techniques are known: Regenerating codes, i.e., codes that minimize the total repair bandwidth; and codes…

In this paper, we study distributed storage problems over unidirectional ring networks. A lower bound on the reconstructing bandwidth to recover total original data for each user is proposed, and it is achievable for arbitrary parameters.…
