The structure of polar codes inherently requires block lengths to be powers of two. In this paper, we investigate how different block lengths can be realized by coupling of several short-length polar codes. For this, we first analyze "code…
A novel technique for construction of minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes is presented. Based on this technique, three explicit constructions of MSR codes are given. The first two constructions provide access-optimal MSR codes, with…
(Block-)coordinate minimization is an iterative optimization method which in every iteration finds a global minimum of the objective over a variable or a subset of variables, while keeping the remaining variables constant. While for some…

BiD codes, which are a new family of algebraic codes of length $3^m$, achieve the erasure channel capacity under bit-MAP decoding and offer asymptotically larger minimum distance than Reed-Muller (RM) codes. In this paper we propose fast…
A code over a finite alphabet is called locally recoverable (LRC) if every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number (at most $r$) other symbols. We present a family of LRC codes that attain the maximum possible value of the…
In this paper, we study the minimum distances of binary linear codes with parity check matrices formed from subset inclusion matrices $W_{t,n,k}$, representing $t$-element subsets versus $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set. We provide…
All codes with minimum distance 8 and codimension up to 14 and all codes with minimum distance 10 and codimension up to 18 are classified. Nonexistence of codes with parameters [33,18,8] and [33,14,10] is proved. This leads to 8 new exact…
Multi-resolution codes enable multicast at different rates to different receivers, a setup that is often desirable for graphics or video streaming. We propose a simple, distributed, two-stage message passing algorithm to generate network…
Products of MDS codes are of major practical importance; for a recent example, they are used in Data Availability Sampling (DAS) in blockchain networks such as Celestia and as part of the Ethereum roadmap. This motivates us to consider…
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…
Maximum run-length limited codes are constraint codes used in communication and data storage systems. Insertion/deletion correcting codes correct insertion or deletion errors caused in transmitted sequences and are used for combating…
Minimal linear codes are algebraic objects which gained interest in the last twenty years, due to their link with Massey's secret sharing schemes. In this context, Ashikhmin and Barg provided a useful and a quite easy to handle sufficient…
Low complexity error correction code is a key enabler for next generation ultra-reliable low-latency communications (xURLLC) in six generation (6G). Against this background, this paper proposes a decoding scheme for linear block code by…

Ultra-reliable low-latency communication is essential in mission-critical settings, including military applications, where persistent and asymmetric link blockages caused by mobility, jamming, or adversarial attacks can disrupt…
