Compared with classical block codes, efficient list decoding of rank-metric codes seems more difficult. Although the list decodability of random rank-metric codes and limits to list decodability have been completely determined, little work…
A new class of codes, Extended Product (EPC) Codes, consisting of a product code with a number of extra parities added, is presented and applications for erasure decoding are discussed. An upper bound on the minimum distance of EPC codes is…
Motivated by the need to communicate short control messages in 5G and beyond, this paper carefully designs codes for cyclic redundancy check (CRC)-aided list decoding of tail-biting convolutional codes (TBCCs) and polar codes. Both codes…
Rank-one update of the spectrum of a matrix is a fundamental problem in classical perturbation theory. In this paper, we consider its variant where only part of the spectrum is known. We address this variant using an efficient scheme for…
Insdel errors occur in communication systems caused by the loss of positional information of the message. Since the work by Guruswami and Wang, there have been some further investigations on the list decoding of insertion codes, deletion…
We consider the following \textit{network computation problem}. In an acyclic network, there are multiple source nodes, each generating multiple messages, and there are multiple sink nodes, each demanding a function of the source messages.…
In this paper, an extension of raptor codes is introduced which keeps all the desirable properties of raptor codes, including the linear complexity of encoding and decoding per information bit, unchanged. The new design, however, improves…
The storage capacity of a graph measures the maximum amount of information that can be stored across its vertices, such that the information at any vertex can be recovered from the information stored at its neighborhood. The study of this…
This paper presents encoding and decoding algorithms for several families of optimal rank metric codes whose codes are in restricted forms of symmetric, alternating and Hermitian matrices. First, we show the evaluation encoding is the right…
In this work we study both the index coding with side information (ICSI) problem introduced by Birk and Kol in 1998 and the more general problem of index coding with coded side information (ICCSI), described by Shum et al in 2012. We…
Information leakage to a guessing adversary in index coding is studied, where some messages in the system are sensitive and others are not. The non-sensitive messages can be used by the server like secret keys to mitigate leakage of the…
A single unicast index coding problem (SUICP) with symmetric and consecutive interference (SCI) has $K$ messages and $K$ receivers, the $k$th receiver $R_k$ wanting the $k$th message $x_k$ and having interference $\mathcal{I}_k=…
A new inner bound on the capacity region of a general index coding problem is established. Unlike most existing bounds that are based on graph theoretic or algebraic tools, the bound is built on a random coding scheme and optimal decoding,…
The recently introduced problem of extending partial interval representations asks, for an interval graph with some intervals pre-drawn by the input, whether the partial representation can be extended to a representation of the entire…
The non-uniform demand network coding problem is posed as a single-source and multiple-sink network transmission problem where the sinks may have heterogeneous demands. In contrast with multicast problems, non-uniform demand problems are…
We consider the problem of polar coding for transmission over $m$-user multiple access channels. In the proposed scheme, all users encode their messages using a polar encoder, while a joint successive cancellation decoder is deployed at the…
We consider the special case of index coding over the Gaussian broadcast channel where each receiver has prior knowledge of a subset of messages at the transmitter and demands all the messages from the source. We propose a concatenated…
We improve the method in \cite{Seidl:10} for increasing the finite-lengh performance of polar codes by protecting specific, less reliable symbols with simple outer repetition codes. Decoding of the scheme integrates easily in the known…
Variable-length splittable codes are derived from encoding sequences of ordered integer pairs, where one of the pair's components is upper bounded by some constant, and the other one is any positive integer. Each pair is encoded by the…
We consider the problem of encoding two-dimensional arrays, whose elements come from a total order, for answering \topk{} queries. The aim is to obtain encodings that use space close to the information-theoretic lower bound, which can be…
