Several communication models that are of relevance in practice are asymmetric in the way they act on the transmitted "objects". Examples include channels in which the amplitudes of the transmitted pulses can only be decreased, channels in…
We present a constraint-coding scheme to correct asymmetric magnitude-$1$ errors in multi-level non-volatile memories. For large numbers of such errors, the scheme is shown to deliver better correction capability compared to known…
Independent parallel q-ary symmetric channels are a suitable transmission model for several applications. The proposed weighted-Hamming metric is tailored to this setting and enables optimal decoding performance. We show that some…
Linear codes for error detection on a q-ary symmetric channel are studied. It is shown that for given dimension k and minimum distance d, there exists a value \mu(d,k) such that if C is a code of length n >= \mu(d,k), then neither C nor its…
We consider codes over the alphabet Q={0,1,..,q-1}intended for the control of unidirectional errors of level l. That is, the transmission channel is such that the received word cannot contain both a component larger than the transmitted one…
We investigate machine learning based on clustering techniques that are suitable for the detection of encoded strings of q-ary symbols transmitted over a noisy channel with partially unknown characteristics. We consider the detection of the…
In this paper, the problem of correction of a single error in $q$-ary symmetric channel with noiseless feedback is considered. We propose an algorithm to construct codes with feedback inductively. For all prime power $q$ we prove that two…
The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
We study error-correcting codes in the space $\mathcal{S}_{n,q}$ of length-$n$ multisets over a $q$-ary alphabet, motivated by permutation channels in which ordering is completely lost and errors act solely by deletions of symbols, i.e., by…
The construction of asymmetric error correcting codes is a topic that was studied extensively, however, the existing approach for code construction assumes that every codeword should tolerate $t$ asymmetric errors. Our main observation is…
We present techniques that improve the performance of asymmetric stabilizer codes in the presence of unital channels with unknown parameters. Our method estimates the channel parameters using information recovered from syndrome measurements…
It was recently proposed to encode the one-sided exponential source X via K parallel channels, Y1, ..., YK , such that the error signals X - Yi, i = 1,...,K, are one-sided exponential and mutually independent given X. Moreover, it was shown…
In this letter, we analyse the properties of a maximum likelihood channel estimator based on the syndrome of a linear code. For the two examples of a binary symmetric channel and a binary input additive white Gaussian noise channel, we…
Motivated by communication channels in which the transmitted sequences are subject to random permutations, as well as by certain DNA storage systems, we study the error control problem in settings where the information is stored/transmitted…
In digital systems such as fiber optical communications, the ratio between probability of errors of type $1\to 0$ and $0 \to 1$ can be large. Practically, one can assume that only one type of error can occur. These errors arecalled…
An erasure channel with a fixed alphabet size $q$, where $q \gg 1$, is studied. It is proved that over any erasure channel (with or without memory), Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes achieve the minimum probability of error (assuming…
This paper investigates achievable information rates and error exponents of mismatched decoding when the channel belongs to the class of channels that are close to the decoding metric in terms of relative entropy. For both discrete- and…
We consider the problem of block-coded communication, where in each block, the channel law belongs to one of two disjoint sets. The decoder is aimed to decode only messages that have undergone a channel from one of the sets, and thus has to…
DNA storage has emerged as a promising solution for large-scale and long-term data preservation. Among various error types, insertions are the most frequent errors occurring in DNA sequences, where the inserted symbol is often identical or…
We study relationships between worst-case and random-noise properties of error correcting codes. More concretely, we consider connections between minimum distance, list decoding radius, and block error probability on noisy channels. A…
