In this paper, we propose locally repairable codes (LRCs) with optimal minimum distance for distributed storage systems (DSS). A two-layer encoding structure is employed to ensure data reconstruction and the designated repair locality. The…
We give an explicit construction of exact cooperative regenerating codes at the MBCR (minimum bandwidth cooperative regeneration) point. Before the paper, the only known explicit MBCR code is given with parameters $n=d+r$ and $d=k$, while…
A new class of exact-repair regenerating codes is constructed by combining two layers of erasure correction codes together with combinatorial block designs, e.g., Steiner systems, balanced incomplete block designs and t-designs. The…
We study the exact-repair tradeoff between storage and repair bandwidth in distributed storage systems (DSS). We give new inner bounds for the tradeoff region and provide code constructions that achieve these bounds.
MDS array codes are widely used in storage systems to protect data against erasures. We address the \emph{rebuilding ratio} problem, namely, in the case of erasures, what is the fraction of the remaining information that needs to be…
Self-Repairing Codes (SRC) are codes designed to suit the need of coding for distributed networked storage: they not only allow stored data to be recovered even in the presence of node failures, they also provide a repair mechanism where as…
For an $(n,k,\ell)$ MDS array code over $\mathbb{F}_q$, how small can the repair bandwidth and repair I/O be under linear exact repair? We study this question in the regime where the field size $q$, the redundancy $r=n-k$, and the…
This paper considers data secrecy in distributed storage systems (DSSs) using maximally recoverable locally repairable codes (MR-LRCs). Conventional MR-LRCs are in general not secure against eavesdroppers who can observe the transmitted…
This paper aims to go beyond resilience into the study of security and local-repairability for distributed storage systems (DSS). Security and local-repairability are both important as features of an efficient storage system, and this paper…
Distributed data storage systems are essential to deal with the need to store massive volumes of data. In order to make such a system fault-tolerant, some form of redundancy becomes crucial, incurring various overheads - most prominently in…
When there are multiple node failures in a distributed storage system, regenerating the failed storage nodes individually in a one-by-one manner is suboptimal as far as repair-bandwidth minimization is concerned. If data exchange among the…
Erasure codes are an efficient means of storing data across a network in comparison to data replication, as they tend to reduce the amount of data stored in the network and offer increased resilience in the presence of node failures. The…
Consider the following fundamental question of distributed storage networks: Given any arbitrary $(n,k,d)$ values, whether there exists an intelligent helper selection scheme (assuming unlimited memory and computing power) that can strictly…
Fractional repetition (FR) codes are a family of repair-efficient storage codes that provide exact and uncoded node repair at the minimum bandwidth regenerating point. The advantageous repair properties are achieved by a tailor-made…
Recently, the research on local repair codes is mainly confined to repair the failed nodes within each repair group. But if the extreme cases occur that the entire repair group has failed, the local code stored in the failed group need to…
Erasure coding is widely used for massive storage in data centers to achieve high fault tolerance and low storage redundancy. Since the cross-rack communication cost is often high, it is critical to design erasure codes that minimize the…
Determinant codes are a class of exact-repair regenerating codes for distributed storage systems with parameters (n, k = d, d). These codes cover the entire trade-off between per-node storage and repair-bandwidth. In an earlier work of the…

We present a new 'piggybacking' framework for designing distributed storage codes that are efficient in data-read and download required during node-repair. We illustrate the power of this framework by constructing classes of explicit codes…
In distributed storage systems, cooperative regenerating codes tradeoff storage for repair bandwidth in the case of multiple node failures. In rack-aware distributed storage systems, there is no cost associated with transferring symbols…
