In large data centers, storage nodes are organized in racks, and the cross-rack transmission dominates the bandwidth cost. For the repair of single node failures, codes achieving the tradeoff between the storage redundancy and cross-rack…
The rack-aware storage model improves repair efficiency by exploiting locality within racks to minimize cross-rack traffic in a distributed storage system. While the partially cooperative repair model presents a solution for multiple node…
Motivated by the application of Reed-Solomon codes to recently emerging decentralized storage systems such as Storj and Filebase/Sia, we study the problem of designing compact repair groups for recovering multiple failures in a…
In this survey, two related families of codes are discussed: batch codes and codes for private information retrieval. These two families can be viewed as natural generalizations of locally repairable codes, which were extensively studied in…
We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most $k$ deletions occur in a window of…
The high repair cost of (n,k) Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) erasure codes has recently motivated a new class of codes, called Regenerating Codes, that optimally trade off storage cost for repair bandwidth. On one end of this spectrum of…
Maximally recoverable codes are a class of codes which recover from all potentially recoverable erasure patterns given the locality constraints of the code. In earlier works, these codes have been studied in the context of codes with…
Dihedral codes, particular cases of quasi-cyclic codes, have a nice algebraic structure which allows to store them efficiently. In this paper, we investigate it and prove some lower bounds on their dimension and minimum distance, in analogy…
Linear Complementary Dual codes (LCD) are binary linear codes that meet their dual trivially. We construct LCD codes using orthogonal matrices, self-dual codes, combinatorial designs and Gray map from codes over the family of rings $R_k$.…
We consider error decoding of locally repairable codes (LRC) and partial MDS (PMDS) codes through interleaved decoding. For a specific class of LRCs we investigate the success probability of interleaved decoding. For PMDS codes we show that…
In this paper, we provide explicit constructions for a class of exact-repair regenerating codes that possess a layered structure. These regenerating codes correspond to interior points on the storage-repair-bandwidth tradeoff, and compare…
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…
Locally recoverable codes deal with the task of reconstructing a lost symbol by relying on a portion of the remaining coordinates smaller than an information set. We consider the case of codes over finite chain rings, generalizing known…
An $(n,k,d)$ cooperative regenerating code provides the optimal-bandwidth repair for any $t~(t\!>\!1)$ node failures in a cooperative way. In particular, an MSCR (minimum storage cooperative regenerating) code retains the same storage…
A code is called $(n, k, r, t)$ information symbol locally repairable code \big($(n, k, r, t)_i$ LRC\big) if each information coordinate can be achieved by at least $t$ disjoint repair sets, containing at most $r$ other coordinates. This…
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…
Codes over rings, especially over Galois rings, have been extensively studied for nearly three decades due to their similarity to linear codes over finite fields. A distributed storage system uses a linear code to encode a large file across…
The $i$th coordinate of an $(n,k)$ code is said to have locality $r$ and availability $t$ if there exist $t$ disjoint groups, each containing at most $r$ other coordinates that can together recover the value of the $i$th coordinate. This…
Fractional repetition (FR) codes is a family of codes for distributed storage systems that allow for uncoded exact repairs having the minimum repair bandwidth. However, in contrast to minimum bandwidth regenerating (MBR) codes, where a…
A code over a finite alphabet is called locally recoverable (LRC code) if every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number (at most $r$) other symbols of the codeword. In this paper we introduce a construction of LRC codes on…
