Using age of information as the freshness metric, we examine a multicast network in which real-time status updates are generated by the source and sent to a group of $n$ interested receivers. We show that in order to keep the information…

We consider communication over the binary erasure channel (BEC) using low-density parity-check (LDPC) code and belief propagation (BP) decoding. The bit error probability for infinite block length is known by density evolution and it is…

Arithmetic codes are usually deemed as the most important means to implement lossless source coding, whose principle is mapping every source symbol to a sub-interval in [0, 1). For every source symbol, the length of its mapping sub-interval…
