We consider channel coding for Gaussian channels with the recently introduced mean and variance cost constraints. Through matching converse and achievability bounds, we characterize the optimal first- and second-order performance. The main…

The number-theoretic codes are a class of codes defined by single or multiple congruences and are mainly used for correcting insertion and deletion errors. Since the number-theoretic codes are generally non-linear, the analysis method for…

Codes on hypergraphs are an extension of the well-studied family of codes on bipartite graphs. Bilu and Hoory (2004) constructed an explicit family of codes on regular t-partite hypergraphs whose minimum distance improves earlier estimates…

We study universal decoding over unknown discrete additive channels determined by a finite-state (unifilar) random process. Aiming at low-complexity decoders, we study variants of noise-guessing decoders that use estimators for the…

In the online channel coding model, a sender wishes to communicate a message to a receiver by transmitting a codeword x =(x_1,...,x_n) in {0,1}^n bit by bit via a channel limited to at most pn corruptions. The channel is online in the sense…

For discrete memoryless multiple-access channels, we propose a general definition of variable length codes with a measure of the transmission rates at the receiver side. This gives a receiver perspective on the multiple-access channel…

In this letter we consider the ensemble of codes formed by the serial concatenation of a Hamming code and two accumulate codes. We show that this ensemble is asymptotically good, in the sense that most codes in the ensemble have minimum…
