Distributed storage codes have important applications in the design of modern storage systems. In a distributed storage system, every storage node has a probability to fail and once an individual storage node fails, it must be reconstructed…

An $(m,n,a,b)$-tensor code consists of $m\times n$ matrices whose columns satisfy `$a$' parity checks and rows satisfy `$b$' parity checks (i.e., a tensor code is the tensor product of a column code and row code). Tensor codes are useful in…

This paper investigates the use of redundancy and self repairing against node failures in distributed storage systems, using various strategies. In replication method, access to one replication node is sufficient to reconstruct a lost node,…

In the literature, all the known high-rate MDS codes with the optimal repair bandwidth possess a significantly large sub-packetization level, which may prevent the codes to be implemented in practical systems. To build MDS codes with small…

We study the exact and optimal repair of multiple failures in codes for distributed storage. More particularly, we provide an explicit construction of exact minimum bandwidth coordinated regenerating codes (MBCR) for n=d+t,k,d >= k,t >= 1.…

Cooperative MSR codes are a kind of storage codes which enable optimal-bandwidth repair of any $h\geq2$ node erasures in a cooperative way, while retaining the minimum storage as an $[n,k]$ MDS code. Each code coordinate (node) is assumed…

This paper describes a non-homogeneous distributed storage systems (DSS), where there is one super node which has a larger storage size and higher reliability and availability than the other storage nodes. We propose three distributed…

In distributed storage, erasure codes -- like Reed-Solomon Codes -- are often employed to provide reliability. In this setting, it is desirable to be able to repair one or more failed nodes while minimizing the repair bandwidth. In this…

We introduce a new class of exact Minimum-Bandwidth Regenerating (MBR) codes for distributed storage systems, characterized by a low-complexity uncoded repair process that can tolerate multiple node failures. These codes consist of the…

We consider the problem of constructing linear Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) error-correcting codes with generator matrices that are sparsest and balanced. In this context, sparsest means that every row has the least possible number of…

We study linear exact repair for $(n,k,\ell)$ MDS array codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with redundancy $r=n-k$, in the regime where $q$, $r$, and $\ell$ are fixed and the code length $n$ varies. A recent projective counting argument gives a…
