Piggybacking codes are a special class of MDS array codes that can achieve small repair bandwidth with small sub-packetization by first creating some instances of an $(n,k)$ MDS code, such as a Reed-Solomon (RS) code, and then designing the…
We present the construction of a new family of erasure correcting codes for distributed storage that yield low repair bandwidth and low repair complexity. The construction is based on two classes of parity symbols. The primary goal of the…

Recent advances in erasure coding for distributed storage systems have demonstrated that adapting redundancy to varying disk failure rates can lead to substantial storage savings. Such adaptation requires code conversion, wherein data…
In this paper, we analyze $m$-dimensional ($m$D) convolutional codes with finite support, viewed as a natural generalization of one-dimensional (1D) convolutional codes to higher dimensions. An $m$D convolutional code with finite support…

This paper proposes an algorithmic framework for various reconfiguration problems using zero-suppressed binary decision diagrams (ZDDs), a data structure for families of sets. In general, a reconfiguration problem checks if there is a…
When a node in a distributed storage system fails, it needs to be promptly repaired to maintain system integrity. While typical erasure codes can provide a significant storage advantage over replication, they suffer from poor repair…
In distributed storage systems that employ erasure coding, the issue of minimizing the total {\it repair bandwidth} required to exactly regenerate a storage node after a failure arises. This repair bandwidth depends on the structure of the…
A key design goal of erasure-coded clusters is to reduce the repair time. The existing Erasure-coded data repair schemes are roughly classified into two categories: 1. Designing rapid data repair (e.g., PPR) in a homogeneous environment. 2.…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are considered with equal or unequal localities, local distances and local field sizes. An explicit two-layer architecture with a sum-rank outer code is obtained, having disjoint local groups and achieving…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are ingeniously designed distributed storage codes with a (usually small) fixed set of helper nodes participating in repair. Since most existing LRCs assume exact repair and allow full exchange of the stored…
Locally repairable codes enables fast repair of node failure in a distributed storage system. The code symbols in a codeword are stored in different storage nodes, such that a disk failure can be recovered by accessing a small fraction of…
