A method is proposed, called channel polarization, to construct code sequences that achieve the symmetric capacity $I(W)$ of any given binary-input discrete memoryless channel (B-DMC) $W$. The symmetric capacity is the highest rate…
This paper is motivated by the problem of error control in network coding when errors are introduced in a random fashion (rather than chosen by an adversary). An additive-multiplicative matrix channel is considered as a model for random…
The zero-error capacity of channels with a countably infinite input alphabet formally generalises Shannon's classical problem about the capacity of discrete memoryless channels. We solve the problem for three particular channels. Our…
A zero-error coding scheme of asymptotic rate $ \log_2 (1+\sqrt{5}) - 1 $ was recently described for a communication channel composed of parallel asynchronous lines satisfying the so-called no switch assumption. We prove that this is in…
Memoryless channels with synchronization errors as defined by a stochastic channel matrix allowing for symbol insertions and deletions in addition to random errors are considered. Such channels are information stable, hence their Shannon…
The one-bit deletion and duplication channel is investigated. An input to this channel consists of a block of bits which experiences either a deletion, or a duplication, or remains unchanged. For this channel a capacity expression is…
A (tandem) duplication of length $ k $ is an insertion of an exact copy of a substring of length $ k $ next to its original position. This and related types of impairments are of relevance in modeling communication in the presence of…
Due to its high data density and longevity, DNA is considered a promising medium for satisfying ever-increasing data storage needs. However, the diversity of errors that occur in DNA sequences makes efficient error-correction a challenging…
We address the problem of correcting a single error in an arbitrary discrete memoryless channel with error-free instantaneous feedback. For the case of a one-time feedback, we propose a method for constructing optimal transmission…
Zero-error coding encompasses a variety of source and channel problems where the probability of error must be exactly zero. This condition is stricter than that of the vanishing error regime, where the error probability goes to zero as the…
Motivated by applications of biometric identification and content identification systems, we consider the problem of random coding for channels, where each codeword undergoes lossy compression (vector quantization), and where the decoder…
We study codes that can correct backtracking errors during nanopore sequencing. In this channel, a sequence of length $n$ over an alphabet of size $q$ is being read by a sliding window of length $\ell$, where from each window we obtain only…
Motivated by the concept of probe storage, we study the problem of information retrieval using a large array of N nano-mechanical probes, N ~ 4000. At the nanometer scale it is impossible to avoid errors in the positioning of the array,…
We consider a new formulation of a class of synchronization error channels and derive analytical bounds and numerical estimates for the capacity of these channels. For the binary channel with only deletions, we obtain an expression for the…
Shannon's theory of zero-error communication is re-examined in the broader setting of using one classical channel to simulate another exactly, and in the presence of various resources that are all classes of non-signalling correlations:…
We consider the problem of reliable communication over a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with the help of a relay, termed the information bottleneck (IB) channel. There is no direct link between the source and the destination, and the…
In this work we study zero vs. epsilon-error capacity in network coding instances. For multicast network coding it is well known that all rates that can be delivered with arbitrarily small error probability can also be delivered with zero…
In this paper, we consider sequential testing over a single-sensor, a single-decision center setup. At each time instant $t$, the sensor gets $k$ samples $(k>0)$ and describes the observed sequence until time $t$ to the decision center over…
The DNA storage channel is considered, in which the $M$ Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules comprising each codeword are stored without order, sampled $N$ times with replacement, and then sequenced over a discrete memoryless channel. For…
We derive a single-letter upper bound to the mismatched-decoding capacity for discrete memoryless channels. The bound is expressed as the mutual information of a transformation of the channel, such that a maximum-likelihood decoding error…
