An $(a,b,\tau)$ streaming code is a packet-level erasure code that can recover under a strict delay constraint of $\tau$ time units, from either a burst of $b$ erasures or else of $a$ random erasures, occurring within a sliding window of…
We study the channel coding problem when errors and uncertainty occur in the encoding process. For simplicity we assume the channel between the encoder and the decoder is perfect. Focusing on linear block codes, we model the encoding…
