We consider a time division duplex (TDD) $n_t \times n_r$ multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with channel state information (CSI) at both the transmitter and receiver. We propose X- and Y-Codes to achieve high multiplexing and…

Sequencing a DNA strand, as part of the read process in DNA storage, produces multiple noisy copies which can be combined to produce better estimates of the original strand; this is called trace reconstruction. One can reduce the error rate…

This brief introduces a hardware complexity reduction method for successive cancellation list (SCL) decoders. Specifically, we propose to use a sorting scheme so that L paths with smallest path metrics are also sorted according to their…

We give an explicit construction of length-$n$ binary codes capable of correcting the deletion of two bits that have size $2^n/n^{4+o(1)}$. This matches up to lower order terms the existential result, based on an inefficient greedy choice…

Due to the redundant nature of DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies, a basic model for a DNA storage system is a multi-draw "shuffling-sampling" channel. In this model, a random number of noisy copies of each sequence is observed at…

In the \emph{trace reconstruction problem}, an unknown source string $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ is transmitted through a probabilistic \emph{deletion channel} which independently deletes each bit with some fixed probability $\delta$ and concatenates…
