In the recent work \cite{shi18}, a combinatorial problem concerning linear codes over a finite field $\F_q$ was introduced. In that work the authors studied the weight set of an $[n,k]_q$ linear code, that is the set of non-zero distinct…
We study the problem of secure joint source-channel coding for multimodal semantic sources transmitted over noisy wiretap channels. The source model consists of $m$ modalities (e.g., image, audio, and sensor data), all represented as random…
We optimize modulation formats for the additive white Gaussian noise channel with nonnegative input, also known as the intensity-modulated direct-detection channel, with and without confining them to a lattice structure. Our optimization…
We give a complete characterization of the correlated random coding secrecy capacity of arbitrarily varying wiretap channels (AVWCs). We apply two alternative strong secrecy criteria, which both lead to the same multi-letter formula. The…
In this paper, we consider the problem of robust joint source-channel coding over an additive white Gaussian noise channel. We propose a new scheme which achieves the optimal slope of the signal-to-distortion (SDR) curve (unlike the…
Let B_n be the hyperoctahedral group; that is, the set of all signed permutations on n letters, and let B_n(T) be the set of all signed permutations in B_n which avoids a set T of signed patterns. In this paper, we find all the…

The two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) technology promises storage densities of $10$ terabits per square inch. However, when tracks are squeezed together, a bit stored in the two-dimensional (TD) grid suffers inter-symbol…
For nonnegative integers $q,n,d$, let $A_q(n,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code of length $n$ over an alphabet $[q]$ with $q$ letters and with minimum distance at least $d$. We consider the following upper bound on $A_q(n,d)$. For…
Independent parallel q-ary symmetric channels are a suitable transmission model for several applications. The proposed weighted-Hamming metric is tailored to this setting and enables optimal decoding performance. We show that some…

We consider $q$-ary (linear and nonlinear) block codes with exactly two distances: $d$ and $d+\delta$. Several combinatorial constructions of optimal such codes are given. In the linear (but not necessary projective) case, we prove that…
We consider a block fading additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel with perfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter and the receiver. First, for a given codeword length and non-vanishing average probability of error, we…
A general method of coding over expansions is proposed, which allows one to reduce the highly non-trivial problem of coding over continuous channels to a much simpler discrete ones. More specifically, the focus is on the additive…
A fundamental problem in coding theory is the design of an efficient coding scheme that achieves the capacity of the additive white Gaussian (AWGN) channel. The main objective of this short note is to point out that by concatenating a…
We prove that, for the binary erasure channel (BEC), the polar-coding paradigm gives rise to codes that not only approach the Shannon limit but do so under the best possible scaling of their block length as a~function of the gap to…
