Cooperative MSR codes are a kind of storage codes which enable optimal-bandwidth repair of any $h\geq2$ node erasures in a cooperative way, while retaining the minimum storage as an $[n,k]$ MDS code. Each code coordinate (node) is assumed…
Coding for distributed storage gives rise to a new set of problems in coding theory related to the need of reducing inter-node communication in the system. A large number of recent papers addressed the problem of optimizing the total amount…
This paper presents an explicit construction of a class of optimal-access, minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes, for small values of the number $d$ of helper nodes. The construction is valid for any parameter set $(n,k,d)$ with $d \in…
We present two lower bounds on sub-packetization level $\alpha$ of MSR codes with parameters $(n, k, d=n-1, \alpha)$ where $n$ is the block length, $k$ dimension, $d$ number of helper nodes contacted during single node repair and $\alpha$…
A $(k+r,k,l)$ binary array code of length $k+r$, dimension $k$, and sub-packetization $l$ is composed of $l\times(k+r)$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_2$, with every column of the matrix stored on a separate node in the distributed storage…

We present a high-rate $(n,k,d=n-1)$-MSR code with a sub-packetization level that is polynomial in the dimension $k$ of the code. While polynomial sub-packetization level was achieved earlier for vector MDS codes that repair systematic…
Minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes, with the MDS property and the optimal repair bandwidth, are widely used in distributed storage systems (DSS) for data recovery. In this paper, we consider the construction of $(n,k,l)$ MSR codes in…
We consider $(n,k,l)$ MDS codes of length $n$, dimension $k$, and subpacketization $l$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. A codeword of such a code consists of $n$ column-vectors of length $l$ over $\mathbb{F}$, with the property that any…
An $(n,k,\ell)$-vector MDS code is a $\mathbb{F}$-linear subspace of $(\mathbb{F}^\ell)^n$ (for some field $\mathbb{F}$) of dimension $k\ell$, such that any $k$ (vector) symbols of the codeword suffice to determine the remaining $r=n-k$…
Centralized repair refers to repairing $h\geq 2$ node failures using $d$ helper nodes in a centralized way, where the repair bandwidth is counted by the total amount of data downloaded from the helper nodes. A centralized MSR code is an MDS…
In a distributed storage system based on erasure coding, an important problem is the \emph{repair problem}: If a node storing a coded piece fails, in order to maintain the same level of reliability, we need to create a new encoded piece and…
For scalar maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, the conventional repair schemes that achieve the cut-set bound with equality for the single-node repair have been proven to require a super-exponential sub-packetization level.As is well…
Two widely studied models of multiple-node repair in distributed storage systems are centralized repair and cooperative repair. The centralized model assumes that all the failed nodes are recreated in one location, while the cooperative one…

We address the multi-node failure repair challenges for MDS array codes. Presently, two primary models are employed for multi-node repairs: the centralized model where all failed nodes are restored in a singular data center, and the…
In this paper, we propose locally repairable codes (LRCs) with optimal minimum distance for distributed storage systems (DSS). A two-layer encoding structure is employed to ensure data reconstruction and the designated repair locality. The…
