In this work we extend the setting of communication without power constraint, proposed by Poltyrev, to fast fading channels with channel state information (CSI) at the receiver. The optimal codewords density, or actually the optimal…
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…
We derive the effective channel for a logical qubit protected by an arbitrary quantum error-correcting code, and derive the map between channels induced by concatenation. For certain codes in the presence of single-bit Pauli errors, we…
The problem of joint source-channel coding is considered for a stationary remote (noisy) Gaussian source and a Gaussian channel. The encoder and decoder are assumed to be causal and their combined operations are subject to a delay…
Computation of the undetected error probability for error correcting codes over the Z-channel is an important issue, explored only in part in previous literature. In this paper we consider the case of Varshamov-Tenengol'ts codes, by…
This paper considers the problem of covert communication with mismatched decoding, in which a sender wishes to reliably communicate with a receiver whose decoder is fixed and possibly sub-optimal, and simultaneously to ensure that the…
We consider upper bounds on the error probability in channel coding. We derive an improved maximum-likelihood union bound, which takes into account events where the likelihood of the correct codeword is tied with that of some competitors.…
The error exponent of fixed-length lossy source coding was established by Marton. Ahlswede showed that this exponent can be discontinuous at a rate $R$, depending on the probability distribution $P$ of the given information source and the…
We consider transmitting a source across a pair of independent, non-ergodic channels with random states (e.g., slow fading channels) so as to minimize the average distortion. The general problem is unsolved. Hence, we focus on comparing two…
The highest information rate at which quantum error-correction schemes work reliably on a channel, which is called the quantum capacity, is proven to be lower bounded by the limit of the quantity termed coherent information maximized over…
Motivated by communication channels in which the transmitted sequences are subject to random permutations, as well as by certain DNA storage systems, we study the error control problem in settings where the information is stored/transmitted…
Designing encoding and decoding circuits to reliably send messages over many uses of a noisy channel is a central problem in communication theory. When studying the optimal transmission rates achievable with asymptotically vanishing error…
This paper investigates the decoding of certain Gabidulin codes that were transmitted over a channel with space-symmetric errors. Space-symmetric errors are additive error matrices that have the property that their column and row spaces are…
Tight lower and upper bounds on the ratio of relative entropies of two probability distributions with respect to a common third one are established, where the three distributions are collinear in the standard $(n-1)$-simplex. These bounds…
We study the problem of communicating over a discrete memoryless two-way channel using non-adaptive schemes, under a zero probability of error criterion. We derive single-letter inner and outer bounds for the zero-error capacity region,…
We show that approximating the trace norm contraction coefficient of a quantum channel within a constant factor is NP-hard. Equivalently, this shows that determining the optimal success probability for encoding a bit in a quantum system…
Motivated by recent work on entanglement-assisted codes for sending messages over classical channels, the larger, easily characterised class of non-signalling codes is defined. Analysing the optimal performance of these codes yields an…
Performance evaluation of particular channel coding has been a significant topic in coding theory, often involving the use of bounding techniques. This paper focuses on the new family of capacity-achieving codes, Spinal codes, to provide a…

For output-symmetric DMCs at even moderately high rates, fixed-block-length communication systems show no improvements in their error exponents with feedback. In this paper, we study systems with fixed end-to-end delay and show that…
