In this paper we study codes for correcting deletable errors in binary words, where each bit is either retained, substituted, erased or deleted and the total number of errors is much smaller compared to the length of the codeword. We…
Iterative decoding is essential in modern communication systems, especially optical communications, where error-correcting codes such as turbo product codes (TPC) and staircase codes are widely employed. A key factor in achieving high error…

Constructions of locally decodable codes (LDCs) have one of two undesirable properties: low rate or high locality (polynomial in the length of the message). In settings where the encoder/decoder have already exchanged cryptographic keys and…
Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes received much attention recently due to their capacity-approaching performance. The iterative message-passing algorithm is a widely adopted decoding algorithm for LDPC codes \cite{Kschischang01}. An…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. The factorization of the polynomial $x^{p+1}-1$ over the integer residue ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^e}$ is pivotal for constructing cyclic codes with Hermitian symmetry, a critical resource for Linear Complementary Dual…
A permutation code is a nonlinear code whose codewords are permutation of a set of symbols. We consider the use of permutation code in the deletion channel, and consider the symbol-invariant error model, meaning that the values of the…
We propose a new class of error correction codes for low-delay streaming communication. We consider an online setup where a source packet arrives at the encoder every $M$ channel uses, and needs to be decoded with a maximum delay of $T$…
This paper studies multiuser random coding techniques for channel coding with a given (possibly suboptimal) decoding rule. For the mismatched discrete memoryless multiple-access channel, an error exponent is obtained that is tight with…
We propose a new coding scheme, called the delayed coding (DC) scheme, for channels with insertion, deletion, and substitution (IDS) errors. The proposed scheme employs delayed encoding and non-iterative detection and decoding strategies to…
Arikan's recursive code construction is designed to polarize a collection of memoryless channels into a set of good and a set of bad channels, and it can be efficiently decoded using successive cancellation. It was recently shown that the…
Recovery of data packets from packet erasures in a timely manner is critical for many streaming applications. An early paper by Martinian and Sundberg introduced a framework for streaming codes and designed rate-optimal codes that permit…
We study the problem of universal decoding for unknown discrete memoryless channels in the presence of erasure/list option at the decoder, in the random coding regime. Specifically, we harness a universal version of Forney's classical…
Codes for storage systems aim to minimize the repair locality, which is the number of disks (or nodes) that participate in the repair of a single failed disk. Simultaneously, the code must sustain a high rate, operate on a small finite…
Polar codes are the first class of constructive channel codes achieving the symmetric capacity of the binary-input discrete memoryless channels. But the analysis and construction of polar codes involve the complex iterative-calculation. In…
New capacity upper bounds are presented for the discrete-time Poisson channel with no dark current and an average-power constraint. These bounds are a simple consequence of techniques developed for the seemingly unrelated problem of upper…
Polar codes are of great interests because they provably achieve the capacity of both discrete and continuous memoryless channels while having an explicit construction. Most existing decoding algorithms of polar codes are based on bit-wise…
