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…

We consider a channel-independent decoder which is for i.i.d. random codes what the maximum mutual-information decoder is for constant composition codes. We show that this decoder results in exactly the same i.i.d. random coding error…
