We propose a framework to study the effect of local recovery requirements of codeword symbols on the dimension of linear codes, based on a combinatorial proxy that we call \emph{visible rank}. The locality constraints of a linear code are…
Regenerating codes for distributed storage have attracted much research interest in the past decade. Such codes trade the bandwidth needed to repair a failed node with the overall amount of data stored in the network. Minimum storage…
Data storage applications require erasure-correcting codes with prescribed sets of dependencies between data symbols and redundant symbols. The most common arrangement is to have $k$ data symbols and $h$ redundant symbols (that each depends…
Locally repairable codes which are optimal with respect to the bound presented by Prakash et al. are considered. New upper bounds on the length of such optimal codes are derived. The new bounds both improve and generalize previously known…
An $(n, k, d, \alpha)$-MSR (minimum storage regeneration) code is a set of $n$ nodes used to store a file. For a file of total size $k\alpha$, each node stores $\alpha$ symbols, any $k$ nodes recover the file, and any $d$ nodes can repair…
In this paper, we study codes with locality that can recover from two erasures via a sequence of two local, parity-check computations. By a local parity-check computation, we mean recovery via a single parity-check equation associated to…
In this paper, we propose two new constructions of exact-repair minimum storage regenerating (exact-MSR) codes. For both constructions, the encoded symbols are obtained by treating the message vector over GF(q) as a linearized polynomial…
The high repair cost of (n,k) Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) erasure codes has recently motivated a new class of codes, called Regenerating Codes, that optimally trade off storage cost for repair bandwidth. On one end of this spectrum of…
In most notions of locality in error correcting codes -- notably locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and locally decodable codes (LDCs) -- a decoder seeks to learn a single symbol of a message while looking at only a few symbols of the…
For a code $\code$, its $i$-th symbol is said to have locality $r$ if its value can be recovered by accessing some other $r$ symbols of $\code$. Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are the family of codes such that every symbol has locality…
Erasure coding with wide stripes is increasingly adopted to reduce storage overhead in large-scale storage systems. However, existing Locally Repairable Codes (LRCs) exhibit structural limitations in this setting: inflated local groups…
Cyclic codes are an important class of linear codes. Bounding the minimum distance of cyclic codes is a long-standing research topic in coding theory, and several well-known and basic results have been developed on this topic. Recently,…

Locally recoverable codes are widely used in distributed and cloud storage systems. The objective of this paper is to present a construction of near MDS codes with oval polynomials and then determine the locality of the codes. It turns out…
We consider locally repairable codes over small fields and propose constructions of optimal cyclic and linear codes in terms of the dimension for a given distance and length. Four new constructions of optimal linear codes over small fields…
Streaming codes are a class of packet-level erasure codes that are designed with the goal of ensuring recovery in low-latency fashion, of erased packets over a communication network. It is well-known in the streaming code literature, that…

Because of the recent applications to distributed storage systems, researchers have introduced a new class of block codes, i.e., locally recoverable (LRC) codes. LRC codes can recover information from erasure(s) by accessing a small number…
MDS (maximum distance separable) array codes are widely used in storage systems due to their computationally efficient encoding and decoding procedures. An MDS code with r redundancy nodes can correct any r erasures by accessing (reading)…
