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…
We consider data transmission over a network where each edge is an erasure channel and where the inner nodes transmit a random linear combination of their incoming information. We distinguish two channel models in this setting, the row and…
