Fixed-to-variable length (f2v) matchers are used to reversibly transform an input sequence of independent and uniformly distributed bits into an output sequence of bits that are (approximately) independent and distributed according to a…
In this work we explore error-correcting codes derived from the "lifting" of "affine-invariant" codes. Affine-invariant codes are simply linear codes whose coordinates are a vector space over a field and which are invariant under…

A binary code is said to be a disjunctive list-decoding $s_L$-code, $s\ge1$, $L\ge1$, (briefly, LD $s_L$-code) if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which the union of any $s$ sets can cover not…
We consider a new class of linear codes, called affine Grassmann codes. These can be viewed as a variant of generalized Reed-Muller codes and are closely related to Grassmann codes. We determine the length, dimension, and the minimum…

We introduce a natural generalization of staircase codes in which each bit is protected by arbitrarily many component codewords rather than two. This enables powerful energy-efficient FEC based on iterative decoding of Hamming components.
We address the question of constructing explicitly quasi-uniform codes from groups. We determine the size of the codebook, the alphabet and the minimum distance as a function of the corresponding group, both for abelian and some nonabelian…
We consider the problem of using polar codes over slow fading wireless channels. For design, we focus on a parallel slow fading channel with 2 blocks, and polar codes with rate <= 1/2. Motivated by Arikan's systematic polar code…
Future 5G systems will need to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications scenarios. From a latency-reliability viewpoint, it is inefficient to rely on average utility-based system design. Therefore, we introduce the notion of…
