In the setting of error-correcting codes with feedback, Alice wishes to communicate a $k$-bit message $x$ to Bob by sending a sequence of bits over a channel while noiselessly receiving feedback from Bob. It has been long known (Berlekamp,…

We present a decode-and-forward transmission scheme based on spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes for a network consisting of two (possibly correlated) sources, one relay, and one destination. The links between the…

Incremental redundancy with ACK/NACK feedback produces a variable-length stop-feedback (VLSF) code constrained to have $m$ decoding times, with an ACK/NACK feedback to the transmitter at each decoding time. This paper focuses on the…
