We consider coding schemes for computationally bounded channels, which can introduce an arbitrary set of errors as long as (a) the fraction of errors is bounded with high probability by a parameter $p$ and (b) the process which adds the…

Determining the optimal fidelity for the transmission of quantum information over noisy quantum channels is one of the central problems in quantum information theory. Recently, [Berta-Borderi-Fawzi-Scholz, Mathematical Programming, 2021]…

We investigate whether uncoded schemes are optimal for Gaussian sources on multiuser Gaussian channels. Particularly, we consider two problems: the first is to send correlated Gaussian sources on a Gaussian broadcast channel where each…

We define a new family of codes for symmetric classical-quantum channels and establish their optimality. To this end, we extend the classical notion of generalized perfect and quasi-perfect codes to channels defined over some finite…

Motivated by results in optical communications, where the performance can degrade dramatically if the transmit power is sufficiently increased, the channel capacity is characterized for various kinds of memoryless vector channels. It is…

We study segmented burst-deletion channels motivated by the observation that synchronization errors commonly occur in a bursty manner in real-world settings. In this channel model, transmitted sequences are implicitly divided into…

In this work we explore possibilities for coding and decoding tailor-made for mean squared error evaluation of error in contexts such as image transmission. To do so, we introduce a loss function that expresses the overall performance of a…

The problem of blind identification of channel codes at a receiver involves identifying a code chosen by a transmitter from a known code-family, by observing the transmitted codewords through the channel. Most existing approaches for…

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…

The action of a noise operator on a code transforms it into a distribution on the respective space. Some common examples from information theory include Bernoulli noise acting on a code in the Hamming space and Gaussian noise acting on a…

This paper is motivated by the problem of error control in network coding when errors are introduced in a random fashion (rather than chosen by an adversary). An additive-multiplicative matrix channel is considered as a model for random…

Shannon's channel coding theorem characterizes the maximal rate of information that can be reliably transmitted over a communication channel when optimal encoding and decoding strategies are used. In many scenarios, however, practical…

When transmitting information over a noisy channel, two approaches, dating back to Shannon's work, are common: assuming the channel errors are independent of the transmitted content and devising an error-correcting code, or assuming the…
