This paper presents an explicit construction of a class of optimal-access, minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes, for small values of the number $d$ of helper nodes. The construction is valid for any parameter set $(n,k,d)$ with $d \in…
We present two lower bounds on sub-packetization level $\alpha$ of MSR codes with parameters $(n, k, d=n-1, \alpha)$ where $n$ is the block length, $k$ dimension, $d$ number of helper nodes contacted during single node repair and $\alpha$…
An $(n,k,l)$ MDS array code of length $n,$ dimension $k=n-r$ and sub-packetization $l$ is formed of $l\times n$ matrices over a finite field $F,$ with every column of the matrix stored on a separate node in a distributed storage system and…
Wang et al. (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, vol. 62, no. 8, 2016) proposed an explicit construction of an $(n=k+2,k)$ Minimum Storage Regenerating (MSR) code with $2$ parity nodes and subpacketization $2^{k/3}$. The number of…
An $(n,k,\ell)$-vector MDS code is a $\mathbb{F}$-linear subspace of $(\mathbb{F}^\ell)^n$ (for some field $\mathbb{F}$) of dimension $k\ell$, such that any $k$ (vector) symbols of the codeword suffice to determine the remaining $r=n-k$…
This paper presents an explicit construction for an $((n,k,d=n-1), (\alpha,\beta))$ regenerating code over a field $\mathbb{F}_Q$ operating at the Minimum Storage Regeneration (MSR) point. The MSR code can be constructed to have rate $k/n$…
A novel technique for construction of minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes is presented. Based on this technique, three explicit constructions of MSR codes are given. The first two constructions provide access-optimal MSR codes, with…
Abundant high-rate (n, k) minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes have been reported in the literature. However, most of them require contacting all the surviving nodes during a node repair process, resulting in a repair degree of d=n-1.…
Cooperative MSR codes are a kind of storage codes which enable optimal-bandwidth repair of any $h\geq2$ node erasures in a cooperative way, while retaining the minimum storage as an $[n,k]$ MDS code. Each code coordinate (node) is assumed…
An $(n,k)$ maximum distance separable (MDS) code has optimal repair access if the minimum number of symbols accessed from $d$ surviving nodes is achieved, where $k+1\le d\le n-1$. Existing results show that the sub-packetization $\alpha$ of…
High-rate minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes are known to require a large sub-packetization level, which can make meta-data management difficult and hinder implementation in practical systems. A few maximum distance separable (MDS)…
In an $(n,k,d)$ rack-aware storage model, the system consists of $n$ nodes uniformly distributed across $\bar{n}$ successive racks, such that each rack contains $u$ nodes of equal capacity and the reconstructive degree satisfies…
We present a high-rate $(n,k,d=n-1)$-MSR code with a sub-packetization level that is polynomial in the dimension $k$ of the code. While polynomial sub-packetization level was achieved earlier for vector MDS codes that repair systematic…
Higher order MDS codes are an interesting generalization of MDS codes recently introduced by Brakensiek, Gopi and Makam (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 2022). In later works, they were shown to be intimately connected to optimally list-decodable…
Minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes are MDS codes which allow for recovery of any single erased symbol with optimal repair bandwidth, based on the smallest possible fraction of the contents downloaded from each of the other symbols.…
We establish lower bounds on the sub-packetization of optimal-access MSR codes in the context of multiple-node failures. These bounds generalize the tight bounds for single-node failure presented by Balaji et al. (IEEE Transactions on…
Coding for distributed storage gives rise to a new set of problems in coding theory related to the need of reducing inter-node communication in the system. A large number of recent papers addressed the problem of optimizing the total amount…
In the literature, all the known high-rate MDS codes with the optimal repair bandwidth possess a significantly large sub-packetization level, which may prevent the codes to be implemented in practical systems. To build MDS codes with small…
This paper presents a construction for high-rate MDS codes that enable bandwidth-efficient repair of a single node. Such MDS codes are also referred to as the minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes in the distributed storage literature.…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are widely used in distributed storage systems as they provide optimal fault tolerance for a given amount of storage overhead. The seminal work of Dimakis~\emph{et al.} first established a lower bound…
