This paper considers the performance of Reed-Muller (RM) codes transmitted over binary memoryless symmetric (BMS) channels under bitwise maximum-a-posteriori (bit-MAP) decoding. Its main result is that, for a fixed BMS channel, the family…

We study reliable communication over finite-state channels (FSCs) using Reed--Muller (RM) codes. Building on recent symmetry-based analyses for memoryless channels, we show that a sequence of binary RM codes (with some random scrambling)…

This paper considers the input-constrained binary memoryless symmetric (BMS) channel, without feedback. The channel input sequence respects the $(d,\infty)$-runlength limited (RLL) constraint, which mandates that any pair of successive $1$s…

The question whether RM codes are capacity-achieving is a long-standing open problem in coding theory that was recently answered in the affirmative for transmission over erasure channels [1], [2]. Remarkably, the proof does not rely on…

The question of whether Reed-Muller (RM) codes achieve capacity on binary memoryless symmetric (BMS) channels has drawn attention since it was resolved positively for the binary erasure channel by Kudekar et al. in 2016. In 2021, Reeves and…

We show that Reed-Muller codes achieve capacity under maximum a posteriori bit decoding for transmission over the binary erasure channel for all rates $0 < R < 1$. The proof is generic and applies to other codes with sufficient amount of…

We introduce a new approach to proving that a sequence of deterministic linear codes achieves capacity on an erasure channel under maximum a posteriori decoding. Rather than relying on the precise structure of the codes our method exploits…

In this paper, by treating Reed-Muller (RM) codes as a special class of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and assuming that sub-blocks of the parity-check matrix are randomly interleaved to each other as Gallager's codes, we present a…

This paper studies the parameters for which Reed-Muller (RM) codes over $GF(2)$ can correct random erasures and random errors with high probability, and in particular when can they achieve capacity for these two classical channels.…

For the class of the memoryless binary-input channels which are not necessarily symmetric, we derive tight bounds on the capacity in terms of the Bhattacharyya parameter. As it turns out, the bounds derived under the symmetric channel…

This paper shows that a class of codes such as Reed-Muller (RM) codes have vanishing bit-error probability below capacity on symmetric channels. The proof relies on the notion of `camellia codes': a class of symmetric codes decomposable…

Reed-Muller (RM) codes and polar codes are generated by the same matrix $G_m= \bigl[\begin{smallmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \\ \end{smallmatrix}\bigr]^{\otimes m}$ but using different subset of rows. RM codes select simply rows having largest…
