Channel capacities quantify the optimal rates of sending information reliably over noisy channels. Usually, the study of capacities assumes that the circuits which sender and receiver use for encoding and decoding consist of perfectly…
The unsourced MAC model was originally introduced to study the communication scenario in which a number of devices with low-complexity and low-energy wish to upload their respective messages to a base station. In the original problem…

This paper investigates variable-length stop-feedback codes for memoryless channels in point-to-point, multiple access, and random access communication scenarios. The proposed codes employ $L$ decoding times $n_1, n_2, \dots, n_L$ for the…
Motivated by applications in distributed storage, the notion of a locally recoverable code (LRC) was introduced a few years back. In an LRC, any coordinate of a codeword is recoverable by accessing only a small number of other coordinates.…

The use of open-loop coding can be easily extended to a closed-loop concatenated code if the channel has access to feedback. This can be done by introducing a feedback transmission scheme as an inner code. In this paper, this process is…

Unsourced random-access (U-RA) is a type of grant-free random access with a virtually unlimited number of users, of which only a certain number $K_a$ are active on the same time slot. Users employ exactly the same codebook, and the task of…

We study the channel coding problem when errors and uncertainty occur in the encoding process. For simplicity we assume the channel between the encoder and the decoder is perfect. Focusing on linear block codes, we model the encoding…

We study the application of polar codes in deletion channels by analyzing the cascade of a binary erasure channel (BEC) and a deletion channel. We show how polar codes can be used effectively on a BEC with a single deletion, and propose a…

We put forth new models for universal channel coding. Unlike standard codes which are designed for a specific type of channel, our most general universal code makes communication resilient on every channel, provided the noise level is below…
