We consider a real-time streaming system where messages are created sequentially at the source, and are encoded for transmission to the receiver over a packet erasure link. Each message must subsequently be decoded at the receiver within a…
Small neural networks (NNs) used for error correction were shown to improve on classic channel codes and to address channel model changes. We extend the code dimension of any such structure by using the same NN under one-hot encoding…

For any $n_t$ transmit, $n_r$ receive antenna ($n_t\times n_r$) MIMO system in a quasi-static Rayleigh fading environment, it was shown by Elia et al. that linear space-time block code-schemes (LSTBC-schemes) which have the non-vanishing…
Distributed storage systems often introduce redundancy to increase reliability. When coding is used, the repair problem arises: if a node storing encoded information fails, in order to maintain the same level of reliability we need to…
Classical erasure codes, e.g. Reed-Solomon codes, have been acknowledged as an efficient alternative to plain replication to reduce the storage overhead in reliable distributed storage systems. Yet, such codes experience high overhead…
