An iterative decoding algorithm for convolutional codes is presented. It successively processes $N$ consecutive blocks of the received word in order to decode the first block. A bound is presented showing which error configurations can be…
A lot of attention has been paid to the investigation of the algebraic properties of linear codes. In most cases, this investigation involves the determination of required code automorphisms, which are useful for decoders, such as the…
This paper studies \emph{linear} and \emph{affine} error-correcting codes for correcting synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions. We call such codes linear/affine insdel codes. Linear codes that can correct even a single…
We introduce a new method for decoding short and moderate length linear block codes with dense parity-check matrix representations of cyclic form, termed multiple-bases belief-propagation (MBBP). The proposed iterative scheme makes use of…
The number of zeros and the number of ones in a binary string are referred to as the composition of the string, and the prefix-suffix compositions of a string are a multiset formed by the compositions of the prefixes and suffixes of all…
A code is called solid if, roughly speaking, any correctly-transmitted codeword in an arbitrarily corrupted string of codewords can still be decoded correctly and unambiguously. So-called variable-length solid codes, in which codewords may…
In this paper we describe all pairs of binary vectors $({\bf u}, {\bf v})$ such that the set of vectors obtained by $t$ deletions in ${\bf v}$ is a subset of the set of vectors obtained by $t$ deletions in ${\bf u}$ for $t=1,2$. Such pairs…
This work gives an explicit construction of a family of error correcting codes for the binary deletion channel and for the Poisson repeat channel. In the binary deletion channel with parameter $p$ (BDC$_p$) every bit is deleted…
Code decompositions (a.k.a code nestings) are used to design good binary polar code kernels. The proposed kernels are in general non-linear and show a better rate of polarization under successive cancelation decoding, than the ones…
Codes in the Damerau--Levenshtein metric have been extensively studied recently owing to their applications in DNA-based data storage. In particular, Gabrys, Yaakobi, and Milenkovic (2017) designed a length-$n$ code correcting a single…
Recently, linear codes constructed by defining sets have attracted a lot of study, and many optimal linear codes with a few weights have been produced. The objective of this paper is to present a class of binary linear codes with three…
Determinant codes are a class of exact-repair regenerating codes for distributed storage systems with parameters (n, k = d, d). These codes cover the entire trade-off between per-node storage and repair-bandwidth. In an earlier work of the…
In this work, we show new and improved error-correcting properties of folded Reed-Solomon codes and multiplicity codes. Both of these families of codes are based on polynomials over finite fields, and both have been the sources of recent…
We consider deletion correcting codes over a q-ary alphabet. It is well known that any code capable of correcting s deletions can also correct any combination of s total insertions and deletions. To obtain asymptotic upper bounds on code…

Erasure codes have emerged as an efficient technology for providing data redundancy in distributed storage systems. However, it is a challenging task to repair the failed storage nodes in erasure-coded storage systems, which requires large…
This paper gives a brief survey of binary single-deletion-correcting codes. The Varshamov-Tenengolts codes appear to be optimal, but many interesting unsolved problems remain. The connections with shift-register sequences also remain…
