In this work we explore possibilities for coding and decoding tailor-made for mean squared error evaluation of error in contexts such as image transmission. To do so, we introduce a loss function that expresses the overall performance of a…
This paper investigates unequal error protection (UEP) in digital semantic communication, where semantically important bits require substantially higher reliability than less critical ones. To characterize this heterogeneity, we introduce a…
We present a novel autoencoder-based approach for designing codes that provide unequal error protection (UEP) capabilities. The proposed design is based on a generalization of an autoencoder loss function that accommodates both message-wise…
Conventional communication systems are mainly designed to reduce error rates and increase transmission rates, and therefore usually provide uniform protection to all transmitted messages. However, in intent-oriented applications, different…
This paper proposes the design of polar and convolutional coset codes for the unequal message protection (UMP) in the short blocklength regime, to overcome the rate loss introduced by preamble-based solutions. After providing conditions to…
In this paper, we consider designing low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded modulation systems to achieve unequal error protection (UEP). We propose a new UEP approach by partial superposition transmission called UEP-by-PST. In the…
An information theoretic framework for unequal error protection is developed in terms of the exponential error bounds. The fundamental difference between the bit-wise and message-wise unequal error protection (UEP) is demonstrated, for…
Because of their capacity-approaching performance, graph-based codes have a wide range of applications, including communications and storage. In these codes, unequal error protection (UEP) can offer performance gains with limited rate loss.…
This paper tackles the pressing challenge of preserving semantic meaning in communication systems constrained by limited bandwidth. We introduce a novel reinforcement learning framework that achieves per-dimension unequal error protection…
Semantic communications (SemCom) is a promising task-oriented paradigm in which semantic features exhibit non-uniform importance. Consequently, unequal error protection (UEP), which allocates resources based on semantic importance, plays a…
Quantum error correcting codes (QECCs) are the means of choice whenever quantum systems suffer errors, e.g., due to imperfect devices, environments, or faulty channels. By now, a plethora of families of codes is known, but there is no…
We study a form of unequal error protection that we term "unequal message protection" (UMP). The message set of a UMP code is a union of $m$ disjoint message classes. Each class has its own error protection requirement, with some classes…
Rateless codes have been shown to be able to provide greater flexibility and efficiency than fixed-rate codes for multicast applications. In the following, we optimize rateless codes for unequal error protection (UEP) for multimedia…
Semantic communication systems for goal-oriented transmission must protect task-relevant information not only through source compression but also via physical layer mapping. Existing approaches decouple constellation design and semantic…
In this paper, an integer programming approach is introduced to construct Unequal Error Protection (UEP) codes for multiuser broadcast channels. We show that the optimal codes can be constructed that satisfy the integer programming bound.…
In this chapter, we show how the use of differential coding and the presence of phase slips in the transmission channel affect the total achievable information rates and capacity of a system. By means of the commonly used QPSK modulation,…
Unequal error protection (UEP) coding that enables differentiated reliability levels within a transmitted message is essential for modern communication systems. Autoencoder (AE)-based code designs have shown promise in the context of…
Recent theoretical developments in coset coding theory have provided continuous-valued functions which give the equivocation and maximum likelihood (ML) decoding probability of coset secrecy codes. In this work, we develop a method for…
Error and erasure exponents for the broadcast channel with degraded message sets are analyzed. The focus of our error probability analysis is on the main receiver where, nominally, both messages are to be decoded. A two-step decoding…
In this paper we investigate the role of local information in the decoding of the repetition and surface error correction codes for the protection of quantum states. Our key result is an improvement in resource efficiency when local…
