We explore a generalization of set reconciliation, where the goal is to reconcile sets of sets. Alice and Bob each have a parent set consisting of $s$ child sets, each containing at most $h$ elements from a universe of size $u$. They want…

In the Shannon lecture at the 2019 International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), Ar{\i}kan proposed to employ a one-to-one convolutional transform as a pre-coding step before the polar transform. The resulting codes of this…

Polar codes asymptotically achieve the symmetric capacity of memoryless channels, yet their error-correcting performance under successive-cancellation (SC) decoding for short and moderate length codes is worse than that of other modern…

In the standard polar code construction, the message vector $(U_0,U_1,\dots,U_{n-1})$ is divided into information bits and frozen bits according to the reliability of each $U_i$ given $(U_0,U_1,\dots,U_{i-1})$ and all the channel outputs.…

We show that polar codes can be used to achieve the rate-distortion functions in the problem of hierarchical source coding also known as the successive refinement problem. We also analyze the distributed version of this problem,…

We propose a new framework for constructing polar codes (i.e., selecting the frozen bit positions) for arbitrary channels, and tailored to a given decoding algorithm, rather than based on the (not necessarily optimal) assumption of…

To extend the applications of polar codes within next-generation wireless communication systems, it is essential to incorporate support for Incremental Redundancy (IR) Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) schemes. The baseline IR-HARQ…

The problem of communication over binary dirty paper (DP) using nested polar codes is considered. An improved scheme, focusing on low delay, short to moderate blocklength communication is proposed. Successive cancellation list (SCL)…

We consider a noisy Slepian-Wolf problem where two correlated sources are separately encoded (using codes of fixed rate) and transmitted over two independent binary memoryless symmetric channels. The capacity of each channel is…

In the standard set reconciliation problem, there are two parties $A_1$ and $A_2$, each respectively holding a set of elements $S_1$ and $S_2$. The goal is for both parties to obtain the union $S_1 \cup S_2$. In many distributed computing…

We present a novel distributed computing framework that is robust to slow compute nodes, and is capable of both approximate and exact computation of linear operations. The proposed mechanism integrates the concepts of randomized sketching…

Bit flipping can be used as a postprocessing technique to further improve the performance for successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding of polar codes. However, the number of bit-flipping trials could increase the decoding latency…

This work analyzes the latency of the simplified successive cancellation (SSC) decoding scheme for polar codes proposed by Alamdar-Yazdi and Kschischang. It is shown that, unlike conventional successive cancellation decoding, where latency…

For finite length polar codes, channel polarization leaves a significant number of channels not fully polarized. Adding a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to better protect information on the semi-polarized channels has already been…

Practical constructions of lossless distributed source codes (for the Slepian-Wolf problem) have been the subject of much investigation in the past decade. In particular, near-capacity achieving code designs based on LDPC codes have been…

This paper presents an efficient hardware design approach for list successive cancellation (LSC) decoding of polar codes. By applying path-overlapping scheme, the l instances of (l > 1) successive cancellation (SC) decoder for LSC with list…

To extend the applications of polar codes within next-generation wireless communication systems, it is essential to incorporate support for Incremental Redundancy (IR) Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) schemes. For very high-throughput…

In this paper we propose an enhanced soft cancellation (SCAN) decoder for polar codes based on decoding stages permutation. The proposed soft cancellation list (SCANL) decoder runs $L$ independent SCAN decoders, each one relying on a…

Non-binary polar codes (NBPCs) decoded by successive cancellation (SC) algorithm have remarkable bit-error-rate performance compared to the binary polar codes (BPCs). Due to the serial nature, SC decoding suffers from large latency. The…

In this paper, we use linear codes to study zero-error Slepian-Wolf coding of a set of sources with deviation symmetry, where the sources are generalization of the Hamming sources over an arbitrary field. We extend our previous codes,…
