We consider a setting of Slepian--Wolf coding, where the random bin of the source vector undergoes channel coding, and then decoded at the receiver, based on additional side information, correlated to the source. For a given distribution of…
The use of multiple antenna arrays in transmission and reception has become an integral part of modern wireless communications. To quantify the performance of such systems, the evaluation of bounds on the error probability of realistic…
Statistical physics is employed to evaluate the performance of error-correcting codes in the case of finite message length for an ensemble of Gallager's error correcting codes. We follow Gallager's approach of upper-bounding the average…
This paper is focused on the performance analysis of binary linear block codes (or ensembles) whose transmission takes place over independent and memoryless parallel channels. New upper bounds on the maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding error…
We explore the relation between the techniques of statistical mechanics and information theory for assessing the performance of channel coding. We base our study on a framework developed by Gallager in {\em IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory} {\bf…
In this paper, parameterized Gallager's first bounding technique (GFBT) is presented by introducing nested Gallager regions, to derive upper bounds on the ML decoding error probability of general codes over AWGN channels. The three…
Slepian-Wolf theorem is a well-known framework that targets almost lossless compression of (two) data streams with symbol-by-symbol correlation between the outputs of (two) distributed sources. However, this paper considers a different…
This paper is focused on the performance analysis of binary linear block codes (or ensembles) whose transmission takes place over independent and memoryless parallel channels. New upper bounds on the maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding error…
New lower and upper bounds on the reliability function of typewriter channels are given. Our lower bounds improve upon the (multiletter) expurgated bound of Gallager, furnishing a new and simple counterexample to a conjecture made in 1967…
Second-order coding rate of channel coding is discussed for general sequence of channels. The optimum second-order transmission rate with a constant error constraint $\epsilon$ is obtained by using the information spectrum method. We apply…
We survey coding techniques that enable reliable transmission at rates that approach the capacity of an arbitrary discrete memoryless channel. In particular, we take the point of view of modern coding theory and discuss how recent advances…
We analyze random coding error exponents associated with erasure/list Slepian-Wolf decoding using two different methods and then compare the resulting bounds. The first method follows the well known techniques of Gallager and Forney and the…
The exact order of the optimal sub-exponentially decaying factor in the classical bounds on the error probability of fixed-length codes over a Gallager-symmetric discrete memoryless channel with and without ideal feedback is determined.…
This paper studies expurgated random-coding bounds and exponents for channel coding with a given (possibly suboptimal) decoding rule. Variations of Gallager's analysis are presented, yielding several asymptotic and non-asymptotic bounds on…
In continuation to an earlier work, where error exponents of typical random codes were studied in the context of general block coding, with no underlying structure, here we carry out a parallel study on typical random, time-varying trellis…
We provide a novel upper-bound on Witsenhausen's rate, the rate required in the zero-error analogue of the Slepian-Wolf problem; our bound is given in terms of a new information-theoretic functional defined on a certain graph. We then use…
The performance of Gallager's error-correcting code is investigated via methods of statistical physics. In this approach, the transmitted codeword comprises products of the original message bits selected by two randomly-constructed sparse…
Performance evaluation of particular channel coding has been a significant topic in coding theory, often involving the use of bounding techniques. This paper focuses on the new family of capacity-achieving codes, Spinal codes, to provide a…
The notion of source polarization is introduced and investigated. This complements the earlier work on channel polarization. An application to Slepian-Wolf coding is also considered. The paper is restricted to the case of binary alphabets.…
Sphere packing bounds (SPBs) ---with prefactors that are polynomial in the block length--- are derived for codes on two families of memoryless channels using Augustin's method: (possibly non-stationary) memoryless channels with (possibly…
