A Gapless Post-quantum Hash Proof System in the Hamming Metric

A hash proof system (HPS) is a form of implicit proof of membership to a language. Out of the very few existing post-quantum HPS, most are based on languages of ciphertexts of code-based or lattice-based cryptosystems and inherently suffer from a gap cause ...

Mismatched Decoding Reliability Function at Zero Rate

Marco Bondaschi

We derive an upper bound on the reliability function of mismatched decoding for zero-rate codes. The bound is based on a result by Komlos that shows the existence of a subcode with certain symmetry properties. The bound is shown to coincide with the expurg ...

Optima Age Over Erasure Channels

Emre Telatar, Elie Najm, Rajai Nasser

Previous works on age of information and erasure channels have dealt with specific models and computed the average age or average peak age for certain settings. In this paper, given a source that produces a letter every T-s seconds and an erasure channel t ...

A Revisitation of Low-Rate Bounds on the Reliability Function of Discrete Memoryless Channels for List Decoding

Marco Bondaschi

We revise the proof of low-rate upper bounds on the reliability function of discrete memoryless channels for ordinary and list-decoding schemes, in particular Berlekamp and Blinovsky's zero-rate bound, as well as Blahut's bound for low rates. The available ...

Almost impossible E_8 and Leech lattices

Maryna Viazovska

We start this short note by introducing two remarkable mathematical objects: the E8E8 root lattice Lambda8Lambda8 in 8-dimensional Euclidean space and the Leech lattice Lambda24Lambda24 in 24-dimensional space. These two lattices stand out among their lat ...

Compute-Forward for DMCs: Simultaneous Decoding of Multiple Combinations

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Adriano Pastore, Chen Feng

Algebraic network information theory is an emerging facet of network information theory, studying the achievable rates of random code ensembles that have algebraic structure, such as random linear codes. A distinguishing feature is that linear combinations ...

Compute–Forward Multiple Access (CFMA): Practical Implementations

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Jingge Zhu, Erixhen Sula, Adriano Pastore

We present a practical strategy that aims to attain rate points on the dominant face of the multiple access channel capacity using a standard low complexity decoder. This technique is built upon recent theoretical developments of Zhu and Gastpar on compute ...

New Results On The Pseudoredundancy

Jens Markus Zumbrägel, Zihui Liu

The concepts of pseudocodeword and pseudoweight play a fundamental role in the finite-length analysis of LDPC codes. The pseudoredundancy of a binary linear code is defined as the minimum number of rows in a parity-check matrix such that the corresponding ...

Optimal Age over Erasure Channels

Emre Telatar, Elie Najm, Rajai Nasser

Given a source that produces a letter every T-s seconds and an erasure channel that can be used every T-c seconds, we ask what is the coding strategy that minimizes the time-average "age of information" that an observer of the channel output incurs. We wil ...

Near-Optimal Noisy Group Testing via Separate Decoding of Items

Volkan Cevher, Jonathan Mark Scarlett

The group testing problem consists of determining a small set of defective items from a larger set of items based on a number of tests, and is relevant in applications such as medical testing, communication protocols, pattern matching, and more. In this pa ...

On the distribution of squarefree integers in arithmetic progressions

Pierre Francis André Le Boudec

investigate the error term of the asymptotic formula for the number of squarefree integers up to some bound, and lying in some arithmetic progression a (mod q). In particular, we prove an upper bound for its variance as a varies over (Z/qZ)(x) which consid ...

Coding for Communications and Secrecy

Mani Bastaniparizi

Shannon, in his landmark 1948 paper, developed a framework for characterizing the fundamental limits of information transmission. Among other results, he showed that reliable communication over a channel is possible at any rate below its capacity. In 2008, ...

Non-malleable Reductions and Applications

Divesh Aggarwal

Non-malleable codes, introduced by Dziembowski, Pietrzak and Wichs [DPW10], provide a useful message integrity guarantee in situations where traditional error-correction (and even error-detection) is impossible; for example, when the attacker can completel ...

Wave-Like Solutions of General 1-D Spatially Coupled Systems

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

We establish the existence of wave-like solutions to spatially coupled graphical models which, in the large size limit, can be characterized by a 1-D real-valued state. This is extended to a proof of the threshold saturation phenomenon for all such models, ...

Integer-forcing Linear Receivers

Linear receivers are often used to reduce the implementation complexity of multiple-antenna systems. In a traditional linear receiver architecture, the receive antennas are used to separate out the codewords sent by each transmit antenna, which can then be ...

Efficient Non-malleable Codes and Key-Derivation for Poly-size Tampering Circuits

Non-malleable codes, defined by Dziembowski, Pietrzak and Wichs (ICS ’10), provide roughly the following guarantee: if a codeword c encoding some message x is tampered to c' = f(c) such that c c, then the tampered message x contained in c reveals no inf ...

Approximate Decoding Approaches for Network Coded Correlated Data

This paper considers a framework where data from correlated sources are transmitted with help of network coding in ad-hoc network topologies. The correlated data are encoded independently at sensors and network coding is employed in the intermediate nodes ...
