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 ...

Strengthened Information-theoretic Bounds on the Generalization Error

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

The following problem is considered: given a joint distribution P XY and an event E, bound P XY (E) in terms of P X P Y (E) (where P X P Y is the product of the marginals of P XY ) and a measure of dependence of X and Y. Such bounds have direct application ...

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 ...

Almost Optimal Scaling of Reed-Muller Codes on BEC and BSC Channels

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Shrinivas Kudekar, Yury Polyanskiy

Consider a binary linear code of length N, minimum distance d(min), transmission over the binary erasure channel with parameter 0 < epsilon < 1 or the binary symmetric channel with parameter 0 < epsilon < 1/2, and block-MAP decoding. It was shown by Tillic ...

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, ...

Polar Codes for Arbitrary DMCs and Arbitrary MACs

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser

Polar codes are constructed for arbitrary channels by imposing an arbitrary quasi-group structure on the input alphabet. Just as with usual polar codes, the block error probability under successive cancellation decoding is O(2^(-N^(1/2-epsilon))), where N ...

Second-order asymptotics for the Gaussian MAC with degraded message sets

Jonathan Mark Scarlett

This paper studies the second-order asymptotics of the Gaussian multiple-access channel with degraded message sets. For a fixed average error probability epsilon is an element of (0, 1) and an arbitrary point on the boundary of the capacity region, we char ...

Re-proving Channel Polarization Theorems : An Extremality and Robustness Analysis

Mine Alsan

The general subject considered in this thesis is a recently discovered coding technique, polar coding, which is used to construct a class of error correction codes with unique properties. In his ground-breaking work, Arikan proved that this class of codes, ...

Density Evolution for Min-Sum Decoding of LDPC Codes Under Unreliable Message Storage

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

We analyze the performance of quantized min-sum decoding of low-density parity-check codes under unreliable message storage. To this end, we introduce a simple bit-level error model and show that decoder symmetry is preserved under this model. Subsequently ...

Polarization Theorems for Arbitrary DMCs

A polarization phenomenon in a special sense is shown for an arbitrary discrete memoryless channel (DMC) by imposing a quasigroup structure on the input alphabet. The same technique is used to derive a polarization theorem for an arbitrary multiple access ...

Polar coding for arbitrary DMCs

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser

Polar codes are constructed for arbitrary channels by imposing an arbitrary quasigroup structure on the input alphabet. The block error probability under successive cancellation decoding decays exponentially with the square root of the block length. It is ...

Rate-Dependent Analysis of the Asymptotic Behavior of Channel Polarization

We consider the asymptotic behavior of the polarization process in the large block-length regime when transmission takes place over a binary-input memoryless symmetric channel W. In particular, we study the asymptotics of the cumulative distribution, P(Z(n ...

Iterative Coding for Network Coding

We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanisms include node-or link-failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an overestimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work of Kotter and Kschi ...

Spatially coupled codes have been of interest recently owing to their superior performance over memoryless binary-input channels. The performance is good both asymptotically, since the belief propagation thresholds approach the Shannon limit, as well as fo ...
