An Explicit Construction of Optimal Streaming Codes for Channels With Burst and Arbitrary Erasures

Damian Dudzicz

This paper presents a new construction of error correcting codes which achieves optimal recovery of a streaming source over a packet erasure channel. The channel model considered is the sliding-window erasure model, with burst and arbitrary losses, introdu ...

From LDPC Block to LDPC Convolutional Codes: Capacity, Stability, and Universality

Wei Liu

In his landmark paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," the founding father of information theory and coding theory, Claude E. Shannon, established the largest rate at which reliable communication is possible and he revealed that the key to this re ...

Compute–Forward Multiple Access (CFMA): Practical Implementations

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

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 ...

Communication Versus Computation: Duality for Multiple-Access Channels and Source Coding

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Jingge Zhu, Sung Hoon Lim

Computation codes in network information theory are designed for scenarios where the decoder is not interested in recovering the information sources themselves, but only a function thereof. Körner and Marton showed for distributed source coding (DSC) that ...

A New Coding Paradigm for the Primitive Relay Channel

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

We consider the primitive relay channel, where the source sends a message to the relay and to the destination, and the relay helps the communication by transmitting an additional message to the destination via a separate channel. Two well-known coding tech ...

Streaming From a Moving Platform with Real-Time and Playback Distortion Constraints

Laura Toni, Giuseppe Cocco

Video streaming from remotely controlled moving platforms such as drones have stringent constraints in terms of delay. In some applications such videos have to provide real-time visual feedback to the pilot with an acceptable distortion while satisfying hi ...

LDPC Coded Multiuser Shaping for the Gaussian Multiple Access Channel

Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

The joint design of input constellation and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes to approach the symmetric capacity of the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel is studied. More specifically, multilevel coding is employed at each user to construct a h ...

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 ...

Gaussian channel transmission of images and audio files using cryptcoding

Vladimir Ilievski

Random codes based on quasigroups (RCBQ) are cryptcodes, i.e. they are error-correcting codes, which provide information security. Cut-Decoding and 4-Sets-Cut-Decoding algorithms for these codes are defined elsewhere. Also, the performance of these codes f ...
