Almost impossible E_8 and Leech lattices

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 ...

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 ...

On the Computational Complexity of Blind Detection of Binary Linear Codes

Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Aris Filos Ratsikas

In this work, we study the computational complexity of the Minimum Distance Code Detection problem. In this problem, we are given a set of noisy codeword observations and we wish to find a code in a set of linear codes C of a given dimension k, for which t ...

Improved decoding of second-order Reed-Muller codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Kirill Ivanov

In this paper, we consider low-complexity decoding of second-order Reed-Muller codes. A class of polynomial-time algorithms, based on the projections onto first-order codes, is studied. An old representative of this class, originally developed for binary s ...

Interleaving with Coroutines: A Practical Approach for Robust Index Joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index join performance is determined by the efficiency of the lookup operation on the involved index. Although database indexes are highly optimized to leverage processor caches, main memory accesses inevitably increase lookup runtime when the index outsiz ...

Generalized Codes on Graphs and Applications in Content Distribution

Masoud Alipour Babaei

The contribution of this thesis is twofold. In the first part, we generalize and analyze two classes of error correcting codes: LDPC codes and product codes. We generalize graphical codes by considering checks being arbitrary codes instead of single pariti ...

Universal bounds on the scaling behavior of polar codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Ali Goli

We consider the problem of determining the tradeoff between the rate and the block-length of polar codes for a given block error probability when we use the successive cancellation decoder. We take the sum of the Bhattacharyya parameters as a proxy for the ...

Threshold Saturation via Spatial Coupling: Why Convolutional LDPC Ensembles Perform So Well over the BEC

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

Convolutional low-density parity-check (LDPC) ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing functions of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed ...

Polar codes for channel and source coding

Satish Babu Korada

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Source and channel coding using Fountain codes

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana

The invention of Fountain codes is a major advance in the field of error correcting codes. The goal of this work is to study and develop algorithms for source and channel coding using a family of Fountain codes known as Raptor codes. From an asymptotic poi ...

On communication over discrete memoryless channels with noiseless feedback

Peter Allan Berlin

The addition of a feedback link to a discrete memoryless channel does not increase its capacity, but it does bring with it other benefits. One of these benefits is an increase to the best achievable error exponent. In the first part of this thesis we revis ...

Effect of Interfering Users on the Modulation Order and Code Rate for UWB Impulse-Radio Bit-Interleaved Coded M-ary PPM

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz

We consider the impact of multi-user interference on a bit-interleaved coded-modulation system with M-ary PPM (BIC M-ary PPM) in an impulse-radio ultra-wideband physical layer. In a realistic scenario such as an ad hoc network, the interference is inherent ...
