High-Throughput and Flexible Belief Propagation List Decoder for Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Chuan Zhang, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen, Yifei Shen, Yuqing Ren

Due to its high parallelism, belief propagation (BP)decoding is amenable to high-throughput applications and thusrepresents a promising solution for the ultra-high peak datarate required by future communication systems. To bridge theperformance gap compare ...

Symmetry in design and decoding of polar-like codes

Kirill Ivanov

The beginning of 21st century provided us with many answers about how to reach the channel capacity. Polarization and spatial coupling are two techniques for achieving the capacity of binary memoryless symmetric channels under low-complexity decoding algor ...

Relaxed Locally Correctable Codes With Nearly-Linear Block Length And Constant Query Complexity

Alessandro Chiesa

Locally correctable codes (LCCs) are error correcting codes C : \Sigmak \rightarrow \Sigman which admit local algorithms that correct any individual symbol of a corrupted codeword via a minuscule number of queries. For systematic codes, this notion is stro ...

Secret Key Generation Using Short Blocklength Polar Coding Over Wireless Channels

Yanina Yurina Shkel

This paper investigates the problem of secret key generation from correlated Gaussian random variables in the short blocklength regime. Short blocklengths are commonly employed in massively connected IoT sensor networks in 5G and beyond wireless systems. P ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

Polarization-Adjusted Convolutional (PAC) Codes: Sequential Decoding vs List Decoding

Andreas Peter Burg, Mohammad Rowshan

In the Shannon lecture at the 2019 International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), Arikan proposed to employ a one-to-one convolutional transform as a pre-coding step before the polar transform. The resulting codes of this concatenation are called po ...

On Codes Decoding a Constant Fraction of Errors on the BSC

Jan Hazla

We strengthen the results from a recent work by the second author, achieving bounds on the weight distribution of binary linear codes that are successful under block-MAP (as well as bit-MAP) decoding on the BEC. We conclude that a linear code that is succe ...

Recursive Projection-Aggregation Decoding of Reed-Muller Codes

Emmanuel Abbé, Min Ye

We propose a new class of efficient decoding algorithms for Reed-Muller (RM) codes over binary-input memoryless channels. The algorithms are based on projecting the code on its cosets, recursively decoding the projected codes (which are lower-order RM code ...

System and method for decoding reed-muller codes

Emmanuel Abbé, Min Ye

Various embodiments are directed to Reed-Muller decoding systems and methods based on recursive projections and aggregations of cosets decoding, exploiting the self-similarity of RM codes, and extended with list-decoding procedures and with outer-code conc ...

Permutation-based Decoding of Reed-Muller Codes in Binary Erasure Channel

Rüdiger Urbanke, Kirill Ivanov

In this paper, we consider the problem of decoding Reed-Muller (RM) codes in binary erasure channel. We propose a novel algorithm, which exploits several techniques, such as list recursive (successive cancellation) decoding based on Plotkin decomposition, ...

Reed-Muller codes polarize

Emmanuel Abbé, Min Ye

Reed-Muller (RM) codes were introduced in 1954 and have long been conjectured to achieve Shannon's capacity on symmetric channels. The activity on this conjecture has recently been revived with the emergence of polar codes. RM codes and polar codes are gen ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Near-Optimal Finite-Length Scaling for Polar Codes Over Large Alphabets

Rüdiger Urbanke, Henry Pfister

For any prime power q, Mori and Tanaka introduced a family of q-ary polar codes based on the q x q Reed-Solomon polarization kernels. For transmission over a q-ary erasure channel, they also derived a closed-form recursion for the erasure probability of ea ...
