Symmetry in design and decoding of polar-like codes

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Universal Sparse Superposition Codes With Spatial Coupling and GAMP Decoding

Nicolas Macris, Mohamad Baker Dia, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

Sparse superposition codes, or sparse regression codes, constitute a new class of codes, which was first introduced for communication over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It has been shown that such codes are capacity-achieving over the A ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

From Polar to Reed-Muller Codes : Unified Scaling, Non-standard Channels, and a Proven Conjecture

Marco Mondelli

The year 2016, in which I am writing these words, marks the centenary of Claude Shannon, the father of information theory. In his landmark 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", Shannon established the largest rate at which reliable communica ...

Linear Programming Decoding of Spatially Coupled Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Badih Ghazi

For a given family of spatially coupled codes, we prove that the linear programming (LP) threshold on the binary-symmetric channel (BSC) of the tail-biting graph cover ensemble is the same as the LP threshold on the BSC of the derived spatially coupled ens ...

Scaling Exponent of List Decoders with Applications to Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

Motivated by the significant performance gains which polar codes experience when they are decoded with successive cancellation list decoders, we study how the scaling exponent changes as a function of the list size L. In particular, we fix the block error ...

Polar Codes For Broadcast Channels

Emmanuel Abbé, Michael Christoph Gastpar, Naveen Goela

Building on polar code constructions proposed by the authors for deterministic broadcast channels, two theorems are introduced in the present paper for noisy two-user broadcast channels. The theorems establish polar code constructions for two important ...

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 ...

Non-binary LDPC codes and EXIT like functions

In the first part of this thesis we are interested in the asymptotic performance analysis of Non-Binary Low-Density Parity-Check (NBLDPC) codes over the Binary Erasure Channel (BEC) decoded via the suboptimal Belief Propagation (BP) decoder as well as the ...

Conservation laws for coding

Cyril Measson

This work deals with coding systems based on sparse graph codes. The key issue we address is the relationship between iterative (in particular belief propagation) and maximum a posteriori decoding. We show that between the two there is a fundamental connec ...

Asymptotic and finite-length analysis of low-density parity-check codes

Changyan Di

This thesis addresses the topic of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code analysis, both asymptotically and for finite block lengths. Since in general it is a difficult problem to analyze individual code instances, ensemble averages are studied by following ...

Concatenated codes for block-fading channels

Albert Guillén i Fàbregas

In this thesis we study coding strategies for single-user block-fading channels. The block-fading channel is a simplified model of slowly varying wireless communication channels with stringent delay constraints. This model is particularly important in prac ...
