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 ...
Balanced bipolar codes consist of sequences in which the symbols ‘−1’ and ‘+1’ appear equally often. Several generalizations to larger alphabets have been considered in literature. For example, for the q-ary alphabet {−q+1,−q+3, . . . , q−1}, known concept ...
We consider a very simple Mealy machine ( two nontrivial states over a two-symbol alphabet), and derive some properties of the semigroup it generates. It is an infinite, finitely generated semigroup, and we show that the growth function of its balls behave ...
Après un état de l’art des technologies existantes capables de mimer l’écriture Braille, l’étudiant aura pour objectif de créer un « actionneur » à base de fluide (Magnéto Rhéologique, Ferro Fluide …) pouvant tenir deux positions (haute et basse) sous la p ...
In this study, the authors consider the class of anti-uniform Huffman (AUH) codes. The authors derived tight lower and upper bounds on the average codeword length, entropy and redundancy of finite and infinite AUH codes in terms of the alphabet size of the ...
We examine the throughput benefits that network coding offers with respect to the average through- put achievable by routing, where the average throughput refers to the average of the rates that the indi- vidual receivers experience. We relate these benefi ...
e analyze a special class of configurations with h sources and N receivers to demonstrate the throughput benefits of network coding and deterministic code design. We show that the throughput benefits network coding offers can increase proportionally to \sq ...
We introduce irregular product codes, a class of codes where each codeword is represented by a matrix and the entries in each row (column) of the matrix come from a component row (column) code. As opposed to standard product codes, we do not require that a ...
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 ...

In this paper we consider the class of anti-uniform Huffman codes and derive tight lower and upper hounds on the average length, entropy, and redundancy of such codes in terms of the alphabet size of the source. Also an upper bound on the entropy of AUH co ...
