Convolutional LDPC ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing as a function of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed to date, all of which s ...
The arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is a channel model whose state is selected maliciously by an adversary. Fixed-blocklength coding assumes a worst-case bound on the adversary's capabilities, which leads to pessimistic results. This paper defines a vari ...
Polar coding is a recent channel coding technique invented by Arikan to achieve the 'symmetric capacity' of binary-input memoryless channels. Subsequently it was observed by Korada and Urbanke that such codes are also good for lossy channel coding, achievi ...

For the recently proposed model of symbol-pair channels, we advance the pair-error coding theory with algebraic cyclic-code constructions and asymptotic bounds on code rates. Cyclic codes for pair-errors are constructed by a careful use of duals of known t ...

The utility of limited feedback for coding over an individual sequence of discrete memoryless channels is investigated. This study complements recent results showing how limited or noisy feedback can boost the reliability of communication. A strategy with ...
In analyzing the point-to-point wireless channel, insights about two qualitatively different operating regimes --bandwidth- and power-limited-- have proven indispensable in the design of good communication schemes. In this paper, we propose a new scaling l ...
We consider the Gaussian N-relay diamond network, where a source wants to communicate to a destination through a layer of N-relay nodes. We investigate the following question: What fraction of the capacity can we maintain by using only k out of the $ ...
We provide upper and lower bounds on the escape rate of the Bhattacharyya process corresponding to polar codes where transmission takes place over the the binary erasure channel. More precisely, we bound the exponent of the number of sub-channels whose Bha ...
In this paper, we give a characterization of the rate region for the degraded two message set problem, applied to a combination network with erasure channels. We also provide an algorithm that uses topological information in order to deliver the two messag ...
Arikan's 'polar coding' is a technique to achieve the symmetric capacity of binary input memoryless channels. In this talk I will attempt to describe this technique, and briefly discuss its extensions to q-ary input channels, multiple access channels and r ...
