Growth Codes: Intermediate Performance Analysis and Application to Video

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos, Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Growth codes are a subclass of Rateless codes that have found interesting applications in data dissemination problems. Compared to other Rateless and conventional channel codes, Growth codes show improved intermediate performance which is particularly usef ...

Universal a posteriori metrics game

Emmanuel Abbé, Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Over binary input channels, uniform distribution is a universal prior, in the sense that it allows to maximize the worst case mutual information over all binary input channels, ensuring at least 94.2% of the capacity. In this paper, we address a similar qu ...

Linear Universal Decoder for Compound Discrete Memoryless Channels

Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Shannon in his seminal work \cite{paper:shannon} formalized the framework on the problem of digital communication of information and storage. He quantified the fundamental limits of compression and transmission rates. The quantity \textit{channel capacity} ...

On the Minimum Distance of Non Binary LDPC Codes

Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Minimum distance is an important parameter of a linear error correcting code. For improved performance of binary Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, we need to have the minimum distance grow fast with n, the codelength. However, the best we can hope for ...

ON THE INEQUALITIES IN INFORMATION THEORY

Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Claude Elwood Shannon in 1948, then of the Bell Labs, published one of the ground breaking papers in the history of engineering [1]. This paper (”A Mathematical Theory of Communication”, Bell System Tech. Journal, Vol. 27, July and October 1948, pp. 379 - ...
