Shannon, in his landmark 1948 paper, developed a framework for characterizing the fundamental limits of information transmission. Among other results, he showed that reliable communication over a channel is possible at any rate below its capacity. In 2008, ...
We study the extremality of the binary erasure channel and the binary symmetric channel for Gallager's reliability function E-0 of binary input discrete memoryless channels evaluated under the uniform input distribution from the aspect of channel polarizat ...

Polar codes are an exciting new class of error correcting codes that achieve the symmetric capacity of memoryless channels. Many decoding algorithms were developed and implemented, addressing various application requirements: from error-correction performa ...
Consider a binary linear code of length N, minimum distance d(min), transmission over the binary erasure channel with parameter 0 < epsilon < 1 or the binary symmetric channel with parameter 0 < epsilon < 1/2, and block-MAP decoding. It was shown by Tillic ...
The general subject considered in this thesis is a recently discovered coding technique, polar coding, which is used to construct a class of error correction codes with unique properties. In his ground-breaking work, Arikan proved that this class of codes, ...
Using an age of information (AoI) metric, we examine the transmission of coded updates through a binary erasure channel to a monitor/receiver. %Coded redundancy is employed to ensure the timely delivery of codupdate packets. We start by deriving the averag ...
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 ...

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 coding is a recently invented technique for communication over binary-input memoryless channels. This technique allows one to transmit data at rates close to the symmetric-capacity of such channels with arbitrarily high reliability, using low-complex ...

The contribution of this thesis is twofold. In the first part, we generalize and analyze two classes of error correcting codes: LDPC codes and product codes. We generalize graphical codes by considering checks being arbitrary codes instead of single pariti ...
