Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized the transmission of data over a communication channel and determined its fundamental limits. He characterized the relation between communication rate and error probability and showed that as long as the communicatio ...
We consider the problem of determining the tradeoff between the rate and the block-length of polar codes for a given block error probability when we use the successive cancellation decoder. We take the sum of the Bhattacharyya parameters as a proxy for the ...
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 Weil-Barner explicit formula is applied to the prime counting function and to the problem of numerical partial verification of the Riemann hypothesis. ...
In this paper, a polar code for the m-user multiple access channel (MAC) with binary inputs is constructed. In particular, Arıkan’s polarization technique applied individually to each user will polarize any m-user binary input MAC into a finite collection ...
In this paper we show that mismatched polar codes over symmetric B-DMCs symmetrized under the same permutation can achieve rates of at least I (W, V) bits whenever I (W, V) > 0, where W denotes the communication channel, V the mismatched channel used in th ...
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 ...

Polar codes are constructed for m-user multiple access channels (MAC) whose input alphabet size is a prime number. The block error probability under successive cancelation decoding decays exponentially with the square root of the block length. Although the ...
Convolutional low-density parity-check (LDPC) ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing functions of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed ...
We consider ensembles of binary linear error correcting codes, obtained by sampling each column of the generator matrix G or parity check matrix H independently from the set of all binary vectors of weight d (of appropriate dimension). We investigate the c ...
