Exchange of Limits: Why Iterative Decoding Works

Rüdiger Urbanke, Satish Babu Korada

We consider communication over binary-input memoryless output-symmetric channels using low-density parity-check codes and message-passing decoding. The asymptotic (in the length) performance of such a combination for a fixed number of iterations is given b ...

Degree Distribution Optimization in Raptor Network Coding

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos

We consider a multi-source delivery system, where Raptor coding at sources and linear network coding in overlay nodes work in concert for efficient data delivery in networks with diversity. Such a combination permits to increase throughput and loss resilie ...

Decay of correlations for sparse graph error correcting codes

Nicolas Macris, Shrinivas Kudekar

The subject of this paper is transmission over a general class of binary-input memoryless symmetric channels using error correcting codes based on sparse graphs, namely, low-density generator-matrix and low-density parity-check codes. The optimal (or ideal ...

Raptor Codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

This monograph describes the theory behind Raptor codes, and elucidates elements of the processes behind the design of two of the most prominent members of this class of codes: R10 and RaptorQ (RQ). R10 has already been adopted by a number of standards' bo ...

Universal Rateless Codes From Coupled LT Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Vahid Aref

It was recently shown that spatial coupling of individual low-density parity-check codes improves the belief-propagation threshold of the coupled ensemble essentially to the maximum a posteriori threshold of the underlying ensemble. We study the performanc ...

Symbol-Pair Codes: Algebraic Constructions and Asymptotic Bounds

Yuval Cassuto

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 ...

Distributed sensor failure detection in sensor networks

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos, Tamara Tosic

We investigate the problem of distributed sensors' failure detection in networks with a small number of defective sensors, whose measurements differ significantly from neighboring sensor measurements. Defective sensors are represented by non-zero values in ...

Practical code design for compute-and-forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The Compute-and-Forward approach has been proven to be very beneficial for communication over Gaussian networks. While the theoretical results are promising, it is still not completely understood how to best apply this scheme in practice. The objective of ...

Phase Transitions for Mutual Information

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Krishna Kumar, Amir Hesam Salavati, Raj Kumar Krishna Kumar

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 ...

Block copolymers and uses thereof

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Conlin O'Neil

An encoding/decoding apparatus and method using a low-density parity-check code (LDPC code) is disclosed. Basic column group information, serving as a set of information regarding positions of rows with weight 1, is extracted from a reference column in eac ...
