Achieving Marton's Region for Broadcast Channels Using Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

We present polar coding schemes for the 2-user discrete memoryless broadcast channel (DM-BC) which achieve Marton's region with both common and private messages. This is the best achievable rate region up to date, and it is tight for all classes of 2-user ...

Threshold Saturation for Spatially Coupled LDPC and LDGM Codes on BMS Channels

Nicolas Macris, Henry Pfister

Spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, which were first introduced as LDPC convolutional codes, have been shown to exhibit excellent performance under low-complexity belief-propagation decoding. This phenomenon is now termed threshold sat ...

LLR-based Successive Cancellation List Decoding of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

We present an LLR-based implementation of the successive cancellation list (SCL) decoder. To this end, we associate each decoding path with a metric which (i) is a monotone function of the path’s likelihood and (ii) can be computed efﬁciently from the chan ...

Successive Refinement of Gaussian Projections

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

Successive refinement is a technique to encode a source iteratively, improving the distortion at each step. If the code rates of all steps combined can be as efficient as coding only for the final distortion in one go, then the source is said to be success ...

Compute-and-forward for discrete memoryless networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Consider a receiver that observes multiple interfering codewords. The compute-and-forward technique makes it possible for the receiver to directly decode linear combinations of the codewords. Previous work has focused on compute-and-forward for linear Gaus ...

Generalized Codes on Graphs and Applications in Content Distribution

Masoud Alipour Babaei

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 ...

Iterative Coding for Network Coding

Rüdiger Urbanke, Andrea Montanari

We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanisms include node-or link-failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an overestimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work of Kotter and Kschi ...

Polar Codes for the Two-User Multiple-Access Channel

Emre Telatar, Eren Sasoglu

Arikan's polar coding method is extended to two-user multiple-access channels. It is shown that if the two users of the channel use Arikan's construction, the resulting channels will polarize to one of five possible extremals, on each of which uncoded tran ...

Polar coding for arbitrary DMCs

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser

Polar codes are constructed for arbitrary channels by imposing an arbitrary quasigroup structure on the input alphabet. The block error probability under successive cancellation decoding decays exponentially with the square root of the block length. It is ...

Scaling Exponent of List Decoders with Applications to Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

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 ...
