Almost Optimal Scaling of Reed-Muller Codes on BEC and BSC Channels

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Shrinivas Kudekar, Yury Polyanskiy

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 ...

Coding for Communications and Secrecy

Mani Bastaniparizi

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, ...

Polarization and Channel Ordering: Characterizations and Topological Structures

Rajai Nasser

Information theory is the field in which we study the fundamental limitations of communication. Shannon proved in 1948 that there exists a maximum rate, called capacity, at which we can reliably communicate information through a given channel. However, Sha ...

Blind detection of polar codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Pascal Giard

Polar codes were recently chosen to protect the control channel information in the next-generation mobile communication standard (5G) defined by the 3GPP. As a result, receivers will have to implement blind detection of polar coded frames in order to keep ...

From Polar to Reed-Muller Codes

Marco Mondelli

The year 2016, in which I am writing these words, marks the centenary of Claude Shannon, the father of information theory. In his landmark 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", Shannon established the largest rate at which reliable communica ...

Polar Codes for Arbitrary DMCs and Arbitrary MACs

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser

Polar codes are constructed for arbitrary channels by imposing an arbitrary quasi-group structure on the input alphabet. Just as with usual polar codes, the block error probability under successive cancellation decoding is O(2^(-N^(1/2-epsilon))), where N ...

Erasure Schemes Using Generalized Polar Codes: Zero-Undetected-Error Capacity and Performance Trade-offs

Rajai Nasser

We study the performance of generalized polar (GP) codes when they are used for coding schemes involving erasure. GP codes are a family of codes which contains, among others, the standard polar codes of Arikan and Reed-Muller codes. We derive a closed form ...

Re-proving Channel Polarization Theorems

Mine Alsan

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, ...

Achieving Marton's Region for Broadcast Channels Using Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

This paper presents polar coding schemes for the two-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 known to date, and it is tight for all clas ...
