On the scaling of polar codes: II. The behavior of un-polarized channels

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani

We provide upper and lower bounds on the escape rate of the Bhattacharyya process corresponding to polar codes where transmission takes place over the the binary erasure channel. More precisely, we bound the exponent of the number of sub-channels whose Bha ...

Threshold saturation via spatial coupling: Why convolutional LDPC ensembles perform so well over the BEC

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

Convolutional LDPC ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing as a function of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed to date, all of which s ...

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 ...

Statistical physics methods for sparse graph codes

Shrinivas Kudekar

This thesis deals with the asymptotic analysis of coding systems based on sparse graph codes. The goal of this work is to analyze the decoder performance when transmitting over a general binary-input memoryless symmetric-output (BMS) channel. We consider t ...

Capacity Achieving Codes from Randomness Conductors

Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

We give a general framework for construction of small ensembles of capacity achieving linear codes for a wide range of (not necessarily memoryless) discrete symmetric channels, and in particular, the binary erasure and symmetric channels. The main tool use ...

Linear Universal Decoder for Compound Discrete Memoryless Channels

Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Shannon in his seminal work \cite{paper:shannon} formalized the framework on the problem of digital communication of information and storage. He quantified the fundamental limits of compression and transmission rates. The quantity \textit{channel capacity} ...

Non-binary LDPC codes and EXIT like functions

In the first part of this thesis we are interested in the asymptotic performance analysis of Non-Binary Low-Density Parity-Check (NBLDPC) codes over the Binary Erasure Channel (BEC) decoded via the suboptimal Belief Propagation (BP) decoder as well as the ...

Finite-length scaling of repeat-accumulate codes on the BEC

In this paper we consider the finite-length performance of Repeat-Accumulate codes in the waterfall region assuming the transmission on the binary erasure channel. We extend the finite-length scaling law of LDPC codes [1] to this ensemble and we derive the ...

Concentration of Magnetization for Linear Block Codes

Nicolas Macris, Satish Babu Korada, Shrinivas Kudekar

We consider communication over the binary erasure and the binary additive white gaussian noise channels using fixed linear block codes and also appropriate ensembles of such codes. We show concentration of the magnetization over the channel realizations an ...

Finite-Length Scaling of Parallel Turbo Codes on the BEC

In this paper we consider the finite-length performance of turbo codes in the waterfall region assuming the transmission on the binary erasure channel. We extend the finite-length scaling law of LDPC codes [1] and of Repeat-Accumulate codes [3] to this ens ...
