Array-Code Ensembles -or- Two-Dimensional LDPC Codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Yuval Cassuto

Probabilistic construction of codes on two-dimensional arrays is proposed and analyzed. Instead of a pure combinatorial erasure model used in traditional array codes, we propose a mixed combinatorial-probabilistic model of limiting the number of column fai ...

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 ...

Polar coding: a brief tour

Emre Telatar

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 ...

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 ...

Universal a posteriori metrics game

Emmanuel Abbé, Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Over binary input channels, uniform distribution is a universal prior, in the sense that it allows to maximize the worst case mutual information over all binary input channels, ensuring at least 94.2% of the capacity. In this paper, we address a similar qu ...

An entropy inequality for q-ary random variables and its application to channel polarization

Eren Sasoglu

It is shown that given two copies of a q-ary input channel W, where q is prime, it is possible to create two channels W- and W+ whose symmetric capacities satisfy I(W-)

Zero-Rate Feedback Can Achieve the Empirical Capacity

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The utility of limited feedback for coding over an individual sequence of discrete memoryless channels is investigated. This study complements recent results showing how limited or noisy feedback can boost the reliability of communication. A strategy with ...

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} ...

Polar codes for channel and source coding

Satish Babu Korada

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Polar codes: Characterization of exponent, bounds, and constructions

Rüdiger Urbanke, Satish Babu Korada, Eren Sasoglu

Polar codes were recently introduced by Arikan. They achieve the symmetric capacity of arbitrary binary-input discrete memoryless channels under a low complexity successive cancellation decoding strategy. The original polar code construction is closely rel ...
