Threshold Saturation via Spatial Coupling: Why Convolutional LDPC Ensembles Perform So Well over the BEC

Rüdiger Urbanke, Shrinivas Kudekar

Convolutional low-density parity-check (LDPC) ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing functions of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed ...

Polar Coding Theorems for Discrete Systems

Eren Sasoglu

Polar coding is a recently invented technique for communication over binary-input memoryless channels. This technique allows one to transmit data at rates close to the symmetric-capacity of such channels with arbitrarily high reliability, using low-complex ...

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 ...

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 ...

Polar codes for the m-user multiple access channels

Rajai Nasser

Polar codes are constructed for m-user multiple access channels (MAC) whose input alphabet size is a prime number. The block error probability under successive cancelation decoding decays exponentially with the square root of the block length. Although the ...

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 ...

Finite Block-Length Achievable Rates for Queuing Timing Channels

Thomas Riedl

The exponential server timing channel is known to be the simplest, and in some sense canonical, queuing timing channel. The capacity of this infinite-memory channel is known. Here, we discuss practical finite-length restrictions on the codewords and attemp ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rateless Codes for AVC Models

Michael Christoph Gastpar

The arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is a channel model whose state is selected maliciously by an adversary. Fixed-blocklength coding assumes a worst-case bound on the adversary's capabilities, which leads to pessimistic results. This paper defines a vari ...
