From Polar to Reed-Muller Codes : Unified Scaling, Non-standard Channels, and a Proven Conjecture

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 ...

Hardware implementation aspects of polar decoders and ultra high-speed LDPC decoders

Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

The goal of channel coding is to detect and correct errors that appear during the transmission of information. In the past few decades, channel coding has become an integral part of most communications standards as it improves the energy-efficiency of tran ...

Re-proving Channel Polarization Theorems : An Extremality and Robustness Analysis

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, ...

Enabling Complexity-Performance Trade-Offs for Successive Cancellation Decoding of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Georgios Karakonstantis, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

Polar codes are one of the most recent advancements in coding theory and they have attracted significant interest. While they are provably capacity achieving over various channels, they have seen limited practical applications. Unfortunately, the successiv ...

EXIT-based Side Information Refinement in Wyner-Ziv Video Coding

Pascal Frossard, Yiqiang Chen

The accuracy of the side information (SI) is critical in the performance of distributed video coding algorithms. The SI is typically built at a decoder based on the reconstructed data and on channel coding parity bits transmitted by the encoder. The optima ...

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 ...

Rate allocation and optimized decoding in inter-session network coding

Eirina Bourtsoulatze

Recent advances in data processing and communication systems have led to a continuous increase in the amount of data communicated over today’s networks. These large volumes of data pose new challenges on the current networking infrastructure that only offe ...

Polar Codes For Broadcast Channels

Emmanuel Abbé, Michael Christoph Gastpar, Naveen Goela

Building on polar code constructions proposed by the authors for deterministic broadcast channels, two theorems are introduced in the present paper for noisy two-user broadcast channels. The theorems establish polar code constructions for two important ...

Invertible Extractors and Wiretap Protocols

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Mahdi Cheraghchi Bashi Astaneh

A wiretap protocol is a pair of randomized encoding and decoding functions such that knowledge of a bounded fraction of the encoding of a message reveals essentially no information about the message, while knowledge of the entire encoding reveals the messa ...
