The Stability Condition of LDPC Codes Under MAP Decoding

We determine the stability condition of low-density parity-check codes under both bitwise and blockwise maximum a posteriori decoding. As a consequence, we prove that the stability condition determines an upper bound on both the bitwise and the blockwise m ...

Effects of erbium-doped fiber amplifier induced pump noise on soliton Kerr frequency combs for 64-quadrature amplitude modulation transmission

Tobias Kippenberg, Martin Hubert Peter Pfeiffer, Fatemeh Alishahi, Amirhossein Mohajerin Ariaei, Arne Kordts, Maxim Karpov, Ahmad Fallahpour, Lin Zhang

We experimentally investigate the effects of erbium-doped fiber amplifier induced pump noise on soliton Kerr frequency combs for 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) transmission. We find that the optical carrier-to-noise ratios (OCNRs) of the comb lin ...

Comparison of Polar Decoders with Existing Low-Density Parity-Check and Turbo Decoders

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are a recently proposed family of provably capacity-achieving error-correction codes that received a lot of attention. While their theoretical properties render them interesting, their practicality compared to other types of codes has not been ...

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, ...

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 ...

The Bethe Free Energy Allows to Compute the Conditional Entropy of Graphical Code Instances: A Proof From the Polymer Expansion

Nicolas Macris, Marc Vuffray

The main objective of this paper is to explore the precise relationship between the Bethe free energy (or entropy) and the Shannon conditional entropy of graphical error correcting codes. The main result shows that the Bethe free energy associated with a l ...

Bit-flipping LDPC under noise conditions and its application to Physically Unclonable Functions

Alexandre Schmid, Takao Marukame

A low-density parity check (LDPC) circuit and its properties as a post-processor is proposed for physically unclonable functions (PUFs) applications. PUFs can be realized using process variations or signal noises in SRAM or other PUF circuits, whereas the ...

Optimal Computational Split-state Non-malleable Codes

Divya Gupta, Divesh Aggarwal

Non-malleable codes are a generalization of classical error-correcting codes where the act of "corrupting" a codeword is replaced by a "tampering" adversary. Non-malleable codes guarantee that the message contained in the tampered codeword is either the or ...
