The problem of transmission of information over arbitrarily permuted parallel channels is studied here. The transmitter does not know over which channel a certain codesequence will...
This paper is an enquiry into the interaction between multiple description coding (MDC) and network routing. We are mainly concerned with rate-distortion optimized network flow of...
Abstract--In the bounded-storage model (BSM) for information-theoretic secure encryption and key agreement, one makes use of a random string R whose length t is greater than the as...
The performance of punctured LDPC codes under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding is studied in this paper via deriving and analyzing their average weight distributions (AWDs) and th...
This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length error-correcting codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels, and the codes...
