This paper presents lossless prefix codes optimized with respect to a pay-off criterion consisting of a convex combination of maximum codeword length and average codeword length. The optimal codeword lengths obtained are based on a new coding algorithm which transforms the initial source probability vector into a new probability vector according to a merging rule. The coding algorithm is equivalent to a partition of the source alphabet into disjoint sets on which a new transformed probability vector is defined as a function of the initial source probability vector and a scalar parameter. The pay-off criterion considered encompasses a trade-off between maximum and average codeword length; it is related to a pay-off criterion consisting of a convex combination of average codeword length and average of an exponential function of the codeword length, and to an average codeword length pay-off criterion subject to a limited length constraint. A special case of the first related pay-off is connected to coding problems involving source probability uncertainty and codeword overflow probability, while the second related pay-off compliments limited length Huffman coding algorithms.
In this paper we consider lossless source coding for a class of sources specified by the total variational distance ball centred at a fixed nominal probability distribution. The objective is to find a minimax average length source code, where the min
We prove that, for the binary erasure channel (BEC), the polar-coding paradigm gives rise to codes that not only approach the Shannon limit but do so under the best possible scaling of their block length as a~function of the gap to capacity. This res
Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are a class of spatially coupled turbo-like codes that can be described by a $(2,3)$-regular compact graph. In this paper, we introduce a family of $(d_v,d_c)$-regular GLDPC codes with convolutional code constraints
Streaming codes represent a packet-level FEC scheme for achieving reliable, low-latency communication. In the literature on streaming codes, the commonly-assumed Gilbert-Elliott channel model, is replaced by a more tractable, delay-constrained, slidi
High availability of containerized applications requires to perform robust storage of applications state. Since basic replication techniques are extremely costly at scale, storage space requirements can be reduced by means of erasure or repairing cod
