Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted much attention over the past two
decades since they can asymptotically approach the Shannon capacity in a variety of data …

Although 4G (fourth generation) ie LTE (long term evolution) systems are now in use world-
wide. But today's 4G systems have some challenges left such as spectrum scarcity and …

This article provides an overview of the technology components and capabilities of the New
Radio (NR) radio interface standard currently under development by 3GPP. NR will enable …

We put forth new protocols for oblivious transfer extension and vector OLE, called Silver, for
SILent Vole and oblivious transfER. Silver offers extremely high performances: generating …

Information theory and inference, often taught separately, are here united in one entertaining
textbook. These topics lie at the heart of many exciting areas of contemporary science and …

We design low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes that perform at rates extremely close to
the Shannon capacity. The codes are built from highly irregular bipartite graphs with …

The topic of information theoretic security is introduced and the principal results in this area
are reviewed. The basic wire-tap channel model is considered first, and then several specific …

We propose a general method for constructing Tanner graphs having a large girth by
establishing edges or connections between symbol and check nodes in an edge-by-edge …

Fountain codes are record-breaking sparse-graph codes for channels with erasures, such
as the internet, where files are transmitted in multiple small packets, each of which is either …

In this paper, we are concerned with the finite-length analysis of low-density parity-check
(LDPC) codes when used over the binary erasure channel (BEC). The main result is an …
