This article is focused on the performance evaluation of linear codes under optimal
maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding. Though the ML decoding algorithm is prohibitively …

As one of the most classical data-storage systems, magnetic recording (MR) systems have
attracted a significant amount of research attention in the past several decades due to the …

This paper discusses construction of protograph-based low-density parity-check (LDPC)
codes. Emphasis is placed on protograph ensembles whose typical minimum distance …

In this paper, we propose coded Merkle tree (CMT), a novel hash accumulator that offers a
constant-cost protection against data availability attacks in blockchains, even if the majority …

This paper proposes protograph-based Raptor-like (PBRL) codes as a class of rate-
compatible low-density parity-check codes for binary-input AWGN channels. As with the …

Industry 5.0 is seen as the next stage of the industrial revolution. However, the centralized
management of the vast amount of data in Industry 5.0 poses significant security challenges …

Peak signal power is an important factor in the implementation of multicarrier (MC)
modulation schemes, like OFDM, in wireless and wireline communication systems. This …

Stopping sets determine the performance of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes under
iterative decoding over erasure channels. We derive several results on the asymptotic …

We derive the average weight distribution function and its asymptotic growth rate for low-
density parity-check (LDPC) code ensembles. We show that the growth rate of the minimum …

This paper investigates decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over the binary
erasure channel (BEC). We study the iterative and maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of …
