A 5G new radio cellular system is characterized by three main usage scenarios of enhanced
mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), and …

LT-codes are a new class of codes introduced by Luby for the purpose of scalable and fault-
tolerant distribution of data over computer networks. In this paper, we introduce Raptor …

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 …

In this paper, we construct protograph-based spatially coupled low-density parity-check
(LDPC) codes by coupling together a series of L disjoint, or uncoupled, LDPC code Tanner …

Crowdsourcing systems, in which numerous tasks are electronically distributed to numerous
“information pieceworkers,” have emerged as an effective paradigm for human-powered …

Availability of higher capacity for both uplinks and downlinks is expected in the future deep-
space missions on Mars, thus enabling a large range of services that could eventually …

Extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts are a tool for predicting the convergence behavior
of iterative processors for a variety of communication problems. A model is introduced that …

An iterative decoding threshold analysis for terminated regular LDPC convolutional
(LDPCC) codes is presented. Using density evolution techniques, the convergence behavior …

This monograph describes the theory behind Raptor codes, and elucidates elements of the
processes behind the design of two of the most prominent members of this class of codes …

With the advent of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, perfect (ie, information-theoretic)
security can now be achieved for distribution of a cryptographic key. QKD systems and …
