Most coding theory experts date the origin of the subject with the 1948 publication of A
Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude Shannon. Since then, coding theory has …

This paper revisits strongly-MDS convolutional codes with maximum distance profile (MDP).
These are (non-binary) convolutional codes that have an optimum sequence of column …

In this paper we present a novel coding approach to deal with the transmission of
information over a network. In particular we make use of the network several times (multi …

Convolutional codes were introduced by Peter Elias [674] in 1955. They can be seen as a
generalization of block codes. In order to motivate this generalization, consider ak× n …

In this paper we present a concrete algebraic construction of a novel class of convolutional
codes. These codes are built upon generalized Vandermonde matrices and therefore can …

The growing popularity of contact-free smart sensing has contributed to the development of
the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). The contact-free sensory data has great potential …

Convolutional codes with a maximum distance profile attain the largest possible column
distances for the maximum number of time instants and thus have outstanding error …

Maximum distance separable convolutional codes are the codes that present best
performance in error correction among all convolutional codes with certain rate and degree …

In general, the problem of building optimal convolutional codes under a certain criteria is
hard, especially when size field restrictions are applied. In this paper, we confront the …

The seminal paper of Koetter and Kschischang [11] introduced coding concepts for errors
and erasures in a random network coding setting and since then has opened a major …
