TLDR
It is shown that the coding scheme achieves the capacity region of noiseless WOMs when an arbitrary number of multiple writes is permitted and the results can be generalized from binary to generalized WOMs, described by an arbitrary directed acyclic graph.
Abstract
A coding scheme for write once memory (WOM) using polar codes is presented. It is shown that the scheme achieves the capacity region of noiseless WOMs when an arbitrary number of multiple writes is permitted. The encoding and decoding complexities scale as O(N log N), where N is the blocklength. For N sufficiently large, the error probability decreases subexponentially in N. The results can be generalized from binary to generalized WOMs, described by an arbitrary directed acyclic graph, using nonbinary polar codes. In the derivation, we also obtain results on the typical distortion of polar codes for lossy source coding. Some simulation results with finite length codes are presented.

Improved Bounds on the Finite Length Scaling of Polar Codes

TL;DR: Improved upper bounds on the blocklength required to communicate over binary-input channels using polar codes, below some given error probability, are derived and an improved bound on the number of non-polarizing channels is obtained.

Achieving Marton’s Region for Broadcast Channels Using Polar Codes

TL;DR: This paper presents polar coding schemes for the two-user discrete memoryless broadcast channel (DM-BC) which achieve Marton’s region with both common and private messages, the best achievable rate region known to date.

Achieving Marton's Region for Broadcast Channels Using Polar Codes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed polar codes for the 2-user discrete memoryless broadcast channel (DM-BC) which achieved Marton's region with both common and private messages, and the proposed coding schemes possess the usual advantages of polar codes, i.e., they have low encoding and decoding complexity and a superpolynomial decay rate of the error probability.

Write once, get 50% free: saving SSD erase costs using WOM codes

TL;DR: Reusable SSD is presented, in which invalid pages are reused for additional writes, without modifying the drive's exported storage capacity or page size, and the design achieves latency equivalent to a regular write.

Channel Polarization: A Method for Constructing Capacity-Achieving Codes for Symmetric Binary-Input Memoryless Channels

TL;DR: The paper proves that, given any B-DMC W with I(W) > 0 and any target rate R< I( W) there exists a sequence of polar codes {Cfrn;nges1} such that Cfrn has block-length N=2n, rate ges R, and probability of block error under successive cancellation decoding bounded as Pe(N,R) les O(N-1/4) independently of the code rate.

List decoding of polar codes

TL;DR: It appears that the proposed list decoder bridges the gap between successive-cancellation and maximum-likelihood decoding of polar codes, and devise an efficient, numerically stable, implementation taking only O(L · n log n) time and O( L · n) space.

On the rate of channel polarization

TL;DR: It is shown that, for any binary-input discrete memoryless channel W with symmetric capacity I(W) and any rate R ≪I(W), the polar-coding block-error probability under successive cancellation decoding satisfies Pe(N, R) ≤ 2−Nβ for any β ≪ 1/2 when the block-length N is large enough.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for any binary-input discrete memoryless channel with symmetric capacity, the probability of block decoding error for polar coding under successive cancellation decoding satisfies O(P_e \le 2 √ n 2 −N^\beta) for any ε > 0 when the block length is large enough.

Polarization for arbitrary discrete memoryless channels

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when the input alphabet size is a prime number, a similar construction to that for the binary case leads to polarization, and that all discrete memo-ryless channels can be polarized by randomized constructions.
