We propose a new fault tolerance metric for XOR-based erasure codes: the minimal erasures list (MEL). A minimal erasure is a set of erasures that leads to irrecoverable data loss ...
An erasure channel with a fixed alphabet size q, where q 1, is studied . It is proved that over any erasure channel (with or without memory), Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes...

—Data loss in wireless sensing applications is inevitable and while there have been many attempts at coping with this issue, recent developments in the area of Compressive Sensin...
Traditionally, a transport protocol corrects errors in a computer communication network using a simple ARQ protocol. With the arrival of broadband networks, forward error correcti...
The analysis of random coding error exponents pertaining to erasure/list decoding, due to Forney, is revisited. Instead of using Jensen’s inequality as well as some other inequa...
