Abstract

Index-less Indexed Flash Code (ILIFC) is a coding scheme for flash memories, in which one bit of a data sequence is stored in a slice consisting of several cells but the index of the bit is stored implicitly. Although several modified ILIFC schemes have been proposed, in this research we consider an ILIFC with inversion cells(I-ILIFC). The I-ILIFC reduces the total number of cell level changes at each writing request. Computer simulation is used to show that the I-ILIFC improves the average performance of the ILIFC in many cases. This paper presents our derivation of the lower bounds on the number of writing operations by I-ILIFC and shows that the worst-case performance of the I-ILIFC is better than that of the ILIFC if the code length is sufficiently large. Additionally, we consider the tight lower bounds thereon. The results show that the threshold of the code length that determines whether the I-ILIFC improves the worst-case performance of the ILIFC is smaller than that in the first lower bounds.

Fundamental Scaling Laws of Covert Communication in the Presence of Block Fading

Covert communication is the undetected transmission of sensitive information over a communication channel. In wireless communication systems, channel impairments such as signal fading present challenges in the effective implementation and analysis of covert communication systems. This paper generalizes early work in the covert communication field by considering asymptotic results for the number of bits that can be covertly transmitted in $n$ channel uses on a block fading channel. Critical to the investigation is characterizing the performance of optimal detectors at the adversary. Matching achievable and converse results are presented.

Sequence Reconstruction over the Deletion Channel

In this paper, we consider the Levenshtein's sequence reconstruction problem in the case where the transmitted codeword is chosen from $\{0,1\}^n$ and the channel can delete up to $t$ symbols from the transmitted codeword. We determine the minimum number of channel outputs (assuming that they are distinct) required to reconstruct a list of size $\ell-1$ of candidate sequences, one of which corresponds to the original transmitted sequence. More specifically, we determine the maximum possible size of the intersection of $\ell \geq 3$ deletion balls of radius $t$ centered at $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_{\ell}$, where $x_i \in \{0,1\}^n$ for all $i \in \{1,2,\dots,\ell\}$ and $x_i \neq x_j$ for $i \neq j$, with $ n \geq t+\ell-1$ and $t \geq 1$.

A generalization of the map $χ$

The mapping $ χ_n:\mathbb{F}_2^n \to \mathbb{F}_2^n$ defined by $y=χ_n(x)$ with $y_i = x_i + x_{i+1}x_{i+2} + x_{i+2}$, where the indices are computed modulo $n$, has been widely studied for its application in lightweight cryptography. In this paper, we generalize this mapping and completely characterize all these shift-invariant permutations of the form $y_i=x_{i+u}+x_{i+v}(x_{i+w}+a_i)$, where $0\le u, v, w<n$ and $a_i\in \mathbb{F}_2$, $1\le i\le n$.
