Final Report Abstract

In this proposal, we design constructions of rate-compatible families of codes based on puncturing PCs. To overcome the length restrictions imposed by their standard construction, we explore novel approaches, both striving for optimal solutions, as well as devising efficient heuristics. Facilitating a low-complexity encoder and decoder structure is a design goal of paramount interest, enabling competitive performance in latencyconstrained environments. Applications for the families of codes constructed in this proposal are found in relay systems, UAV communications, as well as in physical layer security.
