요약This dissertation investigates communication over the binary symmetric channel with noiseless feedback of the received symbols from the decoder to the encoder. The binary symmetric channel receives as input a binary symbol, and produces as output also a binary symbol, that may be different to the input symbol. The channel is symmetric in the sense that the probability that the output symbol is not equal to the input symbol is the same for both input symbols. The general communication problem consists of reliably relaying a message from a source (where it is generated) to a destination (where it is needed) while using the least possible system resources. Reliability in this case is defined as a small error probability--the probability that the message at the destination differs from that at the source. System resources include forward channel symbol transmissions, encoder and decoder complexity, and possibly other resources that may be associated with a cost, like the number of times the feedback channel is accessed for a feedback transmission. The system operates as follows: the source delivers its message to an encoder, that computes channel input symbols; the channel produces output symbols that are noisy versions of the input symbols; a decoder uses channel output symbols to compute an estimate of the message at the encoder; and a noiseless feedback channel delivers the output symbols to the encoder, which affords the encoder all the information available to the decoder. The objectives of this dissertations are (1) to design encoding methods that can be implemented in simulations; (2) explore simplifications that make the implementations more efficient; (3) analyze the expected rate that can be achieved with all the proposed encoding methods, including the simplifications; (4) analyze converse bounds, the lowest rates that cannot be achieved with the system while satisfying an error probability constraint; and (5) explore communication with additional constraints, like source causality constraints and feedback sparsity constraints.Chapter 1 lays out the background and motivation of the research problems studied in this dissertation, and summarizes previous results and about related problems. Then, Chapter 1 briefly summarizes the contents of each Chapter.Chapter 2 provides efficient algorithms and a simulation framework that implements previously proposed encoders as well as new ones. Simulation results validate previous achievability bounds and motivate tighter achievability bounds. Chapter 2 also proposes a simpler encoding rule, that greatly lowers the runtime and memory complexity, and exhibits a rate performance indistinguishable from the encoders with the highest existing achievability bounds. The performance of the new encoder is further analyzed in Chapter 3.Chapter 3 demonstrates a new analysis of the expected block-length needed to transmit a fixed length information sequence with bounded error probability. The new analysis relaxes the sufficient encoding constraints that guarantee an expected rate performance above the highest achievability bounds previously developed for the model. To tighten an upper bound on expected time, analyzed for the first phase of a two-phase process, this chapter proposes an analysis of a ``surrogate process,'' for which a tighter bound can be shown. The ``surrogate process'' is carefully constructed from the original process, so that its decoding time upper bounds that of the original process. This property guarantees that the tighter bound on the ``surrogate process'' applies to the original, and results in a significantly higher achievability bound. The bounds are tightened further by jointly optimizing both phases of the two-phase analysis used to obtain the original bounds. A proof that the simple encoder of Ch. 2 satisfies the relaxed constraints is provided. Chapter 3 then proposes a converse bound, an upper bound on the highest expected rate that is achievable by an encoder that enforces the stopping rule used by the proposed encoders.Chapter 4 extends the study of feedback codes over the binary symmetric channel to the ``causal encoding'' setting, where the source information sequence becomes progressively available during transmission instead of the traditional setting where the entire source sequence is available before transmission begins. In ``causal encoding'' the encoder seeks to minimize the average decoding delay under the same frame error rate constraint considered in Ch. 2 and Ch. 3. The sub-block combining algorithm is proposed as a ``causal encoder,'' that starts the transmission with a segment of the information sequence, and adds new segments as they become available. The chapter identifies lower bounds on expected decoding times imposed by the channel and the source, as well as the region where a causal encoder may outperform existing non-causal encoders. Simulation results are provided to show that the sub-block combining algorithm outperforms, in average decoding time, non-causal encoders, in their original form, and with natural modifications that make them better ``causal encoders'' under certain conditions. The performance of the sub-block combining algorithm is further improved using a method that analyzes optimized block sizes for the specific operating point, set by the source and channel symbol rates.Chapter 5 studies the ``sparse feedback'' setting where feedback symbols are only available to the transmitter at sparse time instances, instead of being available before the transmission of each symbol. A new encoding rule is introduced, that also satisfies the relaxed constraints proposed in Ch. 3. Then the ``look-ahead algorithm'' is proposed, to satisfy the encoding constraints for a few transmissions in advance, without additional feedback. Simulation results show that the ``look-ahead algorithm'' admits average feedback delay that increases with message length, from slightly above one transmission at a message length of about ten bites, to about five to six when the message size reaches 80 bits. The sub-block combining algorithm of Ch. 4 is modified to operate on several blocks simultaneously and used as a sparse feedback encoder. This algorithm exhibits much lower complexity, which makes it suitable for message sizes of up to a few hundred bits, that are not possible with the look-ahead algorithm.Chapter 6 provides the conclusions of this dissertation, and highlights future research directions.

■520    ▼aThis  dissertation  investigates  communication  over  the  binary  symmetric  channel  with  noiseless  feedback  of  the  received  symbols  from  the  decoder  to  the  encoder.  The  binary  symmetric  channel  receives  as  input  a  binary  symbol,  and  produces  as  output  also  a  binary  symbol,  that  may  be  different  to  the  input  symbol.  The  channel  is  symmetric  in  the  sense  that  the  probability  that  the  output  symbol  is  not  equal  to  the  input  symbol  is  the  same  for  both  input  symbols.  The  general  communication  problem  consists  of  reliably  relaying  a  message  from  a  source  (where  it  is  generated)  to  a  destination  (where  it  is  needed)  while  using  the  least  possible  system  resources.  Reliability  in  this  case  is  defined  as  a  small  error  probability--the  probability  that  the  message  at  the  destination  differs  from  that  at  the  source.  System  resources  include  forward  channel  symbol  transmissions,  encoder  and  decoder  complexity,  and  possibly  other  resources  that  may  be  associated  with  a  cost,  like  the  number  of  times  the  feedback  channel  is  accessed  for  a  feedback  transmission.  The  system  operates  as  follows:  the  source  delivers  its  message  to  an  encoder,  that  computes  channel  input  symbols;  the  channel  produces  output  symbols  that  are  noisy  versions  of  the  input  symbols;  a  decoder  uses  channel  output  symbols  to  compute  an  estimate  of  the  message  at  the  encoder;  and  a  noiseless  feedback  channel  delivers  the  output  symbols  to  the  encoder,  which  affords  the  encoder  all  the  information  available  to  the  decoder.  The  objectives  of  this  dissertations  are  (1)  to  design  encoding  methods  that  can  be  implemented  in  simulations;  (2)  explore  simplifications  that  make  the  implementations  more  efficient;  (3)  analyze  the  expected  rate  that  can  be  achieved  with  all  the  proposed  encoding  methods,  including  the  simplifications;  (4)  analyze  converse  bounds,  the  lowest  rates  that  cannot  be  achieved  with  the  system  while  satisfying  an  error  probability  constraint;  and  (5)  explore  communication  with  additional  constraints,  like  source  causality  constraints  and  feedback  sparsity  constraints.Chapter  1  lays  out  the  background  and  motivation  of  the  research  problems  studied  in  this  dissertation,  and  summarizes  previous  results  and  about  related  problems.  Then,  Chapter  1  briefly  summarizes  the  contents  of  each  Chapter.Chapter  2  provides  efficient  algorithms  and  a  simulation  framework  that  implements  previously  proposed  encoders  as  well  as  new  ones.  Simulation  results  validate  previous  achievability  bounds  and  motivate  tighter  achievability  bounds.  Chapter  2  also  proposes  a  simpler  encoding  rule,  that  greatly  lowers  the  runtime  and  memory  complexity,  and  exhibits  a  rate  performance  indistinguishable  from  the  encoders  with  the  highest  existing  achievability  bounds.  The  performance  of  the  new  encoder  is  further  analyzed  in  Chapter  3.Chapter  3  demonstrates  a  new  analysis  of  the  expected  block-length  needed  to  transmit  a  fixed  length  information  sequence  with  bounded  error  probability.  The  new  analysis  relaxes  the  sufficient  encoding  constraints  that  guarantee  an  expected  rate  performance  above  the  highest  achievability  bounds  previously  developed  for  the  model.  To  tighten  an  upper  bound  on  expected  time,  analyzed  for  the  first  phase  of  a  two-phase  process,  this  chapter  proposes  an  analysis  of  a  ``surrogate  process,''  for  which  a  tighter  bound  can  be  shown.  The  ``surrogate  process''  is  carefully  constructed  from  the  original  process,  so  that  its  decoding  time  upper  bounds  that  of  the  original  process.  This  property  guarantees  that  the  tighter  bound  on  the  ``surrogate  process''  applies  to  the  original,  and  results  in  a  significantly  higher  achievability  bound.  The  bounds  are  tightened  further  by  jointly  optimizing  both  phases  of  the  two-phase  analysis  used  to  obtain  the  original  bounds.  A  proof  that  the  simple  encoder  of  Ch.  2  satisfies  the  relaxed  constraints  is  provided.  Chapter  3  then  proposes  a  converse  bound,  an  upper  bound  on  the  highest  expected  rate  that  is  achievable  by  an  encoder  that  enforces  the  stopping  rule  used  by  the  proposed  encoders.Chapter  4  extends  the  study  of  feedback  codes  over  the  binary  symmetric  channel  to  the  ``causal  encoding''  setting,  where  the  source  information  sequence  becomes  progressively  available  during  transmission  instead  of  the  traditional  setting  where  the  entire  source  sequence  is  available  before  transmission  begins.  In  ``causal  encoding''  the  encoder  seeks  to  minimize  the  average  decoding  delay  under  the  same  frame  error  rate  constraint  considered  in  Ch.  2  and  Ch.  3.  The  sub-block  combining  algorithm  is  proposed  as  a  ``causal  encoder,''  that  starts  the  transmission  with  a  segment  of  the  information  sequence,  and  adds  new  segments  as  they  become  available.  The  chapter  identifies  lower  bounds  on  expected  decoding  times  imposed  by  the  channel  and  the  source,  as  well  as  the  region  where  a  causal  encoder  may  outperform  existing  non-causal  encoders.  Simulation  results  are  provided  to  show  that  the  sub-block  combining  algorithm  outperforms,  in  average  decoding  time,  non-causal  encoders,  in  their  original  form,  and  with  natural  modifications  that  make  them  better  ``causal  encoders''  under  certain  conditions.  The  performance  of  the  sub-block  combining  algorithm  is  further  improved  using  a  method  that  analyzes  optimized  block  sizes  for  the  specific  operating  point,  set  by  the  source  and  channel  symbol  rates.Chapter  5  studies  the  ``sparse  feedback''  setting  where  feedback  symbols  are  only  available  to  the  transmitter  at  sparse  time  instances,  instead  of  being  available  before  the  transmission  of  each  symbol.  A  new  encoding  rule  is  introduced,  that  also  satisfies  the  relaxed  constraints  proposed  in  Ch.  3.  Then  the  ``look-ahead  algorithm''  is  proposed,  to  satisfy  the  encoding  constraints  for  a  few  transmissions  in  advance,  without  additional  feedback.  Simulation  results  show  that  the  ``look-ahead  algorithm''  admits  average  feedback  delay  that  increases  with  message  length,  from  slightly  above  one  transmission  at  a  message  length  of  about  ten  bites,  to  about  five  to  six  when  the  message  size  reaches  80  bits.  The  sub-block  combining  algorithm  of  Ch.  4  is  modified  to  operate  on  several  blocks  simultaneously  and  used  as  a  sparse  feedback  encoder.  This  algorithm  exhibits  much  lower  complexity,  which  makes  it  suitable  for  message  sizes  of  up  to  a  few  hundred  bits,  that  are  not  possible  with  the  look-ahead  algorithm.Chapter  6  provides  the  conclusions  of  this  dissertation,  and  highlights  future  research  directions.
