  1. K.A. Schouhamer Immink and J.H. Weber, 'Minimum Pearson distance detection in the presence of low-frequency colored noise and interference', Submitted to IEEE Trans. on Communications, March 2021.
    Abstract - Communications systems can be hampered by unwanted low-frequency signals of unknown amplitude and frequency added to the sent signal. Traditionally, high-pass filtering and/or balanced codes have been applied in order to attenuate the effects of spurious low-frequency disturbances. High-pass filtering may lead to inter-symbol interference, which, in turn, may lead to a serious degradation of the error performance, and balanced codes are expensive in terms of required redundancy. We investigate and present alternative coding and detection methods for the channel hampered by additive low-frequency colored noise or jamming signals of unknown amplitude and frequency. We show that Pearson-distance-based detection instead of prior art Euclidean-distance-based detection may significantly improve the error performance when the channel is perturbed by slowly varying disturbances of unknown amplitude and wave shape.
  2. T.T. Nguyen, K. Cai, and K.A. Schouhamer Immink, 'Efficient Design of Subblock Energy-Constrained Codes and Sliding Window-Constrained Codes', Submitted to IEEE Trans. on Inform. Theory, July 2020.
    Abstract - The subblock energy-constrained codes (SECCs) and sliding window-constrained codes (SWCCs) have recently attracted attention due to various applications in communication systems such as simultaneous energy and information transfer. In a SECC, each codeword is divided into smaller non-overlapping windows, called subblocks, and every subblock is constrained to carry sufficient energy. In an SWCC, however, the energy constraint is enforced over every window. In this work, we focus on the binary channel, where sufficient energy is achieved theoretically by using relatively high weight codes, and study SECCs and SWCCs under more general constraints, namely bounded SECCs and bounded SWCCs. We propose two methods to construct such codes with low redundancy and linear-time complexity, based on Knuth’s balancing technique and sequence replacement technique. These methods can be further extended to construct SECCs and SWCCs. For certain codes parameters, our methods incur only one redundant bit. We also impose the minimum distance constraint for error correction capability of the designed codes, which helps to reduce the error propagation during decoding as well.

    Abstract - In this work, given n, p > 0, efficient encoding/decoding algorithms are presented for mapping arbitrary data to and from n x n binary arrays in which the weight of every row and every column is at most pn. Such constraint, referred as p-bounded-weight- constraint, is crucial for reducing the parasitic currents in the crossbar resistive memory arrays, and has also been proposed for certain applications in the area of holographic memory in optical storage. While low-complexity designs have been proposed in the literature for only the case p = 1/2, this work provides an efficient coding scheme that works for arbitrary values of p. The coding rate of our proposed encoder approaches the channel capacity for all p, particularly when p = 1/2, we are able to reduce the redundancy of the best known encoder in the literature by at leasttheta(n) bits.

    Abstract - We investigate a new approach for designing spectral shaping block codes with a target spectrum, H_t(f), that has been specified at a plurality of frequencies. We analyze the probability density function of the spectral power density function of uncoded n-symbol bipolar codewords. We present estimates of the redundancy and the spectrum of spectral shaping codes with specified target spectral densities H_t(f_i) at frequencies f_i. Constructions of low-redundancy codes with suppressed low-frequency content are presented that compare favorably with conventional dc-balanced codes currently used in data transmission and data storage devices with applications in consumer electronics.

    Abstract - We propose coding techniques that simultaneously limit the length of homopolymer runs, ensure the GC-content constraint, and are capable of correcting a single edit error in strands of nucleotides in DNA-based data storage systems. In particular, for given l, eps>0, we propose simple and efficient encoders/decoders that transform binary sequences into DNA base sequences(codewords), namely sequences of the symbols A, T, C, and G, that satisfy all of the following properties: Runlength constraint: the maximum homopolymer run in each codeword is at most l, GC-content constraint: the GC-content of each codeword is within[0.5-eps,0.5 +eps], Error-correction: each codeword is capable of correcting a single deletion, or single insertion, or single substitution error. While various combinations of these properties have been considered in the literature, this work provides generalizations of codesconstructions that satisfy all the properties with arbitrary parameters of`and. Furthermore, for practical values of`and, we show that our encoders achieve higher rates than existing results in the literature and approach capacity. Our methods have low encoding/decoding complexity and limited error propagation.

    Abstract - In many channels, the transmitted signals do not only face noise, but offset mismatch as well. In the prior art, maximum likelihood (ML) decision criteria have already been developed for noisy channels suffering from signal independent offset . In this paper, such ML criterion is considered for the case of binary signals suffering from Gaussian noise and signal dependent offset . The signal dependency of the offset signifies that it may differ for distinct signal levels, i.e., the offset experienced by the zeroes in a transmitted codeword is not necessarily the same as the offset for the ones. Besides the ML criterion itself, also an option to reduce the complexity is considered. Further, a brief performance analysis is provided, confirming the superiority of the newly developed ML decoder over classical decoders based on the Euclidean or Pearson distances.

    Abstract - Energy-harvesting sliding-window constrained block codes guarantee that within any prescribed window of l consecutive bits the constrained sequence has at least t, t=1, 1’s. Prior art code design methods build upon the finite-state machine description of the (l,t) constraint, but as the number of states equals l choose t, a code design becomes prohibitively complex for mounting l and t. We present a new block code construction that circumvents the enumeration of codewords using a finite-state description of the (l,t)-constraint. The codewords of the block code are encoded and decoded using a single look-up table. For (l=4,t=2), the new block codes are maximal, that is, they have the largest possible number of codewords for its parameters.

    Abstract - The process of DNA-based data storage (DNA storage for short) can be mathematically modelled as a communication channel, termed DNA storage channel, whose inputs and outputs are sets of unordered sequences. To design error correcting codes for DNA storage channel, a new metric, termed the sequence-subset distance, is introduced, which generalizes the Hamming distance to a distance function defined between any two sets of unordered vectors and helps to establish a uniform framework to design error correcting codes for DNA storage channel. We further introduce a family of error correcting codes, referred to as sequence-subset codes, for DNA storage and show that the error-correcting ability of such codes is completely determined by their minimum distance. We derive some upper bounds on the size of the sequence-subset codes including a tight bound for a special case, a Singleton-like bound and a Plotkin-like bound. We also propose some constructions, including an optimal construction for that special case, which imply lower bounds on the size of such codes.

    Abstract - Maximum likelihood (ML) decision criteria have been developed for channels suffering from signal independent offset mismatch. Here, such criteria are considered for signal dependent offset, which means that the value of the offset may differ for distinct signal levels rather than being the same for all levels. An ML decision criterion is derived, assuming uniform distributions for both the noise and the offset. In particular, for the proposed ML decoder, bounds are determined on the standard deviations of the noise and the offset which lead to a word error rate equal to zero. Simulation results are presented confirming the findings.

In this paper, we first propose coding techniques for DNA-based data storage which account the maximum homopolymer runlength and the GC-content.
    Abstract - In particular, for arbitrary l,e>0, we propose simple and efficient (l,e)-constrained encoders that transform binary sequences into DNA base sequences (codewords), that satisfy the following properties: · Runlength constraint: the maximum homopolymer run in each codeword is at most l, · GC-content constraint: the GC-content of each codeword is within [0.5-e, 0.5+e]. For practical values of l and e, our codes achieve higher rates than the existing results in the literature. We further design efficient (l, e)-constrained codes with error-correction capability. Specifically, the designed codes satisfy the runlength constraint, the GC-content constraint, and can correct a single edit (i.e. a single deletion, insertion, or substitution) and its variants. To the best of our knowledge, no such codes are constructed prior to this work.

    Abstract - We study properties and constructions of constrained binary codes that enable simultaneous energy and information transfer. We specifically study sliding-window constrained codes that guarantee that within any prescribed window of l consecutive bits the constrained sequence has at least t, t > 1, 1's. We present a K-state source, K = l choose t, that models the (l, t) sliding-window constraint. We compute the information capacity of sliding-window (l, t)-constrained sequences. We design efficient coding techniques for translating source data into sliding-window (l, t)-constrained sequences.

    Abstract - Decoders minimizing the Euclidean distance between the received word and the candidate codewords are known to be optimal for channels suffering from Gaussian noise. However, when the stored or transmitted signals are also corrupted by an unknown offset, other decoders may perform better. In particular, applying the Euclidean distance on normalized words makes the decoding result independent of the offset. The use of this distance measure calls for alternative code design criteria in order to get good performance in the presence of both noise and offset. In this context, various adapted versions of classical binary block codes are proposed, such as (i) cosets of linear codes, (ii) (unions of) constant weight codes, and (iii) unordered codes. It is shown that considerable performance improvements can be achieved, particularly when the offset is large compared to the noise.

    Abstract - We describe properties and constructions of constraint-based codes for DNA-based data storage which account for the maximum repetition length and AT/GC balance. Generating functions and approximations are presented for computing the number of sequences with maximum repetition length and AT/GC balance constraint. We describe routines for translating binary runlength limited and/or balanced strings into DNA strands, and compute the efficiency of such routines. Expressions for the redundancy of codes that account for both the maximum repetition length and AT/GC balance are derived.

    Abstract - We report on the feasibility of k-means clustering techniques for the dynamic threshold detection of encoded q-ary symbols transmitted over a noisy channel with partially unknown channel parameters. We first assess the performance of k-means clustering technique without dedicated constrained coding. We apply constrained codes which allows a wider range of channel uncertainties so improving the detection reliability.

    Abstract - We propose coding techniques that limit the length of homopolymers runs, ensure the GC-content constraint, and are capable of correcting a single edit error in strands of nucleotides in DNA-based data storage systems. In particular, for given ell, epsilon>0, we propose simple and efficient encoders/decoders that transform binary sequences into DNA base sequences (codewords), namely sequences of the symbols A, T, C and G, that satisfy the following properties: (i) Runlength constraint: the maximum homopolymer run in each codeword is at most ell, (ii) GC-content constraint: the GC-content of each codeword is within [0.5-epsilon, 0.5+epsilon], (iii) Error-correction: each codeword is capable of correcting a single deletion, or single insertion, or single substitution error. For practical values of ell and epsilon, we show that our encoders achieve much higher rates than existing results in the literature and approach the capacity. Our methods have low encoding/decoding complexity and limited error propagation.

  18. K.A. Schouhamer Immink, 'A New DC-free Runlength Limited Coding Method for Data Transmission and Recording', IEEE Trans. on Consumer Electronics, vol. 65, Issue 4, pp. 502-505, Nov. 2019, doi: 10.1109/TCE.2019.2932795
    Abstract - This paper describes a new coding method based on binary (d, k) runlength constraints used for recording or transmitting an audio or video signal, computer data, etc. Data words of m bits are translated into codewords of n bits using a conversion table. The codewords satisfy a (d, k) runlength constraint in which at least d and not more than k '0's occur between consecutive '1's. The n-bit codewords alternate with p-bit merging words which in the prior art are selected such that the d and k are satisfied at the borders of consecutive codewords. We present a new coding method, where the codewords obey the (d, k)-constraint, but the merging words are not required to obey the (d)-constraint. The merging word that satisfies said conditions, yielding the lowest low-frequency spectral content of the encoded signal obtained after modulo-2 integration, is selected. The spectral performance of the new coding method has been appraised by computer simulations for the EFM (Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation) parameters, d = 2, k = 10, and p = 3. The low-frequency content of the signal generated by the newly presented coding method is around 4 dB lower in the relevant low-frequency range than that generated by the conventional EFM method.

    Abstract - We analyze codes for DNA-based data storage which accounts for the maximum homopolymer repetition length and GC-AT balance. We present a new precoding method for translating words with a maximum run of k zeros into words with a maximum homopolymer run m = k + 1, which is atractive for securing GC-AT balance. Generating functions are presented for enumerating the number of n-symbol k-constrained codewords of given GC-AT balance Various efficient constructions are presented of block codes that satisfy a combined balance and maximum homopolymer run.

We present algorithms for computing the number of sequences with maximum repetition length and AT balance constraint. We present efficient routines for translating binary runlength limited and/or balanced strings into DNA strands. We show that the implementation of AT-balanced codes is straightforwardly accomplished with binary balanced codes. We present codes that accounts for both the maximum repetition length and AT balance.

    Abstract - We apply the central limit theorem for deriving approximations to the auto-correlation function and power density function (spectrum) of second-order spectral null (dc^2-balanced) codes. We show that the auto-correlation function of dc^2-balanced codes can be accurately approximated by a cubic function. We compare the approximate auto-correlation function and spectrum with the exact auto-correlation function and spectrum of full set dc^2-balanced codes. We show that the difference between the approximate and exact spectrum is less than 0.04 dB for codeword length n = 256. We compare the spectral performance of dc-balanced versus dc^2-balanced codes in the low-frequency range.

    Abstract - We investigate machine learning based on clustering techniques that are suitable for the detection of encoded strings of q-ary symbols transmitted over a noisy channel with partially unknown characteristics. We consider the detection of the q-ary data as a classification problem, where objects are recognized from a corrupted vector, which is obtained by an unknown corruption process. We first evaluate the error performance of k-means clustering technique without constrained coding. Secondly, we apply constrained codes that create an environment that improves the detection reliability and it allows a wider range of channel uncertainties.

    Abstract - We consider the transmission and storage of data that use coded symbols over a channel, where a Pearson-distance based detector is used for achieving resilience against unknown channel gain and offset, and corruption with additive noise. We discuss properties of binary Pearson codes, such as the Pearson noise distance that plays a key role in the error performance of Pearson-distance-based detection. We also compare the Pearson noise distance to the well-known Hamming distance, since the latter plays a similar role in the error performance of Euclidean distance- based detection.

    Abstract - This paper presents novel soft-decision decoding (SDD) of error correction codes (ECCs) that substantially improve the reliability of DNA-based data storage system compared with conventional hard-decision decoding (HDD). We propose a simplified system model for DNA-based data storage according to the major characteristics and different types of errors associated with the prevailing DNA synthesis and sequencing technologies. We compute analytically the error-free probability of each sequenced DNA oligo nucleotide (oligo), based on which the soft-decision log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of each oligo can be derived. We apply the proposed SDD algorithms to the DNA Fountain scheme which achieves the highest information density so far in the literature. Simulation results show that SDD achieves an error rate improvement of two to three orders of magnitude over HDD, thus demonstrating its potential to improve the information density of DNA-based data storage systems.

    Abstract - Besides the omnipresent noise, other important inconveniences in communication and storage systems are formed by gain and/or offset mismatches. In the prior art, a maximum likelihood (ML) decision criterion has already been developed for Gaussian noise channels suffering from unknown gain and offset mismatches. Here, such criteria are considered for Gaussian noise channels suffering from either an unknown offset or an unknown gain. Furthermore, ML decision criteria are derived when assuming a Gaussian or uniform distribution for the offset in the absence of gain mismatch.

    Abstract - We consider the transmission and storage of encoded strings of symbols over a noisy channel, where dynamic threshold detection is proposed for achieving resilience against unknown scaling and offset of the received signal. We derive simple rules for dynamically estimating the unknown scale (gain) and offset. The estimates of the actual gain and offset so obtained are used to adjust the threshold levels or to re-scale the received signal within its regular range. Then, the re-scaled signal, brought into its standard range, can be forwarded to the final detection/decoding system, where optimum use can be made of the distance properties of the code by applying, for example, the Chase algorithm. A worked example of a spin-torque transfer magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) with an application to an extended (72, 64) Hamming code is described, where the retrieved signal is perturbed by additive Gaussian noise and unknown gain or offset.

    Abstract - We investigate a Knuth-like scheme for balancing q-ary codewords, which has the virtue that look-up tables for coding and decoding the prefix are avoided by using precoding and error correction techniques. We show how the scheme can be extended to allow for error correction of single channel errors using a fast decoding algorithm that depends on syndromes only, making it considerably faster compared to the prior art exhaustive decoding strategy. A comparison between the new and prior art schemes, both in terms of redundancy and error performance, completes the study.

    Abstract - We consider coding techniques that limit the lengths of homopolymer runs in strands of nucleotides used in DNA-based mass data storage systems. We compute the maximum number of user bits that can be stored per nucleotide when a maximum homopolymer runlength constraint is imposed. We describe simple and efficient implementations of coding techniques that avoid the occurrence of long homopolymers, and the rates of the constructed codes are close to the theoretical maximum. The proposed sequence replacement method for k-constrained q-ary data yields a significant improvement in coding redundancy than the prior art sequence replacement method for the k-constrained binary data. Using a simple transformation, standard binary maximum runlength limited sequences can be transformed into maximum runlength limited q-ary sequences which opens the door to applying the vast prior art binary code constructions to DNA-based storage.

    Abstract - This paper proposes systematic code design methods for constructing efficient spectrum shaping codes with the maximum runlength limited constraint k, which are widely used in data storage systems for digital consumer electronics products. Through shaping the spectrum of the input user data sequence, the codes can effectively circumvent the interaction between the data signal and servo signal in high-density data storage systems. In particular, we first propose novel methods to design high-rate k constrained codes in the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format, which can not only facilitate timing recovery of the storage system, but also avoid error propagation during decoding and reduce the system complexity. We further propose to combine the Guided Scrambling (GS) technique with the k constrained code design methods to construct highly efficient spectrum shaping k constrained codes. Simulation results demonstrate that the designed codes can achieve significant spectrum shaping effect with only around 1% code rate loss and reasonable computational complexity.

    Abstract - We present composition check codes for noisy storage and transmission channels with unknown gain and/or offset. In the proposed composition check code, like in systematic error correcting codes, the encoding of the main data into a constant composition code is completely avoided. To the main data, a coded label is appended that carries information regarding the composition vector of the main data. Slepian's optimal detection technique of codewords that are taken from a constant composition code is applied for detection. A first Slepian detector detects the label and subsequently restores the composition vector of the main data. The composition vector, in turn, is used by a second Slepian detector to optimally detect the main data. We compute the redundancy and error performance of the new method, and results of computer simulations are presented.

    Abstract - This paper proposes systematic code design methods for constructing efficient spectrum shaping codes with the maximum runlength limited constraint k, which are widely used in data storage systems for digital consumer electronics products.

    Abstract - Spin-torque transfer magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) is a promising non-volatile memory technology widely considered to replace dynamic random access memory (DRAM). However, there still exist critical technical challenges to be tackled. For example, process variation and thermal fluctuation may lead to both write errors and read errors, severely affecting the reliability of the memory array. In this paper, we first propose a novel cascaded channel model for STT-MRAM that facilitates fast error rate simulations and more importantly the theoretical design and analysis of memory sensing and channel coding schemes. We analyze the raw bit error rate and probabilities of dominant error events, and derive the maximum likelihood decision criterion and the log-likelihood ratio of the cascaded channel. Based on these works, we further propose a two-stage hybrid decoding algorithm for extended Hamming codes for STT-MRAM. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid decoding algorithm for improving the reliability of STT-MRAM in the presence of both write errors and read errors and supporting its potential applications, such as replacing DRAM.

    Abstract - We consider the transmission and storage of data that use coded binary symbols over a channel, where a Pearson distance-based detector is used for achieving resilience against additive noise, unknown channel gain, and varying offset. We study minimum Pearson distance (MPD) detection in conjunction with a set, S, of codewords satisfying a center-of-mass constraint. We investigate the properties of the codewords in S, compute the size of S, and derive its redundancy for asymptotically large values of the codeword length n. The redundancy of S is approximately (3/2) log 2 n + a, where a = log 2 (p/24) 1/2 = -1.467.. for n odd and a = -0.467.. for n even. We describe a simple encoding algorithm whose redundancy equals 2 log 2 n+ o(logn). We also compute the word error rate of the MPD detector when the channel is corrupted with additive Gaussian noise.

    Abstract - The Pearson distance has been advocated for improving the error performance of noisy channels with unknown gain and offset. The Pearson distance can only fruitfully be used for sets of q-ary codewords, called Pearson codes, that satisfy specific properties. We will analyze constructions and properties of optimal Pearson codes. We will compare the redundancy of optimal Pearson codes with the redundancy of prior art T-constrained codes, which consist of q-ary sequences in which T pre-determined reference symbols appear at least once. In particular, it will be shown that for q = 3, the two-constrained codes are optimal Pearson codes, while for q = 4 these codes are not optimal.

    Abstract - The reliability of mass storage systems, such as optical data recording and non-volatile memory (Flash), is seriously hampered by uncertainty of the actual value of the offset (drift) or gain (amplitude) of the retrieved signal. The recently introduced minimum Pearson distance detection is immune to unknown offset or gain, but this virtue comes at the cost of a lessened noise margin at nominal channel conditions. We will present a novel hybrid detection method, where we combine the outputs of the minimum Euclidean distance and Pearson distance detectors so that we may trade detection robustness versus noise margin. We will compute the error performance of hybrid detection in the presence of unknown channel mismatch and additive noise.

    Abstract - Flash, already one of the dominant forms of data storage for mobile consumer devices, such as smartphones and media players, is experiencing explosive growth in cloud and enterprise applications. Flash devices offer very high access speeds, low power consumption, and physical resiliency. Our goal in this article is to provide a high-level overview of error correction for Flash. We will begin by discussing Flash functionality and design. We will introduce the nature of Flash deficiencies. Afterwards, we describe the basics of ECCs. We discuss BCH and LDPC codes in particular and wrap up the article with more directions for Flash coding.

    Abstract - The performance of certain transmission and storage channels, such as optical data storage and nonvolatile memory (flash), is seriously hampered by the phenomena of unknown offset (drift) or gain. We will show that minimum Pearson distance (MPD) detection, unlike conventional minimum Euclidean distance detection, is immune to offset and/or gain mismatch. MPD detection is used in conjunction with T-constrained codes that consist of q-ary codewords, where in each codeword T reference symbols appear at least once. We will analyze the redundancy of the new q-ary coding technique and compute the error performance of MPD detection in the presence of additive noise. Implementation issues of MPD detection will be discussed, and results of simulations will be given.

Finally, we generalize the proposed methods to encoding of imbalanced arrays in two or more dimensions.

    Abstract - In 1986, Don Knuth published a very simple algorithm for constructing sets of bipolar codewords with equal numbers of 1s and -1s, called balanced codes. Knuth's algorithm is well suited for use with large codewords. The redundancy of Knuth's balanced codes is a factor of two larger than that of a code comprising the full set of balanced codewords. In this paper, we will present results of our attempts to improve the performance of Knuth's balanced codes.

    Abstract - The prior art construction of sets of balanced codewords by Knuth is attractive for its simplicity and absence of look-up tables, but the redundancy of the balanced codes generated by Knuth's algorithm falls a factor of two short with respect to the minimum required. We present a new construction, which is simple, does not use look-up tables, and is less redundant than Knuth's construction. In the new construction, the user word is modified in the same way as in Knuth's construction, that is by inverting a segment of user symbols. The prefix that indicates which segment has been inverted, however, is encoded in a different, more efficient, way.

The sequence replacement technique converts an input sequence into a constrained sequence in which a prescribed subsequence is forbidden to occur. Several coding algorithms are presented that use this technique for the construction of maximum run-length limited sequences. The proposed algorithms show how all forbidden subsequences can be successively or iteratively removed to obtain a constrained sequence and how special subsequences can be inserted at predefined positions in the constrained sequence to represent the indices of the positions where the forbidden subsequences were removed. Several modifications are presented to reduce the impact of transmission errors on the decoding operation, and schemes to provide error control are discussed as well. The proposed algorithms can be implemented efficiently, and the rates of the constructed codes are close to their theoretical maximum. As such, the proposed algorithms are of interest for storage systems and data networks.
