Ultra-Low-Rate Information Reconciliation: Repetition Coding or Dedicated Codes?
Erdem Eray Cil, Laurent Schmalen
We compare repetition-based ultra-low-rate information reconciliation with dedicated ultra-low-rate codes for CV-QKD. Repetition coding offers a favorable performance-complexity tr…
Reverse Reconciliation with Soft Information for Discrete-Modulation CV-QKD at Long Range
Marco Origlia, Erdem Eray Cil, Laurent Schmalen +1
We recently introduced a reverse reconciliation scheme with soft information. In this paper, we assess its performance at ultra-low SNR, thus proving that such scheme is a versatil…
Towards a Unified Coding Scheme for 6G
Paul Bezner, Erdem Eray Cil, Jannis Clausius +14
The growing demand for higher data rates necessitates continuous innovations in wireless communication systems, particularly with the emergence of 6G. Channel coding plays a crucia…
Practical Methods for Distance-Adaptive Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution
Jonas Berl, Utku Akin, Erdem Eray Cil +2
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) is a promising quantum-safe alternative to classical asymmetric cryptography that enables two authenticated parties to establi…
Protograph-Based LDPC Codes with Local Irregularity
Vincent Wüst, Erdem Eray Cil, Laurent Schmalen
Forward error correcting (FEC) codes are used in many communication standards with a wide range of re quirements. FEC codes should work close to capacity, achieve low error floors,…
