Spatially Coupled MacKay-Neal Codes on Symmetric Markov Noise: A Reduction to BMS Channels

Kenta Kasai

We prove a capacity criterion for fixed-degree spatially coupled MacKay--Neal codes on additive symmetric Markov noise. The noise bit flips with probability , so the channel has…

A Factor-Graph Formulation of CSS Syndrome Decoding: Joint BP and Four-State BP

Kenta Kasai

For CSS syndrome decoding, the two check matrices impose binary parity-check constraints on the two Pauli error components. The posterior can therefore be written as a binary facto…
