Matroid Theory and Storage Codes: Bounds and Constructions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent research on distributed storage systems (DSSs) has revealed interesting connections between matroid theory and locally repairable codes (LRCs). The goal of this chapter is to introduce the reader to matroids and polymatroids, and illustrate their relation to distribute storage systems. While many of the results are rather technical in nature, effort is made to increase accessibility via simple examples. The chapter embeds all the essential features of LRCs, namely locality, availability, and hierarchy alongside with related generalised Singleton bounds.

Bounds on Binary Locally Repairable Codes Tolerating Multiple Erasures
Recently, locally repairable codes has gained significant interest for their potential applications in distributed storage systems. However, most constructions in existence are over fields with size that grows with the number of servers, which makes the systems computationally expensive and difficult to maintain. Here, we study linear locally repairable codes over the binary field, tolerating m...
متن کاملOn Binary Matroid Minors and Applications to Data Storage over Small Fields
Locally repairable codes for distributed storage systems have gained a lot of interest recently, and various constructions can be found in the literature. However, most of the constructions result in either large field sizes and hence too high computational complexity for practical implementation, or in low rates translating into waste of the available storage space. In this paper we address th...
متن کاملLocally Repairable Codes and Matroid Theory
of the bachelor's thesis Abstract: Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are error correcting codes used in distributed data storage. A traditional approach is to look for codes which simultaneously maximize error tolerance and minimize storage space consumption. However, this tends to yield codes for which error correction requires an unrealistic amount of communication between storage nodes. LRCs s...
متن کاملConstructions and bounds on linear error-block codes
We obtain new bounds on the parameters and we give new constructions of linear error-block codes. We obtain a Gilbert–Varshamov type construction. Using our bounds and constructions we obtain some infinite families of optimal linear error-block codes over F2. We also study the asymptotic of linear error-block codes. We define the real valued function αq,m,a(δ), which is an analog of the importa...
متن کاملBatch and PIR Codes and Their Connections to Locally-Repairable Codes
Two related families of codes are studied: batch codes and codes for private information retrieval. These two families can be viewed as natural generalizations of locally repairable codes, which were extensively studied in the context of coding for fault tolerance in distributed data storage systems. Bounds on the parameters of the codes, as well as basic constructions, are presented. Connectio...
