Sphere packing lower bound on fingerprinting error probability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the statistical performance of spherical fingerprints for a focused detector which decides whether a user of interest is among the colluders. The colluders create a noise-free forgery by preprocessing their individual copies, and then adding a white Gaussian noise sequence to form the actual forgery. Let N be the codelength, M the number of users, and K the number of colluders. We derive a sphere packing lower bound on the error probability, valid for any triple (N,M,K) and any spherical fingerprinting code.

A New Upper Bound on the Average Error Exponent for Multiple-Access Channels
A new lower bound for the average probability or error for a two-user discrete memoryless (DM) multiple-access channel (MAC) is derived. This bound has a structure very similar to the well-known sphere packing packing bound derived by Haroutunian. However, since explicitly imposes independence of the users’ input distributions (conditioned on the time-sharing auxiliary variable) results in a ti...
متن کاملAn Improved Sphere-Packing Bound for Finite-Length Codes on Symmetric Memoryless Channels
This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels. We first review classical results, i.e., the 1959 sphere-packing (SP59) bound of Shannon for the Gaussian channel, and the 1967 sphere-packing (SP67) bound of Shannon et al. for discrete memoryless channels. A recent improvement on the SP67 bound, ...
متن کاملA new lower bound on the maximal error probability for discrete memoryless multiple-access channels
In this work, a new lower bound for the maximal error probability of a two-user discrete memoryless (DM) multiple-access channel (MAC) is derived. This is the first bound of this type that explicitly imposes independence of the users’ input distributions (conditioned on the time-sharing auxiliary variable) and thus results in a tighter sphere-packing exponent when compared to the tightest known...
متن کاملA Comparison of Known Codes, Random Codes, and the Best Codes
This paper calculates new bounds on the size of the performance gap between random codes and the best possible codes. The first result shows that, for large block sizes, the ratio of the error probability of a random code to the sphere-packing lower bound on the error probability of every code on the binary symmetric channel (BSC) is small for a wide range of useful crossover probabilities. Thu...
متن کاملQuantum Sphere-Packing Bounds with Polynomial Prefactors
We study lower bounds on the optimal error probability in classical coding over classicalquantum channels at rates below the capacity, commonly termed quantum sphere-packing bounds. Winter and Dalai have derived such bounds for classical-quantum channels; however, the exponents in their bounds only coincide when the channel is classical. In this paper, we show that these two exponents admit a v...
