Efficiently Decodable Codes for the Binary Deletion Channel

pdf-format:

Abstract

In the random deletion channel, each bit is deleted independently with probability p. For the random deletion channel, the existence of codes of rate (1-p)/9, and thus bounded away from 0 for any p < 1, has been known. We give an explicit construction with polynomial time encoding and deletion correction algorithms with rate c_0 (1-p) for an absolute constant c_0 > 0.
