环形字母表上线性网络编码的容量和可压缩码率域

Capacity and Achievable Rate Regions for Linear Network Coding over Ring Alphabets

Joseph Connelly, Kenneth Zeger

摘要:

网络码的速率是网络消息的块大小与其边缘码字的块大小之比。我们比较了网络的线性容量和可达速率区域使用有限域字母表的任意环和模块字母表的更一般的情况下。对于非交换环,允许双边线性。具体地说,我们证明了以下有向无环网络:(i)有限域上任何网络的线性速率区域和线性容量仅取决于域的特征。此外,任何两个具有不同特征的场对至少一个网络产生不同的线性容量。(ii)当一个给定的有限域的特征除以一个给定的有限环的大小时,每个网络在该环上的线性速率区域包含在该域上的线性速率区域中。因此,任何网络在域上的线性容量至少是它在任何其他相同大小的环上的线性容量。一个类似的结果也适用于模字母表上的线性网络码。(iii)当一个给定的有限域的特征不整除一个给定的有限环的大小时,就有一个网络,它在环上的线性容量严格大于它在域上的线性容量。因此,对于任何有限域,总是存在环,在这些环上,某些网络具有比域上更高的线性容量。

英文摘要:

The rate of a network code is the ratio of the block size of the network's messages to that of its edge codewords. We compare the linear capacities and achievable rate regions of networks using finite field alphabets to the more general cases of arbitrary ring and module alphabets. For non-commutative rings, two-sided linearity is allowed. Specifically, we prove the following for directed acyclic networks: (i) The linear rate region and the linear capacity of any network over a finite field depend only on the characteristic of the field. Furthermore, any two fields with different characteristics yield different linear capacities for at least one network. (ii) Whenever the characteristic of a given finite field divides the size of a given finite ring, each network's linear rate region over the ring is contained in its linear rate region over the field. Thus, any network's linear capacity over a field is at least its linear capacity over any other ring of the same size. An analogous result also holds for linear network codes over module alphabets. (iii) Whenever the characteristic of a given finite field does not divide the size of a given finite ring, there is some network whose linear capacity over the ring is strictly greater than its linear capacity over the field. Thus, for any finite field, there always exist rings over which some networks have higher linear capacities than over the field.
