Least Squares Superposition Codes of Moderate Dictionary Size, Reliable at Rates up to Capacity

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

For the additive white Gaussian noise channel with average codeword power constraint, new coding methods are devised in which the codewords are sparse superpositions, that is, linear combinations of subsets of vectors from a given design, with the possible messages indexed by the choice of subset. Decoding is by least squares, tailored to the assumed form of linear combination. Communication is shown to be reliable with error probability exponentially small for all rates up to the Shannon capacity.
