| contents | "Independent and identically distributed" errors do not accurately capture the noisy behavior of real-world data storage and information transmission technologies. Motivated by this, we study channels with input-correlated synchronization errors, meaning that the distribution of synchronization errors (such as deletions and insertions) applied to the $i$-th input $x_i$ may depend on the whole input string $x$.
We begin by identifying conditions on the input-correlated synchronization channel under which the channel's information capacity is achieved by a stationary ergodic input source and is equal to its coding capacity. These conditions capture a wide class of channels, including channels with correlated errors observed in DNA-based data storage systems and their multi-trace versions, and generalize prior work. To showcase the usefulness of the general capacity theorem above, we combine it with techniques of Pernice-Li-Wootters (ISIT 2022) and Brakensiek-Li-Spang (FOCS 2020) to obtain explicit capacity-achieving codes for multi-trace channels with runlength-dependent deletions, motivated by error patterns observed in DNA-based data storage systems. |
