From the Editor-in-Chief
Dear Chapter Members,
The current issue revisits the beginning and development of ALOHA multiple access technique and its new challenges. Meanwhile, theoretical bounds and design of optimised locally reparable codes are also introduced. In Dec. 2020, the Chapter hosted the SYSU International Workshop on Mathematics and Coding, which revisited the foundation of coding and envisioned its future. Hanxu Hou, Congduan Li were acknowledged with the Chinese Young Information Theory Researcher Award, and Jiongyue Xing was presented the Annual Excellent PhD Dissertation Award, all by the Chinese Institute of Elecronics (CIE) Information Theory Society. Moreover, several scholars of the Chapter won grants from the NSFC and others.
