Abstract
The service rate region of a coded distributed storage system is the set of all achievable data access requests under the capacity constraints. This paper investigates the service rate regions of systematic Hamming codes using hypergraph theory and derives bounds for the maximal achievable service rate of individual data objects. We establish upper bounds on the sum of service rates of data symbols indexed by a subset of systematic nodes in a systematic binary Hamming code, and explore the achievability of these bounds. Additionally, for non-systematic binary Hamming codes, we conclude that the aggregate service rate is limited by the number of columns of odd weight in the associated generator matrix.
