An index coding problem arises when there is a single source with a number of messages and multiple receivers each wanting a subset of messages and knowing a different set of messages a priori. The noiseless Index Coding Problem is to…

One fundamental problem in the field of network coding is to determine the network coding capacity of networks under various network coding schemes. In this thesis, we address the problem with two approaches: matroidal networks and capacity…

We study the problem of communicating over a single-source single-terminal network in the presence of an adversary that may jam a single link of the network. If any one of the edges can be jammed, the capacity of such networks is well…

We study the transmission of a set of correlated sources $(U_1,\cdots,U_K)$ over a Gaussian multiple access relay channel with time asynchronism between the encoders. We assume that the maximum possible offset ${\mathsf{d_{max}}}(n)$…

While it is known that using network coding can significantly improve the throughput of directed networks, it is a notorious open problem whether coding yields any advantage over the multicommodity flow (MCF) rate in undirected networks. It…

The multicast key-dissemination problem over noiseless networks, introduced by Langberg and Effros [ITW 2022], here called the ``key-cast'' problem, captures the task of disseminating a shared secret random key to a set of terminals over a…

We consider minimum time multicasting problems in directed and undirected graphs: given a root node and a subset of $t$ terminal nodes, multicasting seeks to find the minimum number of rounds within which all terminals can be informed with…

Multishot network coding is considered in a worst-case adversarial setting in which an omniscient adversary with unbounded computational resources may inject erroneous packets in up to $t$ links, erase up to $\rho$ packets, and wire-tap up…

We propose a new algorithm to obtain max flow for the multicommodity flow. This algorithm utilizes the max-flow min-cut theorem and the well known labeling algorithm due to Ford and Fulkerson [1]. We proceed as follows: We select one…

It has been shown lately the optimality of uncoded transmission in estimating Gaussian sources over homogeneous/symmetric Gaussian multiple access channels (MAC) using multiple sensors. It remains, however, unclear whether it still holds…

We consider the optimal transmission of distributed correlated discrete memoryless sources across a network with capacity constraints. We present several previously undiscussed structural properties of the set of feasible rates and…

While feasibility and obtaining a solution of a given network coding problem are well studied, the decoding procedure and complexity have not garnered much attention. We consider the decoding problem in a network wherein the sources…

The problem of balancing covariates arises in observational studies where one is given a group of control samples and another group, disjoint from the control group, of treatment samples. Each sample, in either group, has several observed…

We consider the problem of securing a multicast network against a wiretapper that can intercept the packets on a limited number of arbitrary network links of his choice. We assume that the network implements network coding techniques to…

This paper proves the separation between source-network coding and channel coding in networks of noisy, discrete, memoryless channels. We show that the set of achievable distortion matrices in delivering a family of dependent sources across…
