We address the problem of coding for classical multiple-access channels (MACs) with the assistance of non-signaling correlations between parties. It is well-known that non-signaling assistance does not change the capacity of classical…

Locally decodable channel codes form a special class of error-correcting codes with the property that the decoder is able to reconstruct any bit of the input message from querying only a few bits of a noisy codeword. It is well known that…

The capacity region of a two-transmitter Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) under average input power constraints is studied, when the receiver employs a zero-threshold one-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). It is proved that the…

A binary code of blocklength $n$ and codebook size $M$ is called an $(n,M)$ code, which is studied for memoryless binary symmetric channels (BSCs) with the maximum likelihood (ML) decoding. For any $n \geq 2$, some optimal codes among the…

We study reliable communication over finite-state channels (FSCs) using Reed--Muller (RM) codes. Building on recent symmetry-based analyses for memoryless channels, we show that a sequence of binary RM codes (with some random scrambling)…

The construction of asymmetric error correcting codes is a topic that was studied extensively, however, the existing approach for code construction assumes that every codeword should tolerate $t$ asymmetric errors. Our main observation is…

We study communication over a Multiple Access Channel (MAC) where users can possibly be adversarial. The receiver is unaware of the identity of the adversarial users (if any). When all users are non-adversarial, we want their messages to be…
