Retransmission based on packet acknowledgement (ACK/NAK) is a fundamental error control technique employed in IEEE 802.11-2007 unicast network. However the 802.11-2007 standard falls short of proposing a reliable MAC-level recovery protocol…
We derive a lower and upper bound on the reliability function of discrete memoryless multiple-access channel (MAC) with noiseless feedback and variable-length codes (VLCs). For the upper-bound, we use proof techniques of Burnashev for the…
Consider n nodes communicating over an unreliable broadcast channel. Each node has a single packet that needs to be communicated to all other nodes. Time is slotted, and a time slot is long enough for each node to broadcast one packet. Each…
For discrete memoryless multiple-access channels, we propose a general definition of variable length codes with a measure of the transmission rates at the receiver side. This gives a receiver perspective on the multiple-access channel…
This work identifies the fundamental limits of cache-aided coded multicasting in the presence of the well-known `worst-user' bottleneck. This stems from the presence of receiving users with uneven channel capacities, which often forces the…
We address the problem of reliable data transmission within a finite time horizon $T$ over a binary erasure channel with unknown erasure probability. We consider a feedback model wherein the transmitter can query the receiver infrequently…
This paper considers feedback load reduction for multiuser multiple input multiple output (MIMO) broadcast channel where the users' channel distributions are not homogeneous. A cluster-based feedback scheme is proposed such that the range…
This paper investigates the capacity regions of two-receiver broadcast channels where each receiver (i) has both common and private-message requests, and (ii) knows part of the private message requested by the other receiver as side…
We investigate the capacity region of multi-user interference channels (IC), where each user encodes multiple sub-user components. By unifying chain-rule decomposition with the Entropy Power Inequality (EPI), we reason that single-user…
This paper considers multiplexing two sequences of messages with two different decoding delays over a packet erasure channel. In each time slot, the source constructs a packet based on the current and previous messages and transmits the…
We consider the capacity region of a $K$-user multiple access channel (MAC) with energy harvesting transmitters. Each user stores and schedules the randomly arriving energy using an energy buffer. Users can also perform energy cooperation…
We define a class of multi--hop erasure networks that approximates a wireless multi--hop network. The network carries unicast flows for multiple users, and each information packet within a flow is required to be decoded at the flow…
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…
This work presents another look at an analog network coding scheme for multi-user spread-spectrum communication systems. Our proposed system combines coding and cooperation between a relay and users to boost the throughput and to exploit…
The multiple access channel (MAC) with many-user is a general model for massive machine type communications. In this paradigm, the number of users may be comparable or even larger than the coding blocklength $n$. In contrast, classical MAC…
We consider coded caching over the fading broadcast channel, where the users, equipped with a memory of finite size, experience asymmetric fading statistics. It is known that a naive application of coded caching over the channel at hand…
We present a communication protocol for the erasure channel assisted by backward classical communication, which achieves a significantly better rate than the best prior result. In addition, we prove an upper bound for the capacity of the…
The paper considers the input-constrained binary erasure channel (BEC) with causal, noiseless feedback. The channel input sequence respects the $(d,\infty)$-runlength limited (RLL) constraint, i.e., any pair of successive $1$s must be…
This work considers an asynchronous $\textsf{K}_\text{a}$-active-user unsourced multiple access channel (AUMAC) with the worst-case asynchronicity. The transmitted messages must be decoded within $n$ channel uses, while some codewords are…
A random access scheme for the collision channel without feedback is proposed. The scheme is based on erasure correcting codes for the recovery of packet segments that are lost in collisions, and on successive interference cancellation for…
