This paper revisits the study of (minimum) broadcast graphs, i.e., graphs enabling fast information dissemination from every source node to all the other nodes (and having minimum number of edges for this property). This study is performed…

We characterise bounds on the optimal broadcast rate for a few classes of pliable-index-coding instances. Unlike the majority of currently solved instances, which belong to a special class where all receivers with a certain side-information…

A Maximum Distance Separable code over an alphabet $F$ is defined via an encoding function $C:F^k \rightarrow F^n$ that allows to retrieve a message $m \in F^k$ from the codeword $C(m)$ even after erasing any $n-k$ of its symbols. The…

In this letter, we consider a Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control system where feedback occurs over a noiseless binary channel and derive lower bounds on the minimum communication cost (quantified via the channel bitrate) required to…

Information leakage to a guessing adversary in index coding is studied, where some messages in the system are sensitive and others are not. The non-sensitive messages can be used by the server like secret keys to mitigate leakage of the…

Partial spread is important in finite geometry and can be used to construct linear codes. From the results in (Designs, Codes and Cryptography 90:1-15, 2022) by Xia Li, Qin Yue and Deng Tang, we know that if the number of the elements in a…

An identifying code of a graph G is a dominating set C such that every vertex x of G is distinguished from all other vertices by the set of vertices in C that are at distance at most 1 from x. The problem of finding an identifying code of…

We consider the \emph{functional index coding problem} over an error-free broadcast network in which a source generates a set of messages and there are multiple receivers, each holding a set of functions of source messages in its cache,…

This paper studies noisy index coding problems over single-input single-output broadcast channels. The codewords from a chosen index code of length $N$ are transmitted after $2^N$-PSK modulation over an AWGN channel. In "Index Coded PSK…

We propose index codes, based on multidimensional QAM constellations, for the Gaussian broadcast channel, where every receiver demands all the messages from the source. The efficiency with which an index code exploits receiver side…

A linear code of length $n$ over a finite chain ring $R$ with residue field $\F_q$ is a $R$-submodule of $R^n$. A $R$-linear code is a code over $\F_q$ (not necessarily linear) which is the generalized Gray map image of a linear code over…

The index coding problem involves a sender with K messages to be transmitted across a broadcast channel, and a set of receivers each of which demands a subset of the K messages while having prior knowledge of a different subset as side…

A single unicast index coding problem (SUICP) is called symmetric neighboring and consecutive (SNC) side-information problem if it has $K$ messages and $K$ receivers, the $k$th receiver $R_{k}$ wanting the $k$th message $x_{k}$ and having…
