Consider the two-way rate-distortion problem in which a helper sends a common limited-rate message to both users based on side information at its disposal. We characterize the region of achievable rates and distortions where a Markov form…
I introduce rate-distortion theory for quantum coding, and derive a lower bound, involving the coherent information, on the rate at which qubits must be used to encode a quantum source with a given maximum level of distortion per source…
In this paper we address the problem of transmission of correlated sources over a fast fading multiple access channel (MAC) with partial channel state information available at both the encoders and the decoder. We provide sufficient…
We consider the transmission of a memoryless bivariate Gaussian source over an average-power-constrained one-to-two Gaussian broadcast channel. The transmitter observes the source and describes it to the two receivers by means of an…
We consider the classic joint source-channel coding problem of transmitting a memoryless source over a memoryless channel. The focus of this work is on the long-standing open problem of finding the rate of convergence of the smallest…
We present a new inner bound for the rate region of the $t$-stage successive-refinement problem with side-information. We also present a new upper bound for the rate-distortion function for lossy-source coding with multiple decoders and…
In this report, we investigate the data transmission model in which a sequence of data is broadcasted to a number of receivers. The receivers, which have different channel capacities, wish to decode the data sequentially at different rates.…
In this work, we establish a full single-letter characterization of the rate-distortion region of an instance of the Gray-Wyner model with side information at the decoders. Specifically, in this model an encoder observes a pair of…
In the All-Reduce problem, each one of the K nodes holds an input and wishes to compute the sum of all K inputs through a communication network where each pair of nodes is connected by a parallel link with arbitrary bandwidth. The…
A partially cooperative relay broadcast channel (RBC) is a three-node network with one source node and two destination nodes (destinations 1 and 2) where destination 1 can act as a relay to assist destination 2. Inner and outer bounds on…
We identify the common underlying form of the capacity expression that is applicable to both cases where causal or non-causal side information is made available to the transmitter. Using this common form we find that for the single user…
Characterising the capacity region for a network can be extremely difficult, especially when the sources are dependent. Most existing computable outer bounds are relaxations of the Linear Programming bound. One main challenge to extend…
In this paper, we derive information-theoretic performance limits for three classes of two-user state-dependent discrete memoryless broadcast channels, with noncausal side-information at the encoder. The first class of channels comprises a…
This paper studies two crucial problems in the context of coded distributed storage systems directly related to their performance: 1) for a fixed alphabet size, determine the minimum number of servers the system must have for its service…
The advent of Bell's inequalities provoked the possibility that entangled quantum phenomena is non-local in nature. Since teleportation only requires a finite amount of classical information, i.e. two bits, the author asks whether or not it…
Constrained lossy source coding and channel coding with side information problems which extend the classic Wyner-Ziv and Gel'fand-Pinsker problems are considered. Inspired by applications in sensor networking and control, we first consider…
We consider a multiterminal source coding problem in which a source is estimated at a central processing unit from lossy-compressed remote observations. Each lossy-encoded observation is produced by a remote sensor which obtains a noisy…
We investigate the problem of secure source coding with a two-sided helper in a game-theoretic framework. Alice (A) and Helen (H) view iid correlated information sequences $X^n$ and $Y^n$ respectively. Alice communicates to Bob (B) at rate…
In this work, lossy distributed compression of pairs of correlated sources is considered. Conventionally, Shannon's random coding arguments -- using randomly generated unstructured codebooks whose blocklength is taken to be asymptotically…
In coded bi-directional cooperation, two nodes wish to exchange messages over a shared half-duplex channel with the help of a relay. In this paper, we derive performance bounds for this problem for each of three protocols. The first…
