We investigate the two unicast flow problem over layered linear deterministic networks with arbitrary number of nodes. When the minimum cut value between each source-destination pair is constrained to be 1, it is obvious that the triangular…
We consider the multiple unicast problem with three source-terminal pairs over directed acyclic networks with unit-capacity edges. The three $s_i-t_i$ pairs wish to communicate at unit-rate via network coding. The connectivity between the…
We consider the multiple unicast problem under network coding over directed acyclic networks with unit capacity edges. There is a set of n source-terminal (s_i - t_i) pairs that wish to communicate at unit rate over this network. The…
An achievable rate region is obtained for a primary multiple access network coexisting with a secondary link of one transmitter and a corresponding receiver. The rate region depicts the sum primary rate versus the secondary rate and is…
One of the main theoretical motivations for the emerging area of network coding is the achievability of the max-flow/min-cut rate for single source multicast. This can exceed the rate achievable with routing alone, and is achievable with…
This work considers the problem of transmitting multiple compressible sources over a network at minimum cost. The aim is to find the optimal rates at which the sources should be compressed and the network flows using which they should be…
This paper considers the problem of network coding for multiple unicast connections in networks represented by directed acyclic graphs. The concept of interference alignment, traditionally used in interference networks, is extended to…
We introduce a formal framework to study the multiple unicast problem for a coded network in which the network code is linear over a finite field and fixed. We show that the problem corresponds to an interference alignment problem over a…
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…
We study a number of multi-route cut problems: given a graph G=(V,E) and connectivity thresholds k_(u,v) on pairs of nodes, the goal is to find a minimum cost set of edges or vertices the removal of which reduces the connectivity between…
In this paper, we propose a subnetwork decomposition/combination approach to investigate the single rate $2$-pair unicast problem. It is shown that the solvability of a $2$-pair unicast problem is completely determined by four specific link…
The following \textit{network computing} problem is considered. Source nodes in a directed acyclic network generate independent messages and a single receiver node computes a target function $f$ of the messages. The objective is to maximize…
We consider a directed acyclic network where there are two source-terminal pairs and the terminals need to receive the symbols generated at the respective sources. Each source independently generates an i.i.d. random process over the same…
Determining the achievable rate region for networks using routing, linear coding, or non-linear coding is thought to be a difficult task in general, and few are known. We describe the achievable rate regions for four interesting networks…
We are interested in how to best communicate a (usually real valued) source to a number of destinations (sinks) over a network with capacity constraints in a collective fidelity metric over all the sinks, a problem which we call joint…
We propose an achievable rate-region for the two-way multiple-relay channel using decode-and-forward block Markovian coding. We identify a conflict between the information flow in both directions. This conflict leads to an intractable…
We consider a two-way relay network, where two source nodes, S1 and S2, exchange information through a cluster of relay nodes. The relay nodes receive the sum signal from S1 and S2 in the first time slot. In the second time slot, each relay…
In this paper, we consider networks with multiple unicast sessions. Generally, non-linear network coding is needed to achieve the whole rate region of network coding. Yet, there exist networks for which routing is sufficient to achieve the…
We consider the communication capacity of wireline networks for a two-unicast traffic pattern. The network has two sources and two destinations with each source communicating a message to its own destination, subject to the capacity…
We show that solving a multiple-unicast network coding problem can be reduced to solving a single-unicast network error correction problem, where an adversary may jam at most a single edge in the network. Specifically, we present an…
