The listsize capacity of a discrete memoryless channel is the largest transmission rate for which the expectation---or, more generally, the $\rho$-th moment---of the number of messages that could have produced the output of the channel…
Symbol synchronization refers to the estimation of the start of a symbol interval and is needed for reliable detection. In this paper, we develop several symbol synchronization schemes for molecular communication (MC) systems where we…
An outer bound to the capacity region of the two-receiver discrete memoryless broadcast channel is given. The outer bound is tight for all cases where the capacity region is known. When specialized to the case of no common information, this…
In this paper, we examine an input-constrained erasure channel and we characterize the asymptotics of its capacity when the erasure rate is low. More specifically, for a general memoryless erasure channel with its input supported on an…
This paper shows that the probability that the error exponent of a given code randomly generated from a pairwise independent ensemble being smaller than a lower bound on the typical random-coding exponent tends to zero as the codeword…
We study channel simulation under common randomness assistance in the finite-blocklength regime and identify the smooth channel max-information as a linear program one-shot converse on the minimal simulation cost for fixed error tolerance.…
We derive upper and lower bounds on the reliability function for the common-message discrete memoryless broadcast channel with variable-length feedback. We show that the bounds are tight when the broadcast channel is stochastically…
We consider anomalous diffusion for molecular communication with a passive receiver. We first consider the probability density function of molecules' location at a given time in a space of arbitrary dimension. The expected number of…
The problem of identification over a discrete memoryless wiretap channel is examined under the criterion of semantic effective secrecy. This secrecy criterion guarantees both the requirement of semantic secrecy and of stealthy…
We study a class of discrete memoryless broadcast interference channels (DM-BICs), where one of the broadcast receivers is subject to the interference from a point-to-point transmission. A general achievable rate region $\mathcal{R}$ based…
This paper considers the memoryless input-constrained binary erasure channel (BEC). The channel input constraint is the $(d,\infty)$-runlength limited (RLL) constraint, which mandates that any pair of successive $1$s in the input sequence…
The problem of Secret Key Establishment (SKE) over a pair of independent Discrete Memoryless Broadcast Channels (DMBCs) has already been studied in \cite{Ah10}, where we provided lower and upper bounds on the secret-key capacity. In this…
DNA storage has emerged as a promising solution for large-scale and long-term data preservation. Among various error types, insertions are the most frequent errors occurring in DNA sequences, where the inserted symbol is often identical or…
We introduce a new family of concatenated codes with an outer low-density parity-check (LDPC) code and an inner low-density generator matrix (LDGM) code, and prove that these codes can achieve capacity under any memoryless binary-input…
The channel output entropy of a transmitted word is the entropy of the possible channel outputs and similarly, the input entropy of a received word is the entropy of all possible transmitted words. The goal of this work is to study these…
We model the ligand-receptor molecular communication channel with a discrete-time Markov model, and show how to obtain the capacity of this channel. We show that the capacity-achieving input distribution is iid; further, unusually for a…

It has been known for a long time that the mutual information between the input sequence and output of a binary symmetric channel (BSC) is upper bounded by the mutual information between the same input sequence and the output of a binary…
The capacity and capacity-achieving distribution for intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IM-DD) fiber-optic channels is theoretically investigated. Different from coherent fiber-optic channels, we indicate that the capacity-achieving…
The sum capacity of a class of discrete memoryless interference channels is determined. This class of channels is defined analogous to the Gaussian Z-interference channel with weak interference; as a result, the sum capacity is achieved by…
