Consider the communication efficient secret sharing problem. A dealer wants to share a secret with $n$ parties such that any $k\leq n$ parties can reconstruct the secret and any $z<k$ parties eavesdropping on their shares obtain no…

A new scheme for the problem of centralized coded caching with non-uniform demands is proposed. The distinguishing feature of the proposed placement strategy is that it admits equal sub-packetization for all files while allowing the users…

A novel information theoretic approach is proposed to solve the secret sharing problem, in which a dealer distributes one or multiple secrets among a set of participants that for each secret only qualified sets of users can recover it by…

We study the problem of caching optimization in heterogeneous networks with mutual interference and per-file rate constraints from an energy efficiency perspective. A setup is considered in which two cache-enabled transmitter nodes and a…

Fundamental limits of secret-key agreement over reciprocal wireless channels are investigated. We consider a two-way block-fading channel where the channel gains in the forward and reverse links between the legitimate terminals are…

In pliable index coding, we consider a server with $m$ messages and $n$ clients where each client has as side information a subset of the messages. We seek to minimize the number of broadcast transmissions, so that each client can recover…

In this paper, we consider a cache aided network in which each user is assumed to have individual caches, while upon users' requests, an update message is sent though a common link to all users. First, we formulate a general information…
