The linear shift deterministic Y-channel is studied. That is, we have three users and one relay, where each user wishes to broadcast one message to each other user via the relay, resulting in a multi-way relaying setup. The cut-set bounds…
The interference channel with degraded message sets (IC-DMS) refers to a communication model in which two senders attempt to communicate with their respective receivers simultaneously through a common medium, and one of the senders has…
We consider a cognitive radio network in a multi-channel licensed environment. Secondary user transmits in a channel if the channel is sensed to be vacant. This results in a tradeoff between sensing time and transmission time. When…
In multi-user information theory it is often assumed that every node in the network possesses all codebooks used in the network. This assumption is however impractical in distributed ad-hoc and cognitive networks. This work considers the…
