While network coding can be an efficient means of information dissemination in networks, it is highly susceptible to "pollution attacks," as the injection of even a single erroneous packet has the potential to corrupt each and every packet…

This paper focuses on the capacity of peer-to-peer relay communications wherein the transmitter are assisted by an arbitrary number of parallel relays, i.e. there is no link and cooperation between the relays themselves. We detail the…

Learned image compression allows achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and compression ratios, but their relatively slow runtime performance limits their usage. While previous attempts on optimizing learned image codecs focused more on the…

Minimal multicast networks are fascinating and efficient combinatorial objects, where the removal of a single link makes it impossible for all receivers to obtain all messages. We study the structure of such networks, and prove some…

The problem of computing a linear combination of sources over a multiple access channel is studied. Inner and outer bounds on the optimal tradeoff between the communication rates are established when encoding is restricted to random…

HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is a widely adopted method for delivering video content over the Internet, requiring each video to be encoded at multiple bitrates and resolution pairs, known as representations, to adapt to various network…

The problem of multicasting multiple messages with the help of a relay, which may also have an independent message of its own to multicast, is considered. As a first step to address this general model, referred to as the compound multiple…

The rise of capturing systems for objects and scenes in 3D with increased fidelity and immersion has led to the popularity of volumetric video contents that can be seen from any position and angle in 6 degrees of freedom navigation. Such…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of cooperative relay in CR networks for further enhanced network performance. In particular, we focus on the two representative cooperative relay strategies, and develop optimal spectrum sensing and…

In a single hop broadcast packet erasure network, we demonstrate that it is possible to provide multirate packet delivery outside of what is given by the network min-cut. This is achieved by using a deterministic non-block-based network…

Communication networks have multiple users, each sending and receiving messages. A multiple access channel (MAC) models multiple senders transmitting to a single receiver, such as the uplink from many mobile phones to a single base station.…

It is already known that in multicast (single source, multiple sinks) network, random linear network coding can achieve the maximum flow upper bound. In this paper, we investigate how random linear network coding behaves in general…

Adaptive bitrate streaming (ABR) over the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which raises numerous delicate questions, is nowadays almost the only approach to video streaming. This paper presents elementary solutions to three key issues:…

This paper investigates the capacity problem for some multiple-access scenarios with cooperative transmitters. First, a general Multiple-Access Channel (MAC) with common information, i.e., a scenario where p transmitters send private…

In the current work, we have formulated the optimal bit-allocation problem for a scalable codec of images or videos as a constrained vector-valued optimization problem and demonstrated that there can be many optimal solutions, called Pareto…

The capacity region of a multiple access channel is discussed. It was found that orthogonal multiple access and non orthogonal multiple access have the same capacity region under the constraint of same sum power.

In video streaming applications especially during live streaming events (such as the Super Bowl), video traffic can account for a significant portion of network traffic and can lead to severe network congestion. During such events,…

This work is focused on the system-level performance of a broadcast network. Since all transmitters in a broadcast network transmit the identical signal, received signals from multiple transmitters can be combined to improve system…

Peer-to-peer content distribution systems have been enjoying great popularity, and are now gaining momentum as a means of disseminating video streams over the Internet. In many of these protocols, including the popular BitTorrent, content…

Recently, considerable research attention has been paid to network embedding, a popular approach to construct feature vectors of vertices. Due to the curse of dimensionality and sparsity in graphical datasets, this approach has become…
