We investigate the Wyner-Ziv coding in which the statistics of the principal source is known but the statistics of the channel generating the side-information is unknown except that it is in a certain class. The class consists of channels…
Consider the problem of estimating a latent signal from a lossy compressed version of the data when the compressor is agnostic to the relation between the signal and the data. This situation arises in a host of modern applications when data…
In this paper, we propose {\em distributed network compression via memory}. We consider two spatially separated sources with correlated unknown source parameters. We wish to study the universal compression of a sequence of length $n$ from…
We prove the existence of codebooks for d-semifaithful lossy compression that are simultaneously universal with respect to both the class of finite-alphabet memoryless sources and the class of all bounded additive distortion measures. By…
We consider finite blocklength lossy compression of information sources whose components are independent but non-identically distributed. Crucially, Gaussian sources with memory and quadratic distortion can be cast in this form. We show…
This paper studies channel coding for the discrete memoryless multiple-access channel with a given (possibly suboptimal) decoding rule. A multi-letter successive decoding rule depending on an arbitrary non-negative decoding metric is…
A multiple-descriptions (MD) coding strategy is proposed and an inner bound to the achievable rate-distortion region is derived. The scheme utilizes linear codes. It is shown in two different MD set-ups that the linear coding scheme…
We investigate the upper and lower bounds on the quantization distortions for independent and identically distributed sources in the finite block-length regime. Based on the convex optimization framework of the rate-distortion theory, we…
Optical networks are vulnerable to physical layer attacks; wiretappers can improperly receive messages intended for legitimate recipients. Our work considers an aspect of this security problem within the domain of multimode fiber (MMF)…
In Sequential Massive Random Access (SMRA), a set of correlated sources is jointly encoded and stored on a server, and clients want to access to only a subset of the sources. Since the number of simultaneous clients can be huge, the server…
We propose two coding schemes for discrete memoryless broadcast channels (DMBCs) with rate-limited feedback from only one receiver. For any positive feedback rate and for the class of strictly less-noisy DMBCs, our schemes strictly improve…
For discrete memoryless multiple-access channels, we propose a general definition of variable length codes with a measure of the transmission rates at the receiver side. This gives a receiver perspective on the multiple-access channel…
We consider a joint source channel coding (JSCC) problem in which we desire to transmit an arbitrary memoryless source over an arbitrary additive channel. We propose a mismatched coding architecture that consists of Gaussian codebooks for…
This paper studies the second-order asymptotics of the discrete memoryless multiple-access channel with degraded message sets. For a fixed average error probability $\epsilon\in(0,1)$ and an arbitrary point on the boundary of the capacity…
We derive a lower bound on the differential entropy of a log-concave random variable $X$ in terms of the $p$-th absolute moment of $X$. The new bound leads to a reverse entropy power inequality with an explicit constant, and to new bounds…
We consider the problem of lossy source coding with side information under a privacy constraint that the reconstruction sequence at a decoder should be kept secret to a certain extent from another terminal such as an eavesdropper, a sender,…
We consider the problem of joint source-channel coding for semantic communication from a rateless perspective, the purpose of which is to settle the balance between reliability (distortion/perception) and effectiveness (rate) of…
The sequence reconstruction problem, introduced by Levenshtein in 2001, considers a communication setting in which a sender transmits a codeword and the receiver observes K independent noisy versions of this codeword. In this work, we study…
Rate-distortion theory provides bounds for compressing data produced by an information source to a specified encoding rate that is strictly less than the source's entropy. This necessarily entails some loss, or distortion, between the…
We establish the capacity of a class of communication channels introduced in [1]. The $n$-letter input from a finite alphabet is passed through a discrete memoryless channel $P_{Z|X}$ and then the output $n$-letter sequence is uniformly…
