We present novel non-asymptotic or finite blocklength achievability bounds for three side-information problems in network information theory. These include (i) the Wyner-Ahlswede-Korner (WAK) problem of almost-lossless source coding with…
The problem of secure multiterminal source coding with side information at the eavesdropper is investigated. This scenario consists of a main encoder (referred to as Alice) that wishes to compress a single source but simultaneously…
In this paper, we analyze classical data compression with quantum side information (also known as the classical-quantum Slepian-Wolf protocol) in the so-called large and moderate deviation regimes. In the non-asymptotic setting, the…
In this paper, we propose a source coding scheme that represents data from unknown distributions through frequency and support information. Existing encoding schemes often compress data by sacrificing computational efficiency or by assuming…
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…
Distributed source coding (DSC) addresses the compression of correlated sources without communication links among them. This paper is concerned with the Wyner-Ziv problem: coding of an information source with side information available only…
Theoretical analysis has long indicated that feedback improves the error exponent but not the capacity of single-user memoryless channels. Recently Polyanskiy et al. studied the benefit of variable-length feedback with termination (VLFT)…
Practical constructions of lossless distributed source codes (for the Slepian-Wolf problem) have been the subject of much investigation in the past decade. In particular, near-capacity achieving code designs based on LDPC codes have been…

The exponential strong converse for a coding problem states that, if a coding rate is beyond the theoretical limit, the correct probability converges to zero exponentially. For the lossy source coding with side-information, also known as…
The notion of source polarization is introduced and investigated. This complements the earlier work on channel polarization. An application to Slepian-Wolf coding is also considered. The paper is restricted to the case of binary alphabets.…
A problem of index coding with side information was first considered by Y. Birk and T. Kol (IEEE INFOCOM, 1998). In the present work, a generalization of index coding scheme, where transmitted symbols are subject to errors, is studied.…
The variable-length source coding problem allowing the error probability up to some constant is considered for general sources. In this problem the optimum mean codeword length of variable-length codes has already been determined. On the…
In the Wyner-Ziv source coding problem, a source $X$ has to be encoded while the decoder has access to side information $Y$. This paper investigates the indirect setup, in which a latent source $S$, unobserved by both the encoder and the…
We show how real-number codes can be used to compress correlated sources and establish a new framework for distributed lossy source coding, in which we quantize compressed sources instead of compressing quantized sources. This change in the…
The likelihood encoder with a random codebook is demonstrated as an effective tool for source coding. Coupled with a soft covering lemma (associated with channel resolvability), likelihood encoders yield simple achievability proofs for…
We study the problem of rate-distortion-equivocation with side-information only available at the decoder when an independent private random key is shared between the sender and the receiver. The sender compresses the sequence, and the…
We propose a base-station (BS) cooperation model for broadcasting a discrete memoryless source in a cellular or heterogeneous network. The model allows the receivers to use helper BSs to improve network performance, and it permits the…
