Two mobile agents, starting at arbitrary, possibly different times from arbitrary locations in the plane, have to meet. Agents are modeled as discs of diameter 1, and meeting occurs when these discs touch. Agents have different labels which…
Information exchange over networks can be affected by various forms of delay. This causes challenges for using the network by a multi-agent system to solve a distributed optimisation problem. Distributed optimisation schemes, however,…
We consider opportunistic communications over multiple channels where the state ("good" or "bad") of each channel evolves as independent and identically distributed Markov processes. A user, with limited sensing and access capability,…
This paper studies networks with N half-duplex relays assisting the communication between a source and a destination. In ISIT'12 Brahma, \"{O}zg\"{u}r and Fragouli conjectured that in Gaussian half-duplex diamond networks (i.e., without a…
We study the wake-up problem in distributed networks, where an adversary awakens a subset of nodes at arbitrary times, and the goal is to wake up all other nodes as quickly as possible by sending only few messages. We prove the following…
Full parameter sharing is standard in cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for homogeneous agents. Under permutation-symmetric observations, however, a shared deterministic policy outputs identical action distributions for…
Here we consider the communications tactics appropriate for a group of agents that need to "swarm" together in a highly adversarial environment. Specfically, whilst they need to cooperate by exchanging information with each other about…

We investigate a real-time remote inference system where multiple correlated sources transmit observations over a communication channel to a receiver. The receiver utilizes these observations to infer multiple time-varying targets. Due to…

With new applications for radar networks such as automotive control or indoor localization, the need for spectrum sharing and general interoperability is expected to rise. This paper describes the application of multi-player bandit…
We consider a sensor-receiver pair communicating over a wireless channel in the presence of a jammer who may launch a denial-of-service attack. We formulate a zero-sum game between a coordinator that jointly designs the transmission and…
