Traditional error-correcting codes (ECCs) assume a fixed message length, but many scenarios involve ongoing or indefinite transmissions where the message length is not known in advance. For example, when streaming a video, the user should…

Given a noiseless protocol $\pi_0$ computing a function $f(x, y)$ of Alice and Bob's private inputs $x, y$, the goal of interactive coding is to construct an error-resilient protocol $\pi$ computing $f$ such that even if some fraction of…

This letter investigates the role of index coding in the capacity of AWGN broadcast channels with receiver message side information. We first show that index coding is unnecessary where there are two receivers; multiplexing coding and…

A binary code of blocklength $n$ and codebook size $M$ is called an $(n,M)$ code, which is studied for memoryless binary symmetric channels (BSCs) with the maximum likelihood (ML) decoding. For any $n \geq 2$, some optimal codes among the…

In the index coding problem a sender holds a message $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ and wishes to broadcast information to $n$ receivers in a way that enables the $i$th receiver to retrieve the $i$th bit $x_i$. Every receiver has prior side information…

Assume that a graph $G$ models a detection system for a facility with a possible "intruder," or a multiprocessor network with a possible malfunctioning processor. We consider the problem of placing (the minimum number of) detectors at a…

The groupcast index coding problem is the most general version of the classical index coding problem, where any receiver can demand messages that are also demanded by other receivers. Any groupcast index coding problem is described by its…

Security aspects of the Index Coding with Side Information (ICSI) problem are investigated. Building on the results of Bar-Yossef et al. (2006), the properties of linear index codes are further explored. The notion of weak security,…

Index codes reduce the number of bits broadcast by a wireless transmitter to a number of receivers with different demands and with side information. It is known that the problem of finding optimal linear index codes is NP-hard. We…

This letter considers a network comprising a transmitter, which employs random linear network coding to encode a message, a legitimate receiver, which can recover the message if it gathers a sufficient number of linearly independent coded…

We consider the \emph{functional index coding problem} over an error-free broadcast network in which a source generates a set of messages and there are multiple receivers, each holding a set of functions of source messages in its cache,…

The index coding problem is a problem of efficient broadcasting with side-information. We look at the uniprior index coding problem, in which the receivers have disjoint side-information symbols and arbitrary demand sets. Previous work has…

An index coding problem is called unicast-uniprior when each receiver demands a unique subset of messages while knowing another unique subset of messages apriori as side-information. In this work, we give an algorithm to compute the minrank…

The following source coding problem was introduced by Birk and Kol: a sender holds a word $x\in\{0,1\}^n$, and wishes to broadcast a codeword to $n$ receivers, $R_1,...,R_n$. The receiver $R_i$ is interested in $x_i$, and has prior…

We consider a two-user random access system in which each user independently selects a coding scheme from a finite set for every message, without sharing these choices with the other user or with the receiver. The receiver aims to decode…

We study random linear network coding for broadcasting in time division duplexing channels. We assume a packet erasure channel with nodes that cannot transmit and receive information simultaneously. The sender transmits coded data packets…

We consider the problem of block-coded communication, where in each block, the channel law belongs to one of two disjoint sets. The decoder is aimed to decode only messages that have undergone a channel from one of the sets, and thus has to…
