Index coding studies multiterminal source-coding problems where a set of receivers are required to decode multiple (possibly different) messages from a common broadcast, and they each know some messages a priori. In this paper, at the…

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…

In Index coding there is a single sender with multiple messages and multiple receivers each wanting a different set of messages and knowing a different set of messages a priori. The Index Coding problem is to identify the minimum number of…

Consider the two-way rate-distortion problem in which a helper sends a common limited-rate message to both users based on side information at its disposal. We characterize the region of achievable rates and distortions where a Markov form…

This paper investigates a source coding problem in which two terminals communicating through a relay wish to estimate one another's source within some distortion constraint. The relay has access to side information that is correlated with…

In this paper, we consider the problem of variable packet-error coding, which emerges in network communication scenarios where a source transmits information to a destination through multiple disjoint paths. The objective is to design codes…

Index coding is concerned with efficient broadcast of a set of messages to receivers in the presence of receiver side information. In this paper, we study the secure index coding problem with security constraints on the receivers…

The rate-distortion curve captures the fundamental tradeoff between compression length and resolution in lossy data compression. However, it conceals the underlying dynamics of optimal source encodings or test channels. We argue that these…

The problem of two-sender unicast index coding consists of two senders and a set of receivers. Each receiver demands a unique message and possesses some of the messages demanded by other receivers as its side-information. Every demanded…

The source-coding problem with side information at the decoder is studied subject to a constraint that the encoder---to whom the side information is unavailable---be able to compute the decoder's reconstruction sequence to within some…

An index code for broadcast channel with receiver side information is locally decodable if each receiver can decode its demand by observing only a subset of the transmitted codeword symbols instead of the entire codeword. Local decodability…

We propose a new construction for low-density source codes with multiple parameters that can be tuned to optimize the performance of the code. In addition, we introduce a set of analysis techniques for deriving upper bounds for the expected…

We determine the rate region of the Gaussian scalar-help-vector source-coding problem under a covariance matrix distortion constraint. The rate region is achieved by a Gaussian achievable scheme. We introduce a novel outer bounding…

We characterise bounds on the optimal broadcast rate for a few classes of pliable-index-coding instances. Unlike the majority of currently solved instances, which belong to a special class where all receivers with a certain side-information…

An intuitive outer bound for the multiterminal source coding problem is given. The proposed bound explicitly couples the rate distortion functions for each source and correlation measures which derive from a "strong" data processing…

This paper studies a special class of multicast index coding problems where a sender transmits messages to multiple receivers, each with some side information. Here, each receiver knows a unique message a priori, and there is no restriction…
