A fundamental question in information theory is to quantify the loss of information under a noisy channel. Partial orders and contraction coefficients are typical tools to that end, however, they are often also challenging to evaluate. For…
We consider the source-channel separation architecture for lossy source coding in communication networks. It is shown that the separation approach is optimal in two general scenarios, and is approximately optimal in a third scenario. The…
We investigate the maximum coding rate achievable on a two-user broadcast channel for the case where a common message is transmitted with feedback using either fixed-blocklength codes or variable-length codes. For the fixed-blocklength-code…
For memoryless channels with continuous input alphabets, deterministic identification (DI) typically exhibits a linearithmic ($n\log n$) message growth. However, the exact DI capacity has long remained open due to a persistent gap between…
There are different inequivalent ways to define the R\'enyi capacity of a channel for a fixed input distribution $P$. In a 1995 paper Csisz\'ar has shown that for classical discrete memoryless channels there is a distinguished such quantity…
The cognitive interference channel is an interference channel in which one transmitter is non-causally provided with the message of the other transmitter. This channel model has been extensively studied in the past years and capacity…
This work develops a distributed optimization strategy with guaranteed exact convergence for a broad class of left-stochastic combination policies. The resulting exact diffusion strategy is shown in Part II to have a wider stability range…

We treat a random number generation from an i.i.d. probability distribution of $P$ to that of $Q$. When $Q$ or $P$ is a uniform distribution, the problems have been well-known as the uniform random number generation and the resolvability…
This paper concentrates on a robust transmit optimization problem for the multiuser multi-input single-output (MISO) downlink scenario and under inaccurate channel state information (CSI). This robust problem deals with a general-rank…
We determine the optimal achievable rate at which entanglement can be reliably transmitted when the memoryless channel used during transmission is unknown both to sender and receiver. To be more precise, we assume that both of them only…
In this paper, we consider noncoherent random linear coding networks (RLCNs) as a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) whose input and output alphabets consist of subspaces. This contrasts with previous channel models in the literature which…
We investigate optimal channel assignment algorithms that maximize per node throughput in dense multichannel multi-radio (MC-MR) wireless networks. Specifically, we consider an MC-MR network where all nodes are within the transmission range…
A new converse bound is presented for the two-user multiple-access channel under the average probability of error constraint. This bound shows that for most channels of interest, the second-order coding rate -- that is, the difference…
We consider the Conflict Resolution Problem in the context of a multiple-access system in which several stations can transmit their messages simultaneously to the channel. We assume that there are n stations and that at most k<= n stations…
Given a general channel, we first formulate the idetification capacity problem as well as the resolvability problem with input cost constraint in as the general form as possible, along with relevant fundamental theorems. Next, we establish…
We study the classical problem of characterizing the channel capacity and its achieving distribution in a generic fashion. We derive a simple relation between three parameters: the input-output function, the input cost function and the…
In this paper, we study a model of communication under adversarial noise. In this model, the adversary makes online decisions on whether to corrupt a transmitted bit based on only the value of that bit. Like the usual binary symmetric…
The quantization of the output of a binary-input discrete memoryless channel to a smaller number of levels is considered. An algorithm which finds an optimal quantizer, in the sense of maximizing mutual information between the channel input…
