In the $q$-ary online (or "causal") channel coding model, a sender wishes to communicate a message to a receiver by transmitting a codeword $\mathbf{x} =(x_1,\ldots,x_n) \in \{0,1,\ldots,q-1\}^n$ symbol by symbol via a channel limited to at…
In the online channel coding model, a sender wishes to communicate a message to a receiver by transmitting a codeword x =(x_1,...,x_n) in {0,1}^n bit by bit via a channel limited to at most pn corruptions. The channel is online in the sense…
We consider the communication problem over binary causal adversarial erasure channels. Such a channel maps $n$ input bits to $n$ output symbols in $\{0,1,\wedge\}$, where $\wedge$ denotes erasure. The channel is causal if, for every $i$,…
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 upper bound on the capacity of a 3-node discrete memoryless relay channel is considered, where a source X wants to send information to destination Y with the help of a relay Z. Y and Z are independent given X, and the link from Z to Y…
The growing need for reliable communication over untrusted networks has caused a renewed interest in adversarial channel models, which often behave much differently than traditional stochastic channel models. Of particular practical use is…
We develop a systematic approach, based on convex programming and real analysis, for obtaining upper bounds on the capacity of the binary deletion channel and, more generally, channels with i.i.d. insertions and deletions. Other than the…
We study reliable communication over point-to-point adversarial channels in which the adversary can observe the transmitted codeword via some function that takes the $n$-bit codeword as input and computes an $rn$-bit output for some given…
This paper considers a binary channel with deletions. We derive two close form upper bound on the capacity of binary deletion channel. The first upper bound is based on computing the capacity of an auxiliary channel and we show how the…
In interactive coding, Alice and Bob wish to compute some function $f$ of their individual private inputs $x$ and $y$. They do this by engaging in a non-adaptive (fixed order, fixed length) protocol to jointly compute $f(x,y)$. The goal is…
A strong converse theorem for channel capacity establishes that the error probability in any communication scheme for a given channel necessarily tends to one if the rate of communication exceeds the channel's capacity. Establishing such a…
We characterize the capacity for the discrete-time arbitrarily varying channel with discrete inputs, outputs, and states when (a) the encoder and decoder do not share common randomness, (b) the input and state are subject to cost…
Low-capacity scenarios have become increasingly important in the technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the next generation of wireless networks. Such scenarios require efficient and reliable transmission over channels with an…
We derive an upper bound on the capacity of non-binary deletion channels. Although binary deletion channels have received significant attention over the years, and many upper and lower bounds on their capacity have been derived, such…
Shannon's channel coding theorem describes the maximum possible rate of reliable information transfer through a classical noisy communication channel. It, together with the source coding theorem, characterizes lossless channel communication…
The quantum channel capacity gives the ultimate limit for the rate at which quantum data can be reliably transmitted through a noisy quantum channel. Degradable quantum channels are among the few channels whose quantum capacities are known.…
The input-constrained binary erasure channel (BEC) with strictly causal feedback is studied. The channel input sequence must satisfy the $(0,k)$-runlength limited (RLL) constraint, i.e., no more than $k$ consecutive `$0$'s are allowed. The…
We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanism include node- or link- failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an over-estimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work…
