We consider the problem of estimating an upper bound on the capacity of a memoryless channel with unknown channel law and continuous output alphabet. A novel data-driven algorithm is proposed that exploits the dual representation of…

This paper shows that the logarithm of the epsilon-error capacity (average error probability) for n uses of a discrete memoryless channel is upper bounded by the normal approximation plus a third-order term that does not exceed 1/2 log n +…

We study the maximum achievable differential entropy at the output of a system assigning to each input X the sum X+N, with N a given noise with probability law absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure and where the input…

By the seminal paper of Claude Shannon \cite{Shannon48}, the computation of the capacity of a discrete memoryless channel has been considered as one of the most important and fundamental problems in Information Theory. Nearly 50 years ago,…

We consider the capacity of an energy harvesting communication channel with a finite-sized battery. As an abstraction of this problem, we consider a system where energy arrives at the encoder in multiples of a fixed quantity, and the…

We study the capacity region $C_L$ of an arbitrarily varying multiple-access channel (AVMAC) for deterministic codes with decoding into a list of a fixed size $L$ and for the average error probability criterion. Motivated by known results…

In this paper, the capacity of continuous-space electromagnetic channels, where transceivers are confined in given lossy regions, is analyzed. First of all, the regions confining the transceivers are assumed to be filled with dielectric,…

We investigate the fundamental limits of reliable communication over multi-view channels, in which the channel output is comprised of a large number of independent noisy views of a transmitted symbol. We consider first the setting of…

We study the capacity of the power-constrained additive Gaussian channel with an entropy constraint at the input. In particular, we characterize this capacity in the low signal-to-noise ratio regime at small entropy. This follows as a…

In extension of the bit commitment task and following work initiated by Crepeau and Kilian, we introduce and solve the problem of characterising the optimal rate at which a discrete memoryless channel can be used for bit commitment. It…

Memoryless channels with deletion errors as defined by a stochastic channel matrix allowing for bit drop outs are considered in which transmitted bits are either independently deleted with probability $d$ or unchanged with probability…

We consider the sequential quantum channel discrimination problem using adaptive and non-adaptive strategies. In this setting the number of uses of the underlying quantum channel is not fixed but a random variable that is either bounded in…

In many channel measurement applications, one needs to estimate some characteristics of the channels based on a limited set of measurements. This is mainly due to the highly time varying characteristics of the channel. In this contribution,…
