We study jamming of an OFDM-modulated signal which employs forward error correction coding. We extend this to leverage reinforcement learning with a contextual bandit to jam a 5G-based system implementing some aspects of the 5G protocol.…

We study the problem of secure message multicasting over graphs in the presence of a passive (node) adversary who tries to eavesdrop in the network. We show that use of feedback, facilitated through the existence of cycles or undirected…

We study a lossy source coding problem for a memoryless remote source. The source data is broadcast over an arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) controlled by an adversary. One output of the AVC is received as input at the encoder, and another…

We identify the common underlying form of the capacity expression that is applicable to both cases where causal or non-causal side information is made available to the transmitter. Using this common form we find that for the single user…
