In this paper, we consider a scenario where a source node wishes to broadcast two confidential messages for two respective receivers via a Gaussian MIMO broadcast channel. A wire-tapper also receives the transmitted signal via another MIMO…

We study two-receiver Poisson channels using tools derived from stochastic calculus. We obtain a general formula for the mutual information over the Poisson channel that allows for conditioning and the use of auxiliary random variables. We…
Marton's inner bound is the best known achievable region for a general discrete memoryless broadcast channel. To compute Marton's inner bound one has to solve an optimization problem over a set of joint distributions on the input and…

We develop bounds on the capacity of Poisson-repeat channels (PRCs) for which each input bit is independently repeated according to a Poisson distribution. The upper bounds are obtained by considering an auxiliary channel where the output…
A coding scheme for transmission of a bit maps a given bit to a sequence of channel inputs (called the codeword associated to the transmitted bit). In this paper, we study the problem of designing the best code for a discrete Poisson…
