An index code is said to be locally decodable if each receiver can decode its demand using its side information and by querying only a subset of the transmitted codeword symbols instead of observing the entire codeword. Local decodability…

The index coding problem aims to optimise broadcast communication by taking advantage of receiver-side information to improve transmission efficiency. In this letter, we explore the application of Construction $\pi_A$ lattices to index…

A source coding problem over a noiseless broadcast channel where the source is pre-informed about the contents of the cache of all receivers, is an index coding problem. Furthermore, if each message is requested by one receiver, then we…

Index coding is a source coding problem in which a broadcaster seeks to meet the different demands of several users, each of whom is assumed to have some prior information on the data held by the sender. If the sender knows its clients'…
