In this paper, we propose a new coding scheme and establish new bounds on the capacity region for the multi-sender unicast index-coding problem. We revisit existing partitioned Distributed Composite Coding (DCC) proposed by Sadeghi et al.…

This paper studies a variant of the Pliable Index CODing (PICOD) problem, i.e., an index coding problem where a user can be satisfied by decoding any message that is not in its side information set, where communication is decentralized,…

In this paper, we present a general formula for the capacity region of a general interference channel with two pairs of users. The formula shows that the capacity region is the union of a family of rectangles, where each rectangle is…

We consider the \emph{functional index coding problem} over an error-free broadcast network in which a source generates a set of messages and there are multiple receivers, each holding a set of functions of source messages in its cache,…

The identification capacity region of the compound broadcast channel is determined under an average error criterion, where the sender has no channel state information. We give single-letter identification capacity formulas for discrete…

We consider transmission over a general memoryless channel, with bounded decoding complexity per bit under message passing decoding. We show that the achievable rate is bounded below capacity if there is a finite success in the decoding in…

An index coding problem arises when there is a single source with a number of messages and multiple receivers each wanting a subset of messages and knowing a different set of messages a priori. The noiseless Index Coding Problem is to…
