Cut-set bounds on achievable rates for network communication protocols are not in general tight. In this paper we introduce a new technique for proving converses for the problem of transmission of correlated sources in networks, that…
Recently, Muralidhar et al. proposed a novel multi-access system model where each user is connected to multiple caches in a manner that follows the well-known combinatorial topology of combination networks. For such multi-access topology,…
In this paper, we consider an intensity modulated direct detection MIMO optical wireless communication (OWC) system. For such a system, a novel super-rectangular cover theory is developed to characterize both the unique identifiability and…
Roughly speaking, an $(n,(r,s))$-Cover Free Family (CFF) is a small set of $n$-bit strings such that: "in any $d:=r+s$ indices we see all patterns of weight $r$". CFFs have been of interest for a long time both in discrete mathematics as…
We present simple coding strategies, which are variants of the Schalkwijk-Kailath scheme, for communicating reliably over additive white noise channels in the presence of corrupted feedback. More specifically, we consider a framework…
When implementing hierarchical federated learning over wireless networks, scalability assurance and the ability to handle both interference and device data heterogeneity are crucial. This work introduces a new two-level learning method…
An {\em ancestry labeling scheme} labels the nodes of any tree in such a way that ancestry queries between any two nodes in a tree can be answered just by looking at their corresponding labels. The common measure to evaluate the quality of…
This paper introduces the notion of cache-tapping into the information theoretic models of coded caching. The wiretap channel II in the presence of multiple receivers equipped with fixed-size cache memories, and an adversary which selects…
Nearly perfect packing codes are those codes that meet the Johnson upper bound on the size of error-correcting codes. This bound is an improvement to the sphere-packing bound. A related bound for covering codes is known as the van Wee…
Resistive random-access memory is one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of non-volatile memory technology. However, its crossbar structure causes severe "sneak-path" interference, which also leads to strong inter-cell…
As a strategy to further reduce the transmission pressure during the peak traffic times in wireless network, coded caching has been widely studied recently. And several coded caching schemes are constructed focusing on the two core problems…
The paper addresses the problem of defining families of ordered sequences $\{x_i\}_{i\in N}$ of elements of a compact subset $X$ of $R^d$ whose prefixes $X_n=\{x_i\}_{i=1}^{n}$, for all orders $n$, have good space-filling properties as…
We investigate labeling schemes supporting adjacency, ancestry, sibling, and connectivity queries in forests. In the course of more than 20 years, the existence of $\log n + O(\log \log)$ labeling schemes supporting each of these functions…
A $(v,k,t)$ {\em covering design}, or {\em covering}, is a family of $k$-subsets, called blocks, chosen from a $v$-set, such that each $t$-subset is contained in at least one of the blocks. The number of blocks is the covering's {\em size},…
Coded multicasting has been shown to improve the caching performance of content delivery networks with multiple caches downstream of a common multicast link. However, the schemes that have been shown to achieve order-optimal perfor- mance…
This paper studies fingerprinting (traitor tracing) games in which the number of colluders and the collusion channel are unknown. The fingerprints are embedded into host sequences representing signals to be protected and provide the…
Many complex natural and physical systems exhibit patterns of interconnection that conform, approximately, to a network structure referred to as scale-free. Preferential attachment is one of many algorithms that have been introduced to…
A labeling scheme for nearest common ancestors assigns a distinct binary string, called the label, to every node of a tree, so that given the labels of two nodes (and no further information about the topology of the tree) we can compute the…
The stochastic block model is one of the most studied network models for community detection. It is well-known that most algorithms proposed for fitting the stochastic block model likelihood function cannot scale to large-scale networks.…
