Covert communication can prevent an adversary from knowing that a wireless transmission has occurred. In additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels, a square root law is found that Alice can reliably and covertly transmit…
Given a quantum channel -- that is, a completely positive trace-preserving linear map -- as the only communication resource available between two parties, we consider the problem of characterizing the set of classical noisy channels that…
We consider the problem of reliable communication over multiple-access channels (MAC) where the channel is driven by an independent and identically distributed state process and the encoders and the decoder are provided with various degrees…
We consider the channel sensing problem arising in opportunistic scheduling over fading channels, cognitive radio networks, and resource constrained jamming. The communication system consists of N channels. Each channel is modeled as a…
Covert communication, also known as low probability of detection (LPD) communication, prevents the adversary from knowing that a communication is taking place. Recent work has demonstrated that, in a three-party scenario with a transmitter…
The problem of secure lossy source-channel wiretapping with arbitrarily correlated side informations at both receivers is investigated. This scenario consists of an encoder (referred to as Alice) that wishes to compress a source and send it…
We consider opportunistic communications over multiple channels where the state ("good" or "bad") of each channel evolves as independent and identically distributed Markov processes. A user, with limited sensing and access capability,…
In this paper, we investigate achievable rates for data transmission from sources to sinks through multiple relay networks. We consider myopic coding, a constrained communication strategy in which each node has only a local view of the…
We propose a novel formulation of the "effectiveness problem" in communications, put forth by Shannon and Weaver in their seminal work [2], by considering multiple agents communicating over a noisy channel in order to achieve better…
Secure communication in a potentially malicious environment becomes more and more important. The arbitrarily varying wiretap channel (AVWC) provides information theoretical bounds on how much information can be exchanged even in the…
In physical layer security (PHY-security), the frequently observed high correlation between the main and wiretap channels can cause a significant loss of secrecy. This paper investigates a slow fading scenario, where a transmitter (Alice)…
A new channel coding approach was proposed in [1] for random multiple access communication over the discrete-time memoryless channel. The coding approach allows users to choose their communication rates independently without sharing the…
In the binary online (or "causal") channel coding model, a sender wishes to communicate a message to a receiver by transmitting a codeword $\mathbf{x} =(x_1,\ldots,x_n) \in \{0,1\}^n$ bit by bit via a channel limited to at most $pn$…
We consider MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) wiretap channels, where a legitimate transmitter Alice is communicating with a legitimate receiver Bob in the presence of an eavesdropper Eve, and communication is done via MIMO channels. We…
We study list-decoding over adversarial channels governed by oblivious adversaries (a.k.a. oblivious Arbitrarily Varying Channels (AVCs)). This type of adversaries aims to maliciously corrupt the communication without knowing the actual…
In an arbitrarily varying channel (AVC), the channel has a state which is under the control of an adversarial jammer and the corresponding capacities are often functions of the "power" constraints on the transmitter and jammer. In this…
Suppose that Alice and Bob are located in distant laboratories, which are connected by an ideal quantum channel. Suppose further that they share many copies of a quantum state $\rho_{ABE}$, such that Alice possesses the $A$ systems and Bob…
We propose a method for MIMO decoding when channel state information (CSI) is unknown to both the transmitter and receiver. The proposed method requires some structure in the transmitted signal for the decoding to be effective, in…

We consider an echo-assisted communication model wherein block-coded messages, when transmitted across several frames, reach the destination as multiple noisy copies. We address adversarial attacks on such models wherein a subset of the…
