We consider a two-user random access system in which each user independently selects a coding scheme from a finite set for every message, without sharing these choices with the other user or with the receiver. The receiver aims to decode…

We consider the topic of universal decoding with a decoder that does not have direct access to the codebook, but only to noisy versions of the various randomly generated codewords, a problem motivated by biometrical identification systems.…

We study universal decoding over unknown discrete additive channels determined by a finite-state (unifilar) random process. Aiming at low-complexity decoders, we study variants of noise-guessing decoders that use estimators for the…

This paper studies pliable index coding, in which a sender broadcasts information to multiple receivers through a shared broadcast medium, and the receivers each have some message a priori and want any message they do not have. An approach,…
