This paper reviews the theoretical and practical principles of the broadcast approach to communication over state-dependent channels and networks in which the transmitters have access to only the probabilistic description of the…
A communication setup is considered where a transmitter wishes to simultaneously sense its channel state and convey a message to a receiver. The state is estimated at the transmitter by means of generalized feedback, i.e. a strictly causal…
We study a $K$-user coded-caching broadcast problem in a joint source-channel coding framework. The transmitter observes a database of files that are being generated at a certain rate per channel use, and each user has a cache, which can…
Contract scheduling is a general technique that allows to design a system with interruptible capabilities, given an algorithm that is not necessarily interruptible. Previous work on this topic has largely assumed that the interruption is a…
This paper focuses on the 1-to-K broadcast packet erasure channel (PEC), which is a generalization of the broadcast binary erasure channel from the binary symbol to that of arbitrary finite fields GF(q) with sufficiently large q. We…
In $k$-ported message-passing systems, a processor can simultaneously receive $k$ different messages from $k$ other processors, and send $k$ different messages to $k$ other processors that may or may not be different from the processors…
In this paper we focus on the distributed quantized average consensus problem in open multi-agent systems consisting of dynamic directed communication links among active nodes. We propose three communication-efficient distributed algorithms…

We study distributed convex optimization with two ubiquitous forms of coupling: consensus constraints and global affine equalities. We first design a linearized method of multipliers for the consensus optimization problem. Without…
The compound secure groupcast problem is considered, where the key variables at $K$ receivers are designed so that a transmitter can securely groupcast a message to any $N$ out of the $K$ receivers through a noiseless broadcast channel. The…
We consider the problem of estimating the arithmetic average of a finite collection of real vectors stored in a distributed fashion across several compute nodes subject to a communication budget constraint. Our analysis does not rely on any…
A simple feedback control algorithm is presented for distributed beamforming in a wireless network. A network of wireless sensors that seek to cooperatively transmit a common message signal to a Base Station (BS) is considered. In this…
This paper addresses the problem of distributed state estimation via multiple access channels (MACs). We consider a scenario where two encoders are simultaneously communicating their measurements through a noisy channel. Firstly, the…
This paper studies the consensus control problem faced with three essential demands, namely, discrete control updating for each agent, discrete-time communications among neighboring agents, and the fully distributed fashion of the…
An emerging trend of next generation communication systems is to provide network edges with additional capabilities such as storage resources in the form of caches to reduce file delivery latency. To investigate this aspect, we study the…
We investigate the maximum coding rate for a given average blocklength and error probability over a K-user discrete memoryless broadcast channel for the scenario where a common message is transmitted using variable-length stop-feedback…
We characterize the communication complexity of the following distributed estimation problem. Alice and Bob observe infinitely many iid copies of $\rho$-correlated unit-variance (Gaussian or $\pm1$ binary) random variables, with unknown…
We consider the scenario of $n$ sensor nodes observing streams of data. The nodes are connected to a central server whose task it is to compute some function over all data items observed by the nodes. In our case, there exists a total order…
Consider a sensor network made of remote nodes connected to a common fusion center. In a recent work Blum and Sadler [1] propose the idea of ordered transmissions -sensors with more informative samples deliver their messages first- and…
In this poster paper we present a data dissemination transmission abstraction for over the air programming (OAP) protocol which is fundamentally different from the previous hop by hop transmission protocols. Instead of imposing the greedy…
