An interference alignment perspective is used to identify the simplest instances (minimum possible number of edges in the alignment graph, no more than 2 interfering messages at any destination) of index coding problems where non-Shannon…
We consider the `one-shot frame synchronization problem' where a decoder wants to locate a sync pattern at the output of a channel on the basis of sequential observations. We assume that the sync pattern of length N starts being emitted at…
We consider approximation algorithms for covering integer programs of the form min $\langle c, x \rangle $ over $x \in \mathbb{N}^n $ subject to $A x \geq b $ and $x \leq d$; where $A \in \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^{m \times n}$, $b \in…
The distributed index coding problem is studied, whereby multiple messages are stored at different servers to be broadcast to receivers with side information. First, the existing composite coding scheme is enhanced for the centralized…
This work continues the study of linear error correcting codes against adversarial insertion deletion errors (insdel errors). Previously, the work of Cheng, Guruswami, Haeupler, and Li \cite{CGHL21} showed the existence of asymptotically…
We study the index coding problem in the presence of an eavesdropper, where the aim is to communicate without allowing the eavesdropper to learn any single message aside from the messages it may already know as side information. We…
We consider a multi-cell massive MIMO system where a time-division duplex protocol is used to estimate the channel state information via uplink pilots. When maximum ratio combining (MRC) is used at the BSs, the re-use of pilots across cells…

This paper concerns non-overlapping codes, block codes motivated by synchronisation and DNA-based storage applications. Most existing constructions of these codes do not account for the restrictions posed by the physical properties of…
Spatially-coupled (SC) codes, known for their threshold saturation phenomenon and low-latency windowed decoding algorithms, are ideal for streaming applications and data storage systems. SC codes are constructed by partitioning an…
The Shortest Superstring Problem (SSP) consists, for a set of strings S = {s_1,...,s_n}, to find a minimum length string that contains all s_i, 1 <= i <= k, as substrings. This problem is proved to be NP-Complete and APX-hard. Guaranteed…
We consider static, external memory indexes for exact and approximate versions of the $k$-nearest neighbor ($k$-NN) problem, and show new lower bounds under a standard indivisibility assumption: - Polynomial space indexing schemes for…

Graph labeling problems have been widely studied in the last decades and have a vast area of application. In this work, we study the recently introduced S-labeling problem, in which the nodes get labeled using labels from 1 to |V | and for…
We consider a wireless broadcast station that transmits packets to multiple users. The packet requests for each user may overlap, and some users may already have certain packets. This presents a problem of broadcasting in the presence of…
