This paper studies the Pliable Index CODing problem (PICOD), which models content-type distribution networks. In the PICOD$(t)$ problem there are $m$ messages, $n$ users and each user has a distinct message side information set, as in the…
We study the problem of single-server multi-message private information retrieval with side information. One user wants to recover $N$ out of $K$ independent messages which are stored at a single server. The user initially possesses a…
The subblock energy-constrained codes (SECCs) and sliding window-constrained codes (SWCCs) have recently attracted attention due to various applications in communcation systems such as simultaneous energy and information transfer. In a…
An index code is said to be locally decodable if each receiver can decode its demand using its side information and by querying only a subset of the transmitted codeword symbols instead of observing the entire codeword. Local decodability…
The groupcast index coding problem is the most general version of the classical index coding problem, where any receiver can demand messages that are also demanded by other receivers. Any groupcast index coding problem is described by its…
This work introduces a hypergraph formulation that generalizes the classical paradigm of Bar-Yossef et al. to the multi-sender index coding (MSIC) setting. Central to the model is a 4-regular side-information hypergraph G, a new adjacency…
We consider network coding for a noiseless broadcast channel where each receiver demands a subset of messages available at the transmitter and is equipped with noisy side information in the form an erroneous version of the message symbols…
Because of their excellent asymptotic and finite-length performance, spatially-coupled (SC) codes are a class of low-density parity-check codes that is gaining increasing attention. Multi-dimensional (MD) SC codes are constructed by…
Sparse Vector Coding (SVC) has long been considered an encoding method that meets the URLLC QOS requirements. This encoding method has been widely studied and applied due to its low encoding and decoding complexity, no pilot transmission,…
This paper considers a base station that delivers packets to multiple receivers through a sequence of coded transmissions. All receivers overhear the same transmissions. Each receiver may already have some of the packets as side…
Index coding, or broadcasting with side information, is a network coding problem of most fundamental importance. In this problem, given a directed graph, each vertex represents a user with a need of information, and the neighborhood of each…
The min-rank of a digraph was shown by Bar-Yossef et al. (2006) to represent the length of an optimal scalar linear solution of the corresponding instance of the Index Coding with Side Information (ICSI) problem. In this work, the graphs…
The index coding problem includes a server, a group of clients, and a set of data chunks. While each client wants a subset of the data chunks and already has another subset as its side information, the server transmits some uncoded data…
In this work, we study the problem of index coding from graph homomorphism perspective. We show that the minimum broadcast rate of an index coding problem for different variations of the problem such as non-linear, scalar, and vector index…
The following source coding problem was introduced by Birk and Kol: a sender holds a word $x\in\{0,1\}^n$, and wishes to broadcast a codeword to $n$ receivers, $R_1,...,R_n$. The receiver $R_i$ is interested in $x_i$, and has prior…
Index coding achieves bandwidth savings by jointly encoding the messages demanded by all the clients in a broadcast channel. The encoding is performed in such a way that each client can retrieve its demanded message from its side…
This paper considers vector network coding solutions based on rank-metric codes and subspace codes. The main result of this paper is that vector solutions can significantly reduce the required alphabet size compared to the optimal scalar…
We establish a duality result between linear index coding and Locally Repairable Codes (LRCs). Specifically, we show that a natural extension of LRCs we call Generalized Locally Repairable Codes (GLCRs) are exactly dual to linear index…
In this work we study both the index coding with side information (ICSI) problem introduced by Birk and Kol in 1998 and the more general problem of index coding with coded side information (ICCSI), described by Shum et al in 2012. We…
