This paper studies a special class of multicast index coding problems where a sender transmits messages to multiple receivers, each with some side information. Here, each receiver knows a unique message a priori, and there is no restriction…

The problem of two-sender unicast index coding consists of two senders and a set of receivers. Each receiver demands a unique message and possesses some of the messages demanded by other receivers as its side-information. Every demanded…

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…

We study index-coding problems (one sender broadcasting messages to multiple receivers) where each message is requested by one receiver, and each receiver may know some messages a priori. This type of index-coding problems can be fully…

The index coding problem is a problem of efficient broadcasting with side-information. We look at the uniprior index coding problem, in which the receivers have disjoint side-information symbols and arbitrary demand sets. Previous work has…

We characterise bounds on the optimal broadcast rate for a few classes of pliable-index-coding instances. Unlike the majority of currently solved instances, which belong to a special class where all receivers with a certain side-information…

An index coding problem arises when there is a single source with a number of messages and multiple receivers each wanting a subset of messages and knowing a different set of messages a priori. The noiseless Index Coding Problem is to…

We study the fundamental problem of index coding under an additional privacy constraint that requires each receiver to learn nothing more about the collection of messages beyond its demanded messages from the server and what is available to…
