We address the worst-user bottleneck of wireless coded caching, which is known to severely diminish cache-aided multicasting gains due to the fundamental worst-channel limitation of multicasting transmission. We consider the quasi-static…

We derive upper and lower bounds for the error exponents of lossless streaming compression of two correlated sources under the blockwise and symbolwise settings. We consider the linear scaling regime in which the delay is a scalar multiple…

A new converse bound is presented for the two-user multiple-access channel under the average probability of error constraint. This bound shows that for most channels of interest, the second-order coding rate -- that is, the difference…

In leader-based protocols for State Machine Replication (SMR), the leader's outgoing bandwidth is a natural throughput bottleneck. Erasure coding can alleviate this by allowing the leader to send each processor a single fragment of each…
