-We develop a polar coding scheme for empirical coordination in a two-node network with a noisy link in which the input and output signals have to be coordinated with the source and the reconstruction. In the case of non-causal encoding and…

We propose a scheme that universally achieves the smallest possible compression rate for a class of sources with side information, and develop an application of this result for a joint source channel coding problem over a broadcast channel.

In the context of the compressed sensing problem, we propose a new ensemble of sparse random matrices which allow one (i) to acquire and compress a {\rho}0-sparse signal of length N in a time linear in N and (ii) to perfectly recover the…

We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanism include node- or link- failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an over-estimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work…

The recently introduced polar codes constitute a breakthrough in coding theory due to their capacityachieving property. This goes hand in hand with a quasilinear construction, encoding, and successive cancellation list decoding procedures…

We derive novel upper and lower finite-length bounds of the error probability in joint source-channel coding when the source obeys an ergodic Markov process and the channel is a Markovian additive channel or a Markovian conditional additive…
