The problem of goal-oriented semantic filtering and timely source coding in multiuser communication systems is considered here. We study a distributed monitoring system in which multiple information sources, each observing a physical…
For source sequences of length L symbols we proposed to use a more realistic value to the usual benchmark of number of code letters by source letters. Our idea is based on a quantifier of information fluctuation of a source, F(U), which…
The effects of quantization and coding on the estimation quality of Gauss-Markov processes are considered, with a special attention to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Samples are acquired from the process, quantized, and then encoded for…
We consider periodical status updates between a transmitter and a legitimate receiver, in the presence of an eavesdropper that is sometimes able to capture pieces of information. We assume that, in the absence of such a threat, the…
We study the version age of information in a multi-hop multi-cast cache-enabled network, where updates at the source are marked with incrementing version numbers, and the inter-update times on the links are not necessarily exponentially…
Distributed source coding is traditionally viewed in the block coding context -- all the source symbols are known in advance at the encoders. This paper instead considers a streaming setting in which iid source symbol pairs are revealed to…
This paper investigates low-latency streaming codes for a three-node relay network. The source transmits a sequence of messages (streaming messages) to the destination through the relay between them, where the first-hop channel from the…
This paper considers transmitting a sequence of messages (a streaming source) over a packet erasure channel. In each time slot, the source constructs a packet based on the current and the previous messages and transmits the packet, which…
An index coding scheme in which the source (transmitter) transmits binary symbols over a wireless fading channel is considered. Index codes with the transmitter using minimum number of transmissions are known as optimal index codes.…
Modern sensing and monitoring applications typically consist of sources transmitting updates of different sizes, ranging from a few bytes (position, temperature, etc.) to multiple megabytes (images, video frames, LIDAR point scans, etc.).…
In this paper, we investigate the index coding problem in the presence of an eavesdropper. Messages are to be sent from one transmitter to a number of legitimate receivers who have side information about the messages, and share a set of…
Scheduling updates from remote sensors is a key task for the internet of things (IoT). In this context, the mathematical concept of age of information is often used to capture the freshness of received data. This is, in turn, relevant to…
An analog source is to be transmitted across a Gaussian channel in more than one channel use per source symbol. This paper derives a lower bound on the asymptotic mean squared error for a strategy that consists of repeatedly quantizing the…
We consider the age of information in a multicast network where there is a single source node that sends time-sensitive updates to $n$ receiver nodes. Each status update is one of two kinds: type I or type II. To study the age of…
We consider an information update system on a gossip network, where a source node encodes information into $n$ total keys such that any subset of at least $k+1$ keys can fully reconstruct the original information. This encoding process…
We consider a wireless communication network with an adaptive scheme to select the number of packets to be admitted and encoded for each transmission, and characterize the information timeliness. For a network of erasure channels and…
In this paper, we propose a new measure for the freshness of information, which uses the mutual information between the real-time source value and the delivered samples at the receiver to quantify the freshness of the information contained…
A sensor samples and transmits status updates to a destination through a wireless channel that wears out over time and with every use. At each time slot, the sensor can decide to sample and transmit a fresh status update, restore the…
The age of information minimization problems has been extensively studied in Real-time monitoring applications frameworks. In this paper, we consider the problem of monitoring the states of unknown remote source that evolves according to a…
The Age of Incorrect Information (AoII) is studied within the context of remote monitoring a Markov source using variable-length stop-feedback (VLSF) coding. Leveraging recent results on the non-asymptotic channel coding rate, we consider…
