We investigate practical short-blocklength coding for the semi-deterministic binary erasure wiretap channel (BE-WTC), where the main channel to the legitimate receiver is noiseless, and the eavesdropper's channel is a binary erasure channel…

We study finite-blocklength bounds for noisy permutation channels whose reachable output polytope may be lower-dimensional than the output simplex. Existing Gaussian achievability analyses focus on strictly positive full-rank square DMC…

A computable expression for the rate-distortion (RD) function proposed by Heegard and Berger has eluded information theory for nearly three decades. Heegard and Berger's single-letter achievability bound is well known to be optimal for…

The problem of blind identification of channel codes at a receiver involves identifying a code chosen by a transmitter from a known code-family, by observing the transmitted codewords through the channel. Most existing approaches for…

We show that it is possible to transmit and preserve information at short time scales over an n-fold composition of quantum channels $(\Xi^n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ modelled as a discrete quantum Markov semigroup, long enough to generate…

We consider a point-to-point communication system, where in addition to the encoder and the decoder, there is a helper that observes non-causally the realization of the noise vector and provides a (lossy) rate-$R_{\mbox{\tiny h}}$…

In this paper, we consider a semi-deterministic wiretap channel where the main channel is noiseless and the eavesdropper's channel is a binary erasure channel (BEC). We provide a lower bound for the achievable secrecy rates of polar and…

Optimal coding over the additive white Gaussian noise channel under the peak energy constraint is studied when there is noisy feedback over an orthogonal additive white Gaussian noise channel. As shown by Pinsker, under the peak energy…
