We consider a simple multiple access network in which a destination node receives information from multiple sources via a set of relay nodes. Each relay node has access to a subset of the sources, and is connected to the destination by a…
The distributed source coding problem is considered when the sensors, or encoders, are under Byzantine attack; that is, an unknown number of sensors have been reprogrammed by a malicious intruder to undermine the reconstruction at the…
Two typical fixed-length random number generation problems in information theory are considered for general sources. One is the source resolvability problem and the other is the intrinsic randomness problem. In each of these problems, the…
