A $K$-user memoryless interference channel is considered where each receiver sequentially decodes the data of a subset of transmitters before it decodes the data of the designated transmitter. Therefore, the data rate of each transmitter…
A rateless coding scheme transmits incrementally more and more coded bits over an unknown channel until all the information bits are decoded reliably by the receiver. We propose a new rateless coding scheme based on polar codes, and we show…
Index coding models broadcast networks in which a sender sends different messages to different receivers simultaneously, where each receiver may know some of the messages a priori. The aim is to find the minimum (normalised) index…
