We revisit the source coding problem for a Markov chain under the assumption that the transmission times and how fast the Markov chain transitions its state happen at the same time-scale. Specifically, we assume that the transmission of…

We examine lossless data compression from an average delay perspective. An encoder receives input symbols one per unit time from an i.i.d. source and submits binary codewords to a FIFO buffer that transmits bits at a fixed rate to a…

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…
