Random linear network coding (RLNC) unicast protocol is analyzed over a rapidly-changing network topology. We model the probability mass function (pmf) of the dissemination time as a sequence of independent geometric random variables whose…
A code $\mathcal{C}(n, k, d)$ defined over $\texttt{GF}(q^{n})$ is conventionally designed to encode a $k$-symbol user data into a codeword of length $n$, resulting in a fixed-rate coding. This paper proposes a coding procedure to derive a…
In this paper, a real-time Internet of Things (IoT) monitoring system is considered in which the IoT devices are scheduled to sample underlying physical processes and send the status updates to a common destination. In a real-world IoT, due…
Encoding a sequence of observations is an essential task with many applications. The encoding can become highly efficient when the observations are generated by a dynamical system. A dynamical system imposes regularities on the observations…
We consider an information updating system where an information provider and an information receiver engage in an update process over time. Different from the existing literature where updates are countable (hard) and take effect either…

The proliferation of real-time applications has spurred much interest in data freshness, captured by the {\it age-of-information} (AoI) metric. When strategic data sources have private market information, a fundamental economic challenge is…
In this article, we investigate strategic information transmission over a noisy channel. This problem has been widely investigated in Economics, when the communication channel is perfect. Unlike in Information Theory, both encoder and…
Sparse Network Coding (SNC) has been a promising network coding scheme as an improvement for Random Linear Network Coding (RLNC) in terms of the computational complexity. However, in this literature, there has been no analytical expressions…
The $K$-receiver degraded broadcast channel with secrecy outside a bounded range is studied, in which a transmitter sends $K$ messages to $K$ receivers, and the channel quality gradually degrades from receiver $K$ to receiver 1. Each…

Query-based sampling has become an increasingly popular technique for monitoring Markov sources in pull-based update systems. However, most of the contemporary literature on this assumes an exponential distribution for query delay and often…
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…
We consider the following communication scenario. An encoder causally observes the Wiener process and decides when and what to transmit about it. A decoder makes real-time estimation of the process using causally received codewords. We…
Age of Information (AoI), which measures the time elapsed since the generation of the last received packet at the destination, is a new metric for real-time status update tracking applications. In this paper, we consider a status-update…
