Signaling game problems investigate communication scenarios where encoder(s) and decoder(s) have misaligned objectives due to the fact that they either employ different cost functions or have inconsistent priors. This problem has been…

Source coding with a side information "vending machine" is a recently proposed framework in which the statistical relationship between the side information and the source, instead of being given and fixed as in the classical Wyner-Ziv…

We consider a real-time communication system with noisy feedback consisting of a Markov source, a forward and a backward discrete memoryless channels, and a receiver with finite memory. The objective is to design an optimal communication…

In this paper, we consider a privacy signaling game problem for binary alphabets and single-bit transmission where a transmitter has a pair of messages, one of which is a casual message that needs to be conveyed, whereas the other message…

We consider the source-channel separation architecture for lossy source coding in communication networks. It is shown that the separation approach is optimal in two general scenarios, and is approximately optimal in a third scenario. The…

Semantic communications are expected to accomplish various semantic tasks with relatively less spectrum resource by exploiting the semantic feature of source data. To simultaneously serve both the data transmission and semantic tasks, joint…

In this two-parts paper we propose a decentralized strategy, based on a game-theoretic formulation, to find out the optimal precoding/multiplexing matrices for a multipoint-to-multipoint communication system composed of a set of wideband…

Consider the channel coding problem where two users are interacting in order to communicate an i.i.d. source X1 from User 1 to User 2 with distortion D1 and an i.i.d. source X2 from User 2 to User 1 with distortion D2. X1 and X2 may be…

We consider transmitting a source across a pair of independent, non-ergodic channels with random states (e.g., slow fading channels) so as to minimize the average distortion. The general problem is unsolved. Hence, we focus on comparing two…

This paper studies the stability of communication protocols that deal with transmission errors. We consider a coordination game between an informed sender and an uninformed decision maker, the receiver, who communicate over a noisy channel.…

We study a one-shot joint source-channel coding setting where the source is encoded once and broadcast to $K$ decoders through independent channels. Success is predicated on at least one decoder recovering the source within a maximum…

In a decentralized and self-configuring network, the communication devices are considered as autonomous decision-makers that sense their environment and that implement optimal transmission schemes. It is essential that these autonomous…

We analyze Stackelberg Gaussian signaling games where the encoder and decoder have a linear sensitivity mismatch. Unlike the standard additive-bias model, a sensitivity mismatch means the encoder prefers the decoder to track a linear…

A coding problem for correlated information sources is investigated. Messages emitted from two correlated sources are jointly encoded, and delivered to two decoders. Each decoder has access to one of the two messages to enable it to…

Semantic communication is an emerging research area that has gained a wide range of attention recently. Despite this growing interest, there remains a notable absence of a comprehensive and widely-accepted framework for characterizing…

Action-dependent channels model scenarios in which transmission takes place in two successive phases. In the first phase, the encoder selects an "action" sequence, with the twofold aim of conveying information to the receiver and of…

A real-time communication system with two encoders communicating with a single receiver over separate noisy channels is considered. The two encoders make distinct partial observations of a Markov source. Each encoder must encode its…

Traditional distributed source coding rarely considers the possible link between separate encoders. However, the broadcast nature of wireless communication in sensor networks provides a free gossip mechanism which can be used to simplify…

This paper studies a particular sensor network model which involves one single Gaussian source observed by many sensors, subject to additive independent Gaussian observation noise. Sensors communicate with the receiver over an additive…
