We consider analog error-correcting codes (analog ECCs) that are designed to correct/detect outlying errors arising in analog implementations of vector-matrix multiplication. The error-correction/detection capability of an analog ECC can be…

The Maximum Flow Problem with Conflict Constraints is a generalization that adds conflict constraints to a classical optimization problem on networks used to model several real-world applications. In the last few years several approaches,…
In this paper, we study two issues in asynchronous communication systems. The first issue is the derivation of sum capacity bounds for finite dimensional asynchronous systems. In addition, asymptotic results for the sum capacity bounds are…
Cross-validation (CV) is routinely used across the sciences to select models and tune parameters, and the resulting choices are often interpreted as substantive scientific conclusions (e.g., which variables, mechanisms, or risk factors are…
We show an interesting PBD-closure result for the set of lengths of constant-composition codes whose distance and size meet certain conditions. A consequence of this PBD-closure result is that the size of optimal constant-composition codes…
Concurrent coding is an unconventional encoding technique that simultaneously provides protection against noise, burst errors and interference. This simple-to-understand concept is investigated by distinguishing 2 types of code, open and…
In a recent paper, Jaggi et al. (INFOCOM 2007), presented a distributed polynomial-time rate-optimal network-coding scheme that works in the presence of Byzantine faults. We revisit their adversarial models and augment them with three,…
The Johnson-type upper bound on the maximum size of a code of length $n$, distance $d=2w-1$ and constant composition ${\overline{w}}$ is $\lfloor\dfrac{n}{w_1}\rfloor$, where $w$ is the total weight and $w_1$ is the largest component of…
Finite blocklength and second-order (dispersion) results are presented for the arbitrarily-varying channel (AVC), a classical model wherein an adversary can transmit arbitrary signals into the channel. A novel finite blocklength…

The capacity region of the Multicast Cognitive Interference Channel (CIFC) is investigated. This channel consists of two independent transmitters that wish to multicast two different messages, each of them to a different set of users. In…
We investigate robust linear consensus over networks under capacity-constrained communication. The capacity of each edge is encoded as an upper bound on the number of state variables that can be communicated instantaneously. When the edge…
In this paper, we propose a class of linear codes and obtain their weight distribution. Some of these codes are almost optimal. Moreover, several classes of constant composition codes(CCCs) are constructed as subcodes of linear codes.
We consider the problem of communication over a channel with a causal jamming adversary subject to quadratic constraints. A sender Alice wishes to communicate a message to a receiver Bob by transmitting a real-valued length-$n$ codeword…
The Pearson distance has been advocated for improving the error performance of noisy channels with unknown gain and offset. The Pearson distance can only fruitfully be used for sets of $q$-ary codewords, called Pearson codes, that satisfy…
A variable-length code is a fix-free code if no codeword is a prefix or a suffix of any other codeword. In a fix-free code any finite sequence of codewords can be decoded in both directions, which can improve the robustness to channel noise…
For $q,n,d \in \mathbb{N}$, let $A_q(n,d)$ be the maximum size of a code $C \subseteq [q]^n$ with minimum distance at least $d$. We give a divisibility argument resulting in the new upper bounds $A_5(8,6) \leq 65$, $A_4(11,8)\leq 60$ and…
