Consider a sequence $X^n$ of length $n$ emitted by a Discrete Memoryless Source (DMS) with unknown distribution $p_X$. The objective is to construct a lossless source code that maps $X^n$ to a sequence $\widehat{Y}^m$ of length $m$ that is…
Much scientific work has focused on the generation of random numbers as well as the distribution of said random numbers for use as a cryptographic key. However, emphasis is often placed on one of the two to the exclusion of the other, but…
Two processors output correlated sequences using the help of a coordinator with whom they individually share independent randomness. For the case of unlimited shared randomness, we characterize the rate of communication required from the…
Let $X_i,i=0,1,\ldots$ be a sequence of iid random variables whose distribution is continuous. Associated with this sequence is the sequence $(i,X_i),i=0,1,\ldots$. Let ${\cal R}_{n}$ denote the set of Pareto optimal elements of $\{…
This paper applies Information Theoretic analysis to packet-based random multiple access communication systems. A new channel coding approach is proposed for coding within each data packet with built-in support for bursty traffic…
Correlated sources are present in communication systems where protocols ensure that there is some predetermined information for sources to transmit. Here, two correlated sources across a channel with eavesdroppers are investigated, and…
We consider core-periphery structured graphs, which are graphs with a group of densely and sparsely connected nodes, respectively, referred to as core and periphery nodes. The so-called core score of a node is related to the likelihood of…
This article presents a novel method for establishing an information theoretically secure encryption key over wireless channels. It exploits the fact that data transmission over wireless links is accompanied by packet error, while noise…
In this paper, a class of relay networks is considered. We assume that, at a node, outgoing channels to its neighbors are orthogonal, while incoming signals from neighbors can interfere with each other. We are interested in the multicast…
We study frequency allocation in wireless networks. A wireless network is modeled by an undirected graph, with vertices corresponding to cells. In each vertex we have a certain number of requests, and each of those requests must be assigned…
A novel code construction based on spatially coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes is presented. The proposed code ensembles are described by protographs, comprised of several protograph-based chains characterizing individual…
The context tree source is a source model in which the occurrence probability of symbols is determined from a finite past sequence, and is a broader class of sources that includes i.i.d. and Markov sources. The proposed source model in this…
We study a standard two-source model for common randomness (CR) generation in which Alice and Bob generate a common random variable with high probability of agreement by observing independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) samples of…
Engineered infrastructure systems pose inverse problems in which hidden states, unknown parameters, and subsystem couplings must be inferred from sparse and noisy measurements. These problems are difficult because physical subsystems are…
Constructions of woven graph codes based on constituent block and convolutional codes are studied. It is shown that within the random ensemble of such codes based on $s$-partite, $s$-uniform hypergraphs, where $s$ depends only on the code…
We formulate a model for intermittent communication that can capture bursty transmissions or a sporadically available channel, where in either case the receiver does not know a priori when the transmissions will occur. Focusing on the…
Given a real dataset and a computation family, we wish to encode and store the dataset in a distributed system so that any computation from the family can be performed by accessing a small number of nodes. In this work, we focus on the…
We consider a coded compressed sensing approach for the unsourced random access and replace the outer tree code proposed by Amalladinne et al. with the list recoverable code capable of correcting t errors. A finite-length random coding…
Suppose that a transmitter Alice potentially wishes to communicate with a receiver Bob over an adversarially jammed binary channel. An active adversary James eavesdrops on their communication over a binary symmetric channel (BSC(q)), and…
