In this paper, we consider orthogonal multiple access coding schemes, where correlated sources are encoded in a distributed fashion and transmitted, through additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels, to an access point (AP). At the AP,…

We consider secure computation of randomized functions between two users, where both the users (Alice and Bob) have inputs, Alice sends a message to Bob over a rate-limited, noise-free link, and then Bob produces the output. We study two…
We study achievable rates of reliable communication in a power-constrained two-way additive interference channel over the real alphabet where communication is disrupted by a power-constrained jammer. This models the wireless communication…

We present a new distributed model of probabilistically checkable proofs (PCP). A satisfying assignment $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ to a CNF formula $\varphi$ is shared between two parties, where Alice knows $x_1, \dots, x_{n/2}$, Bob knows…

We consider the problem of zero-error function computation with side information. Alice and Bob have correlated sources $X,Y$ with joint p.m.f. $p_{XY}(\cdot, \cdot)$. Bob wants to calculate $f(X,Y)$ with zero error. Alice encodes…
Alice and Bob are given $n$-bit integer pairs $(x,y)$ and $(a,b)$, respectively, and they must decide if $y=ax+b$. We prove that the randomised communication complexity of this Point--Line Incidence problem is $\Theta(\log n)$. This…
This paper studies the problem of extracting common randomness (CR) or secret keys from correlated random sources observed by two legitimate parties, Alice and Bob, through public discussion in the presence of an eavesdropper, Eve. We…
Shaping codes are used to generate code sequences in which the symbols obey a prescribed probability distribution. They arise naturally in the context of source coding for noiseless channels with unequal symbol costs. Recently, shaping…
Coded computing is a distributed paradigm that uses coding theory to introduce \textit{redundancy} and overcome bottlenecks in large-scale systems. In the same vein, randomized numerical linear algebra employs probabilistic methods to…
Explicit characterization of the capacity region of communication networks is a long standing problem. While it is known that network coding can outperform routing and replication, the set of feasible rates is not known in general.…

We consider the problem of communication over a network containing a hidden and malicious adversary that can control a subset of network resources, and aims to disrupt communications. We focus on omniscient node-based adversaries, i.e., the…
Two new constructions of linear code pairs $C_2 \subset C_1$ are given for which the codimension and the relative minimum distances $M_1(C_1,C_2)$, $M_1(C_2^\perp,C_1^\perp)$ are good. By this we mean that for any two out of the three…
