We study the fundamental network capacity of a multi-user wireless downlink under two assumptions: (1) Channels are not explicitly measured and thus instantaneous states are unknown, (2) Channels are modeled as ON/OFF Markov chains. This is…

We study communication over multiple access channels (MAC) where one of the users is possibly adversarial. When all users are non-adversarial, we want their messages to be decoded reliably. When an adversary is present, we consider two…
