Semantic communication (SemCom) with learned encoder-decoder architectures enables end-to-end learning of compact task-oriented representations optimized for the wireless channel, reducing channel resources needed to convey task-relevant…
Any physical process can be represented as a quantum channel mapping an initial state to a final state. Hence it can be characterized from the point of view of communication theory, i.e., in terms of its ability to transfer information.…
Semantic communication is emerging as a key paradigm for 6G networks, where the goal is not to perfectly reconstruct bits but to preserve the meaning that matters for a given task. This shift can improve bandwidth efficiency, robustness,…
Semantic communication is deemed as a revolution of Shannon's paradigm in the six-generation (6G) wireless networks. It aims at transmitting the extracted information rather than the original data, which receivers will try to recover.…
The design of codes for communicating reliably over a statistically well defined channel is an important endeavor involving deep mathematical research and wide-ranging practical applications. In this work, we present the first family of…
Semantic communications are expected to become the core new paradigms of the sixth generation (6G) wireless networks. Most existing works implicitly utilize channel information for codecs training, which leads to poor communications when…
Despite its obvious relevance, meaning has been outside most theoretical approaches to information in biology. As a consequence, functional responses based on an appropriate interpretation of signals has been replaced by a probabilistic…
Semantic communication and edge-cloud collaborative intelligence are increasingly recognized as foundational enablers for next-generation intelligent services operating under stringent bandwidth, latency, and resource constraints. By…

We study reliable communication in uncoordinated vehicular communication from the perspective of Shannon theory. Our system model for the information transmission is that of an Arbitrarily Varying Channel (AVC): One sender-receiver pair…
While there are continuous efforts to introduce new communication systems and standards, it is legitimate to ask the question: how can one send additional bits by minimally changing the systems that are already operating? This is of a…
In Shannon's seminal paper, entropy of printed English, treated as a stationary stochastic process, was estimated to be roughly 1 bit per character. However, considered as a means of communication, language differs considerably from its…
Tokens are becoming the basic units through which foundation models represent and process information for understanding and inference. However, traditional wireless communication, centered on bit-level fidelity, faces a mismatch between…
Shannon's secrecy system is studied in a setting, where both the legitimate decoder and the wiretapper have access to side information sequences correlated to the source, but the wiretapper receives both the coded information and the side…
Semantic communications, which focus on transmitting the semantic meaning of data, have been proposed as a novel paradigm for achieving efficient and relevant communication. Meanwhile, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) enhances spectral…

Agent communication protocols are becoming critical infrastructure for large language model (LLM) systems that must use tools, coordinate with other agents, and operate across heterogeneous environments. This work presents a human-inspired…
Semantic communications target to reliably convey the semantic meaning of messages. It is different from existing communication systems focusing on reliable bit transmission. To achieve the goal of semantic communications, we propose a…
Traditional communication theory focuses on minimizing transmit power. However, communication links are increasingly operating at shorter ranges where transmit power can be significantly smaller than the power consumed in decoding. This…
