Deep learning has enabled significant advances in feedback-based channel coding, yet existing learned schemes remain fundamentally limited: they employ fixed block lengths, suffer degraded performance at high rates, and cannot fully exploit…
In communication through asymmetric channels the capacity-achieving input distribution is not uniform in general. Homophonic coding is a framework to invertibly convert a (usually uniform) message into a sequence with some target…
Variable-length compression without prefix-free constraints and with side-information available at both encoder and decoder is considered. Instead of requiring the code to be error-free, we allow for it to have a non-vanishing error…

This study investigates the fundamental limits of variable-length compression in which prefix-free constraints are not imposed (i.e., one-to-one codes are studied) and non-vanishing error probabilities are permitted. Due in part to a…
We study channel simulation under common randomness assistance in the finite-blocklength regime and identify the smooth channel max-information as a linear program one-shot converse on the minimal simulation cost for fixed error tolerance.…
This paper investigates variable-length stop-feedback codes for memoryless channels in point-to-point, multiple access, and random access communication scenarios. The proposed codes employ $L$ decoding times $n_1, n_2, \dots, n_L$ for the…
