We address a decentralized wireless communication network with a fixed number $u$ of frequency sub-bands to be shared among $N$ transmitter-receiver pairs. It is assumed that the number of users $N$ is a random variable with a given…
We consider the problem of joint source and channel coding of structured data such as natural language over a noisy channel. The typical approach to this problem in both theory and practice involves performing source coding to first…
This letter investigates a new class of index coding problems. One sender broadcasts packets to multiple users, each desiring a subset, by exploiting prior knowledge of linear combinations of packets. We refer to this class of problems as…
In this paper, downlink transmission scheduling of popular files is optimized with the assistance of wireless cache nodes. Specifically, the requests of each file, which is further divided into a number of segments, are modeled as a Poisson…
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…
Random linear network code has to sacrifice part of bandwidth to transfer the coding vectors, thus a head of size k log|T| is appended to each packet. We present a distributed random network coding approach based on the Chinese remainder…
Multicast remains a fundamental mechanism for scalable content distribution, yet existing approaches face critical limitations. Traditional multicast trees suffer from path redundancy and inefficient utilization of network resources, while…
Secure aggregation, which is a core component of federated learning, aggregates locally trained models from distributed users at a central server. The ``secure'' nature of such aggregation consists of the fact that no information about the…
Random binning is an efficient, yet complex, coding technique for the symmetric L-description source coding problem. We propose an alternative approach, that uses the quantized samples of a bandlimited source as "descriptions". By the…
We study common randomness where two parties have access to i.i.d. samples from a known random source, and wish to generate a shared random key using limited (or no) communication with the largest possible probability of agreement. This…
We consider the problem of storing segments of encoded versions of content files in a set of base stations located in a communication cell. These base stations work in conjunction with the main base station of the cell. Users move randomly…
The network coding problem asks whether data throughput in a network can be increased using coding (compared to treating bits as commodities in a flow). While it is well-known that a network coding advantage exists in directed graphs, the…
We are interested in how to best communicate a (usually real valued) source to a number of destinations (sinks) over a network with capacity constraints in a collective fidelity metric over all the sinks, a problem which we call joint…
Coded caching is a technique that leverages locally cached contents at the end users to reduce the network's peak-time communication load. Coded caching has been shown to achieve significant performance gains with a centralized placement…
We address the problem of optimizing the throughput of network coded traffic in mobile networks operating in challenging environments where connectivity is intermittent and locally available memory space is limited. Random linear network…
The problem of securing a network coding communication system against an eavesdropper adversary is considered. The network implements linear network coding to deliver n packets from source to each receiver, and the adversary can eavesdrop…
A low-complexity coding scheme is developed to achieve the rate region of maximum likelihood decoding for interference channels. As in the classical rate-splitting multiple access scheme by Grant, Rimoldi, Urbanke, and Whiting, the proposed…
Information theoretic analysis of a coded caching system is considered, in which a server with a database of N equal-size files, each F bits long, serves K users. Each user is assumed to have a local cache that can store M files, i.e.,…
Non-adaptive joint source network coding of correlated sources is discussed in this paper. By studying the information flow in the network, we propose quantized network coding as an alternative for packet forwarding. This technique has both…
