In this work we investigate the behavior of the minimal rate needed in order to guarantee a given probability that the distortion exceeds a prescribed threshold, at some fixed finite quantization block length. We show that the excess coding…
We study the problem of zero-delay coding for the transmission of a Markov source over a noisy channel with feedback and present a reinforcement learning solution which is guaranteed to achieve near-optimality. To this end, we formulate the…
Our understanding of information in systems has been based on the foundation of memoryless processes. Extensions to stable Markov and auto-regressive processes are classical. Berger proved a source coding theorem for the marginally unstable…
We show how real-number codes can be used to compress correlated sources, and establish a new framework for lossy distributed source coding, in which we quantize compressed sources instead of compressing quantized sources. This change in…
Wyner's common information was originally defined for a pair of dependent discrete random variables. Its significance is largely reflected in, hence also confined to, several existing interpretations in various source coding problems. This…
We consider both channel coding and source coding, with perfect past feedback/feedforward, in the presence of side information. It is first observed that feedback does not increase the capacity of the Gel'fand-Pinsker channel, nor does…
This paper investigates an information-theoretic model of secure semantic-aware communication. For this purpose, we consider the lossy joint source-channel coding (JSCC) of a memoryless semantic source transmitted over a memoryless wiretap…
We consider the discrete memoryless degraded broadcast channels with feedback. We prove that the error probability of decoding tends to one exponentially for rates outside the capacity region and derive an explicit lower bound of this…
In this paper, we consider a class of multiterminal source coding problems, each subject to distortion constraints computed using a specific, entropy-based, distortion measure. We provide the achievable rate distortion region for two cases…
A tight converse bound to channel coding rate in the finite block-length regime and under AWGN conditions was recently proposed by Polyanskiy, Poor, and Verdu (PPV). The bound is a generalization of a number of other classical results, and…
A distributed lossy compression network with $L$ encoders and a decoder is considered. Each encoder observes a source and sends a compressed version to the decoder. The decoder produces a joint reconstruction of target signals with the mean…
This paper investigates the joint source-channel coding problem of sending a memoryless source over a memoryless broadcast channel. An inner bound and several outer bounds on the admissible distortion region are derived, which respectively…
The optimal causal coding of a partially observed Markov process is studied, where the cost to be minimized is a bounded, non-negative, additive, measurable single-letter function of the source and the receiver output. A structural result…
We prove new strong converse results in a variety of group testing settings, generalizing a result of Baldassini, Johnson and Aldridge. These results are proved by two distinct approaches, corresponding to the non-adaptive and adaptive…
We study different notions of pointwise redundancy in variable-length lossy source coding. We present a construction of one-shot variable-length lossy source coding schemes using the Poisson functional representation, and give bounds on its…
We study the problem of lossy joint source-channel coding in a single-user energy harvesting communication system with causal energy arrivals and the energy storage unit may have leakage. In particular, we investigate the achievable…

This paper deals with a coding problem called complementary delivery, where messages from two correlated sources are jointly encoded and each decoder reproduces one of two messages using the other message as the side information. Both…
