We investigate the second order asymptotics (source dispersion) of the successive refinement problem. Similarly to the classical definition of a successively refinable source, we say that a source is strongly successively refinable if…

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…

We first study the two-user additive noise multiple access channel (MAC) where the noise distribution is arbitrary. For such a MAC, we use spherical codebooks and either joint nearest neighbor (JNN) or successive interference cancellation…

In this paper we study the nonasymptotic bounds of a special Joint Source-Channel Coding system with hierarchical source, where an observable source and an unobservable indirect source are required to be reconstructed. Namely, we focus on…

In this correspondence, we correct an erroneous result on the achievability part of the R\'enyi common information with order $1+s\in(1,2]$ in [1]. The new achievability result (upper bound) of the R\'enyi common information no longer…

In this paper, we study the state-dependent two-user interference channel, where the state information is non-causally known at both transmitters but unknown to either of the receivers. We propose two coding schemes for the discrete…

Wyner-Ziv coding (WZC) is a compression technique using decoder side information, which is unknown at the encoder, to help the reconstruction. In this paper, we propose and implement a new WZC structure, called residual WZC, for the…

We consider the problem of securing a multicast network against a wiretapper that can intercept the packets on a limited number of arbitrary network edges of its choice. We assume that the network employs the network coding technique to…

We extend Ziv and Lempel's model of finite-state encoders to the realm of lossy compression of individual sequences. In particular, the model of the encoder includes a finite-state reconstruction codebook followed by an information lossless…

In this paper, we analyze the indirect source coding problem with side information at both the encoder and decoder, as well as only at the decoder. We first derive structural properties of the two rate distortion functions (RDFs) for…
