We address single-user data transmission over a channel where the received signal incurs interference from a finite number of users (interfering users) that use single codebooks for transmitting their own messages. The receiver, however, is…

Throughput and per-packet delay can present strong trade-offs that are important in the cases of delay sensitive applications.We investigate such trade-offs using a random linear network coding scheme for one or more receivers in single hop…

We study the problem of simulating a two-user multiple-access channel (MAC) over a multiple access network of noiseless links. Two encoders observe independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) copies of a source random variable each,…

Secure aggregation is a fundamental primitive in privacy-preserving distributed learning systems, where an aggregator aims to compute the sum of users' inputs without revealing individual data. In this paper, we study a multi-server secure…

We consider the problem of block-coded communication, where in each block, the channel law belongs to one of two disjoint sets. The decoder is aimed to decode only messages that have undergone a channel from one of the sets, and thus has to…
