Learned image compression allows achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and compression ratios, but their relatively slow runtime performance limits their usage. While previous attempts on optimizing learned image codecs focused more on the…
We consider streaming data transmission over a discrete memoryless channel. A new message is given to the encoder at the beginning of each block and the decoder decodes each message sequentially, after a delay of $T$ blocks. In this…
We define a class of multi--hop erasure networks that approximates a wireless multi--hop network. The network carries unicast flows for multiple users, and each information packet within a flow is required to be decoded at the flow…
