The capacity of time-varying channels with periodic feedback at the transmitter is evaluated. It is assumed that the channel state information is perfectly known at the receiver and is fed back to the transmitter at the regular…
It is a well-known fact that feedback does not increase the capacity of point-to-point memoryless channels, however, its effect in secure communications is not fully understood yet. In this work, an achievable scheme for the wiretap channel…
We exhibit discrete memoryless quantum channels whose quantum capacity assisted by two-way classical communication, $Q_2$, exceeds their unassisted one-shot Holevo capacity $C_H$. These channels may be thought of as having a data input and…
Evaluating the channel capacity is one of many key problems in information theory. In this work we derive rather-mild sufficient conditions under which the capacity is finite and achievable. These conditions are derived for generic,…
We prove the partial strong converse property for the discrete memoryless \emph{non-degraded} wiretap channel, for which we require the leakage to the eavesdropper to vanish but allow an asymptotic error probability $\epsilon \in [0,1)$ to…
In the "Bits Through Queues" paper, it was hypothesized that full feedback always increases the capacity of first-in-first-out queues, except when the service time distribution is memoryless. More recently, a non-explicit sufficient…
The channel polarization behavior of polar codes under noise with memory is investigated. By introducing a genie-aided channel model, we first show that the polarized subchannels still converge to extremal channels under the standard polar…
Given the possibility of communication systems failing catastrophically, we investigate limits to communicating over channels that fail at random times. These channels are finite-state semi-Markov channels. We show that communication with…
We consider spatially coupled code ensembles. A particular instance are convolutional LDPC ensembles. It was recently shown that, for transmission over the memoryless binary erasure channel, this coupling increases the belief propagation…
We propose an iterative method for approximately computing the capacity of discrete memoryless channels, possibly under additional constraints on the input distribution. Based on duality of convex programming, we derive explicit upper and…
We obtain a new upper bound on the capacity of a class of discrete memoryless relay channels. For this class of relay channels, the relay observes an i.i.d. sequence $T$, which is independent of the channel input $X$. The channel is…
This paper investigates the information-theoretic limits of energy-harvesting (EH) channels in the finite blocklength regime. The EH process is characterized by a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with finite variances. We use the…
In this paper, we study a model of communication under adversarial noise. In this model, the adversary makes online decisions on whether to corrupt a transmitted bit based on only the value of that bit. Like the usual binary symmetric…
The capacity of a discrete-time memoryless channel, in which successive symbols fade independently, and where the channel state information (CSI) is neither available at the transmitter nor at the receiver, is considered at low SNR. We…
We address the problem of correcting a single error in an arbitrary discrete memoryless channel with error-free instantaneous feedback. For the case of a one-time feedback, we propose a method for constructing optimal transmission…
The Finite Transmission Feedback Information (FTFI) capacity is characterized for any class of channel conditional distributions $\big\{{\bf P}_{B_i|B^{i-1}, A_i} :i=0, 1, \ldots, n\big\}$ and $\big\{ {\bf P}_{B_i|B_{i-M}^{i-1}, A_i} :i=0,…
We consider the discrete, time-varying broadcast channel with memory under the assumption that the channel states belong to a set of finite cardinality. We first define the physically degraded finite-state broadcast channel for which we…
We derive a lower and upper bound on the reliability function of discrete memoryless multiple-access channel (MAC) with noiseless feedback and variable-length codes (VLCs). For the upper-bound, we use proof techniques of Burnashev for the…
For the class of the memoryless binary-input channels which are not necessarily symmetric, we derive tight bounds on the capacity in terms of the Bhattacharyya parameter. As it turns out, the bounds derived under the symmetric channel…
The traditional notion of capacity studied in the context of memoryless network communication builds on the concept of block-codes and requires that, for sufficiently large blocklength n, all receiver nodes simultaneously decode their…
