In this paper, we study covert communications between {a pair of} legitimate transmitter-receiver against a watchful warden over slow fading channels. There coexist multiple friendly helper nodes who are willing to protect the covert…

We establish a new outer bound for the capacity region of product broadcast channels. This outer bound matches Marton's inner bound for a variety of classes of product broadcast channels whose capacity regions were previously unknown. These…

We investigate the design of a broadcast system where the aim is to maximise the throughput. This task is usually challenging due to the channel variability. Modern satellite communications systems such as DVB-SH and DVB-S2 mainly rely on…

In this work, we propose a covert communication scheme where the transmitter attempts to hide its transmission to a full-duplex receiver, from a warden that is to detect this covert transmission using a radiometer. Specifically, we first…

Due to the short and bursty incoming messages, channel access activities in a wireless random access system are often fractional. The lack of frequent data support consequently makes it difficult for the receiver to estimate and track the…

This paper studies the problem of secure communcation over the two-receiver discrete memoryless broadcast channel with one-sided receiver side information and with a passive eavesdropper. We proposed a coding scheme which is based upon the…

In this paper, we investigate the capacity of finite-state channels (FSCs) in presence of delayed feedback. We show that the capacity of a FSC with delayed feedback can be computed as that of a new FSC with instantaneous feedback and an…

The one-bit deletion and duplication channel is investigated. An input to this channel consists of a block of bits which experiences either a deletion, or a duplication, or remains unchanged. For this channel a capacity expression is…

An outer bound to the capacity region of the two-receiver discrete memoryless broadcast channel is given. The outer bound is tight for all cases where the capacity region is known. When specialized to the case of no common information, this…

We consider a generalization of the discrete memoryless channel, in which the channel probability distribution is replaced by a uniform distribution over clouds of channel output sequences. For a random ensemble of such channels, we derive…

Replicating or caching popular content in memories distributed across the network is a technique to reduce peak network loads. Conventionally, the main performance gain of this caching was thought to result from making part of the requested…

In this paper we consider the problem of secure network coding where an adversary has access to an unknown subset of links chosen from a known collection of links subsets. We study the capacity region of such networks, commonly called…

In the worst-case distributed source coding (DSC) problem of [1], the smaller cardinality of the support-set describing the correlation in informant data, may neither imply that fewer informant bits are required nor that fewer informants…

Memoryless channels with deletion errors as defined by a stochastic channel matrix allowing for bit drop outs are considered in which transmitted bits are either independently deleted with probability $d$ or unchanged with probability…

We derive bounds on the noncoherent capacity of a very general class of multiple-input multiple-output channels that allow for selectivity in time and frequency as well as for spatial correlation. The bounds apply to peak-constrained…

This paper considers a binary channel with deletions and insertions, where each input bit is transformed in one of the following ways: it is deleted with probability d, or an extra bit is added after it with probability i, or it is…

We consider communication over channels whose statistics are not known in full, but can be parameterized as a finite family of memoryless channels. A typical approach to address channel uncertainty is to design codes for the worst channel…
