We study a one-shot joint source-channel coding setting where the source is encoded once and broadcast to $K$ decoders through independent channels. Success is predicated on at least one decoder recovering the source within a maximum…
Coding theorems and (strong) converses for memoryless quantum communication channels and quantum sources are proved: for the quantum source the coding theorem is reviewed, and the strong converse proven. For classical information…
We introduce a fundamental lemma called the Poisson matching lemma, and apply it to prove one-shot achievability results for various settings, namely channels with state information at the encoder, lossy source coding with side information…
We study the joint source channel coding problem of transmitting an analog source over a Gaussian channel in two cases - (i) the presence of interference known only to the transmitter and (ii) in the presence of side information known only…
A general lossless joint source-channel coding scheme based on linear codes is proposed and then analyzed in this paper. It is shown that a linear code with good joint spectrum can be used to establish limit-approaching joint source-channel…

Recently, a new notion of quantum R\'enyi divergences has been introduced by M\"uller-Lennert, Dupuis, Szehr, Fehr and Tomamichel, J.Math.Phys. 54:122203, (2013), and Wilde, Winter, Yang, Commun.Math.Phys. 331:593--622, (2014), that has…

This work is devoted to practical joint source channel coding. Although the proposed approach has more general scope, for the sake of clarity we focus on a specific application example, namely, the transmission of digital images over noisy…
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…
We study the transmission of two correlated and memoryless sources $(U,V)$ over several multiple-user phase asynchronous channels. Namely, we consider a class of phase-incoherent multiple access relay channels (MARC) with both non-causal…
Motivated from the fact that universal source coding on countably infinite alphabets is not feasible, this work introduces the notion of almost lossless source coding. Analog to the weak variable-length source coding problem studied by Han…
We propose a framework for second-order achievability, called type deviation convergence, that is generally applicable to settings in network information theory, and is especially suitable for lossy source coding and channel coding with…
A joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme based on hybrid digital/analog coding is proposed for the transmission of correlated sources over discrete-memoryless two-way channels (DM-TWCs). The scheme utilizes the correlation between the…
Lossless variable-length source coding with unequal cost function is considered for general sources. In this problem, the codeword cost instead of codeword length is important. The infimum of average codeword cost has already been…
Suppose that two senders each obtain one share of the output of a classical, bivariate, correlated information source. They would like to transmit the correlated source to a receiver using a quantum multiple access channel. In prior work,…
New channel coding converse and achievability bounds are derived for a single use of an arbitrary channel. Both bounds are expressed using a quantity called the "smooth 0-divergence", which is a generalization of Renyi's divergence of order…
