The broadcast nature of wireless communication renders it inherently vulnerable to security threats such as jamming and eavesdropping. While traditional array beamforming techniques help to mitigate these threats, they usually incur high…
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication, which operates at high frequencies, has gained extensive research interest due to its significantly wide spectrum and short wavelengths. However, mmWave communication suffers from the notable…
Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite Internet of Things (IoT) has been identified as one of the important components of the sixth-generation (6G) non-terrestrial networks (NTN) to provide ubiquitous connectivity. Due to the low orbit altitude…
Constructing optimal $(r,\delta)$-LRCs that attain the Singleton-type bound is an active and important research direction, particularly due to their practical applications in distributed storage systems. In this paper, we focus on the…
This paper investigates energy efficiency maximization for movable antenna (MA)-aided multi-user uplink communication systems by considering the time delay and energy consumption incurred by practical antenna movement. We first examine the…
The sphere-packing bound quantifies the error exponent for noisy channel coding for rates above a critical value. Here, we study the zero-rate limit of the sphere-packing bound and show that it has an intriguing single-letter form, which we…
This paper revisits the problems of Private Information Retrieval (PIR) and Symmetric PIR (SPIR). In PIR, a user retrieves a desired message from $N$ replicated, non-communicating databases, each storing the same $M$ messages, while…
This paper shows that, with high probability, randomly punctured Reed-Solomon codes over fields of polynomial size achieve the list decoding capacity. More specifically, we prove that for any $\epsilon>0$ and $R\in (0,1)$, with high…
Metrization of statistical divergences is valuable in both theoretical and practical aspects. One approach to obtaining metrics associated with divergences is to consider their fractional powers. Motivated by this idea, Os\'an, Bussandri,…
Semantic communication is an emerging research area that has gained a wide range of attention recently. Despite this growing interest, there remains a notable absence of a comprehensive and widely-accepted framework for characterizing…
In this paper, we propose a new and optimal construction of two-dimensional (2-D) Z-complementary array code set (ZCACS) using multivariable extended Boolean functions (EBFs). The proposed 2-D arrays have many applications in modern…
In this note, we reveal a relation between the weight distribution of a concatenated code ensemble based on the Plotkin construction and those of its component codes. The relation may find applications in the calculation of the ensemble…
In this paper, we study employing movable components on both base station (BS) and intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) in a wideband terahertz (THz) multiple-input-single-output (MISO) system, where the BS is equipped with a movable…
Reed-Solomon codes are a classic family of error-correcting codes consisting of evaluations of low-degree polynomials over a finite field on some sequence of distinct field elements. They are widely known for their optimal unique-decoding…
Driven by the demands of high-frequency wireless communications in 5G and 6G systems (e.g., mmWave, sub-THz), we explore a state-dependent {\em Gaussian beam-pointing} (GBP) channel. In this model, the channel state defines an unknown angle…
This paper investigates the secrecy capacity of the binary beampointing (BBP) channel with block memory and feedback, a simplified yet insightful model for millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems with beamformed transmissions and backscatter…
We study perfect codes in the sum-rank metric, a generalization of both the Hamming and rank metrics relevant in multishot network coding and space-time coding. A perfect code attains equality in the sphere-packing bound, corresponding to a…
Traditional state estimation methods rely on probabilistic assumptions that often collapse epistemic uncertainty into scalar beliefs, risking overconfidence in sparse or adversarial sensing environments. We introduce the Epistemic…
This paper seeks to determine the most efficient uplink technique for cell-free massive MIMO systems. Despite offering great advances, existing works suffer from fragmented methodologies and inconsistent assumptions (e.g., single- vs.…
Cell-free (CF) massive MIMO offers uniform service via distributed access points (APs), which impose high deployment costs. A novel design called hierarchical cell-free (HCF) addresses this problem by replacing some APs with a central base…
