We consider a source that shares updates with a network of $n$ gossiping nodes. The network's topology switches between two arbitrary topologies, with switching governed by a two-state continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) process.…

Constellation shaping is a well-established method to improve upon a regular quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). It is known that the gain achieved by any shaping method for an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is…

Motivated by the wide-ranging applications of Hamiltonian decompositions in distributed computing, coded caching, routing, resource allocation, load balancing, and fault tolerance, our work presents a comprehensive design for Hamiltonian…

We consider a molecular channel, in which messages are encoded to the frequency of objects in a pool, and whose output during reading time is a noisy version of the input frequencies, as obtained by sampling with replacement from the pool.…

We investigate the demand private coded caching problem, which is an $(N,K)$ coded caching problem with $N$ files, $K$ users, each equipped with a cache of size $M$, and an additional privacy constraint on user demands, i.e., each user can…

In traditional cellular networks, users at the cell edge often suffer from poor quality of service (QoS) due to large distance-dependent path loss and severe inter-cell interference. While cell-free (CF) massive multi-input multi-out (MIMO)…

We construct optimal secure coded distributed schemes that extend the known optimal constructions over fields of characteristic 0 to all fields. A serendipitous result is that we can encode \emph{all} functions over finite fields with a…

We propose a zero estimation cost (ZEC) scheme for causal-encoding noncausal-decoding vector-valued Witsenhausen counterexample based on the coordination coding result. In contrast to source coding, our goal is to communicate a controlled…

We study the problem of robust matrix completion (RMC), where the partially observed entries of an underlying low-rank matrix is corrupted by sparse noise. Existing analysis of the non-convex methods for this problem either requires the…

We study communication over a Gaussian multiple-access channel (MAC) with two types of transmitters: Digital transmitters hold a message from a discrete set that needs to be communicated to the receiver with vanishing error probability.…

In this work, in the THz UMa, extensive channel measurements are conducted and an accurate channel model is developed by combining ray-tracing, computer vision (CV), and statistical methods. Specifically, substantial channel measurement…

This work explores the channel estimation (CE) problem in uplink transmission for unsourced random access (URA) with a fluid antenna receiver. The additional spatial diversity in a fluid antenna system (FAS) addresses the needs of URA…

This paper addresses the unsourced/uncoordinated random access problem in an integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) system, with a focus on uplink multiple access code design. Recent theoretical advancements highlight that an ISAC…

Continuing previous works on MacWilliams theory over codes and lattices, a generalization of the MacWilliams theory over $\mathbb{Z}_k$ for $m$ codes is established, and the complete weight enumerator MacWilliams identity also holds for…

In this Part II of a two-part paper, we put forward secure network function computation, where in a directed acyclic network, a sink node is required to compute a target function of which the inputs are generated as source messages at…

In the short block length regime, pre-transformed polar codes together with successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding possess excellent error correction capabilities. However, in practice, the list size is limited due to the suboptimal…

In this paper, we study error exponents for a concatataned coding based class of DNA storage codes in which the number of reads performed can be variable. That is, the decoder can sequentially perform reads and choose whether to output the…

We establish a single-letter characterization of the fundamental distortion-rate-perception tradeoff with limited common randomness under the squared error distortion measure and the squared Wasserstein-2 perception measure. Moreover, it is…

In this study, we discuss the relationship between two families of density-power-based divergences with functional degrees of freedom -- the H\"{o}lder divergence and the functional density power divergence (FDPD) -- based on their…

We propose passive channel charting, an extension of channel charting to passive target localization. As in conventional channel charting, we follow a dimensionality reduction approach to reconstruct a physically interpretable map of target…
