In this paper, we consider a recent channel model of a nanopore sequencer proposed by McBain, Viterbo, and Saunderson (2024), termed the noisy nanopore channel (NNC). In essence, an NNC is a duplication channel with structured, Markov…
The growing privacy concerns in distributed learning have led to the widespread adoption of secure aggregation techniques in distributed machine learning systems, such as federated learning. Motivated by a coded gradient aggregation problem…
This paper considers the quality-of-service (QoS)-based joint beamforming and compression design problem in the downlink cooperative cellular network, where multiple relay-like base stations (BSs), connected to the central processor via…
To assess the quality of a probabilistic prediction for stochastic dynamical systems (SDSs), scoring rules assign a numerical score based on the predictive distribution and the measured state. In this paper, we propose an…
The exponential strong converse for a coding problem states that, if a coding rate is beyond the theoretical limit, the correct probability converges to zero exponentially. For the lossy source coding with side-information, also known as…
In this paper, by treating Reed-Muller (RM) codes as a special class of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and assuming that sub-blocks of the parity-check matrix are randomly interleaved to each other as Gallager's codes, we present a…
Past works on remote lossy source coding studied the rate under average distortion and the error exponent of excess distortion probability. In this work, we look into how fast the excess distortion probability converges to 1 at small rates,…

Affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM), tailored as a superior multicarrier technique utilizing chirp signals for high-mobility communications, is envisioned as a promising candidate for the sixth-generation (6G) wireless network.…
We observe an infinite sequence of independent identically distributed random variables $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ drawn from an unknown distribution $p$ over $[n]$, and our goal is to estimate the entropy $H(p)=-\mathbb{E}[\log p(X)]$ within an…
We revisit sequential outlier hypothesis testing and derive bounds on achievable exponents when both the nominal and anomalous distributions are unknown. The task of outlier hypothesis testing is to identify the set of outliers that are…
Although user cooperation cannot improve the capacity of Gaussian two-way channels (GTWCs) with independent noises, it can improve communication reliability. In this work, we aim to enhance and balance the communication reliability in GTWCs…
In this study we derive novel optimal algorithms for joint power control and beamforming design in modern large-scale MIMO systems, such as those based on the cell-free massive MIMO and XL-MIMO concepts. In particular, motivated by the need…
The mutual information is bounded from above by a decreasing affine function of the square of the distance between the input distribution and the set of all capacity-achieving input distributions $\Pi_{\mathcal{A}}$, on small enough…
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) represent a transformative technology for sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications, but it suffers from a significant limitation, namely the double-fading attenuation. Active RIS has emerged as…
In this paper, we propose a new erasure decoding algorithm for convolutional codes using the generator matrix. This implies that our decoding method also applies to catastrophic convolutional codes in opposite to the classic approach using…
Distributed systems, such as biological and artificial neural networks, process information via complex interactions engaging multiple subsystems, resulting in high-order patterns with distinct properties across scales. Investigating how…
