Near-field beamfocusing enabled by extremely large-aperture arrays (ELAA) is a promising 6G technique for massive connectivity and high spectrum efficiency. While beamfocusing concentrates energy at an intended user, the radiated field…
In the coded caching, the server uses the cached information at the users to serve multiple users in parallel with a single coded multi-casting message or packet, that is, a merged packet, and thus mitigates the peak network congestion. In…
We study the problem of secure joint source-channel coding for multimodal semantic sources transmitted over noisy wiretap channels. The source model consists of $m$ modalities (e.g., image, audio, and sensor data), all represented as random…
It is well known that, under standard regularity conditions, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) satisfies a central limit theorem and converges in distribution to a Gaussian random variable as the sample size grows. This paper…
In this paper we consider the variable-length lossless source coding for discrete memoryless sources. We proposes a new encryption framework for securely transmitting codewords over a noiseless channel. The proposed source encryption…
Low-altitude communications can promote the integration of aerial and terrestrial wireless resources, expand network coverage, and enhance transmission quality, thereby empowering the development of sixth-generation (6G) mobile…
The problem of designing codes for deletion-correction and synchronization has received renewed interest due to applications in DNA-based data storage systems that use nanopore sequencers as readout platforms. In almost all instances,…
Stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM) provide a cost-effective and scalable solution for large-scale antenna communications.However, efficient channel state information acquisition and phase shift optimization remain critical challenges.…
Batch codes are of potential use for load balancing and private information retrieval in distributed data storage systems. Recently, a special case of batch codes, termed functional batch codes, was proposed in the literature. In functional…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are widely used in distributed storage, but naively repairing a single failure in an $(n,k)$ MDS code requires downloading the full contents of $k$ surviving nodes. Minimum storage regenerating (MSR)…
In this paper, we study efficient codebook design for limited feedback in extremely large-scale multiple-input-multiple-output (XL-MIMO) frequency division duplexing (FDD) systems. It is worth noting that existing codebook designs for…
MDS codes play a central role in practice due to their broad applications. To date, most known MDS codes are generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, leaving codes that are not equivalent to GRS codes comparatively less understood. Studying…
This paper investigates an information-theoretic model of secure semantic-aware communication. For this purpose, we consider the lossy joint source-channel coding (JSCC) of a memoryless semantic source transmitted over a memoryless wiretap…
We study the equivalence of families of polycyclic codes associated with polynomials of the form $x^n - a_{n-1}x^{n-1} - \ldots - a_1x - a_0$ over a finite field. We begin with the specific case of polycyclic codes associated with a…
In this paper, we study a cell-free multiple-input multiple-output network equipped with integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) access points (APs). The distributed APs are used to jointly serve the communication needs of user…
Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) have recently emerged as a hot research topic, being widely advocated as a candidate technology for next generation wireless communications. These surfaces passively alter the behavior of…
In this paper, we investigate an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted multi-user system, where the base station (BS) employs rotatable antennas (RAs) and the IRS can adjust the panel orientation.To alleviate the severe…
In this paper, two classes of twisted generalized Reed-Solomon (TGRS) codes with multi-twists are studied. Firstly, some sufficient and necessary conditions for these codes to be self-orthogonal and self-dual are established. Then several…
In-network learning (INL) trains distributed neural modules by exchanging latent activations and backpropagated errors over a communication graph. This letter proposes Dijkstra-pruned INL (D-INL), which removes non-tree links by retaining a…
Conventional communication systems are mainly designed to reduce error rates and increase transmission rates, and therefore usually provide uniform protection to all transmitted messages. However, in intent-oriented applications, different…
