In hierarchical secure aggregation (HSA), a server communicates with clustered users through an intermediate layer of relays to compute the sum of users' inputs under two security requirements -- server security and relay security. Server…
The connection between secret sharing and matroid theory is well established. In this paper, we generalize the concepts of secret sharing and matroid ports to $q$-polymatroids. Specifically, we introduce the notion of an access structure on…
Distributed computing enables scalable machine learning by distributing tasks across multiple nodes, but ensuring privacy in such systems remains a challenge. This paper introduces a novel private coded distributed computing model that…
We study the Service Rate Region of Reed-Muller codes in the context of distributed storage systems. The service rate region is a convex polytope comprising all achievable data access request rates under a given coding scheme. It represents…
In this article, we present a fast algorithm performing an instance of the Guruswami-Sudan list decoder for algebraic geometry codes. We show that any such code can be decoded in $\tilde{O}(s^2\ell^{\omega-1}\mu^{\omega-1}(n+g) +…
We study the joint minimization of communication and computation costs in distributed computing, where a master node coordinates $N$ workers to evaluate a function over a library of $n$ files. Assuming that the function is decomposed into…
A movable antennas (MAs)-enabled secure multiuser transmission framework is developed to enhance physical-layer security. Novel expressions are derived to characterize the achievable sum secrecy rate based on the secure channel coding…
Modern wireless systems are envisioned to employ antenna architectures that not only transmit and receive electromagnetic (EM) waves, but also intentionally reflect and possibly transform incident EM waves. In this paper, we propose a…
We propose digital signal processing techniques for nonlinearity mitigation in high power optical amplifiers used in satellite communications. The acceptable link loss increases by 6dB with negligible complexity.
We study error-correcting codes in the space $\mathcal{S}_{n,q}$ of length-$n$ multisets over a $q$-ary alphabet, motivated by permutation channels in which ordering is completely lost and errors act solely by deletions of symbols, i.e., by…
In this paper, we explore new connections between the cycles in the graph of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and the eigenvalues of the corresponding adjacency matrix. The resulting observations are used to derive fast, simple,…
With the increasing threat posed by modulation classification to wireless security, this paper proposes a secure communication framework based on modulation order confusion (MOC), which intentionally disguises the original modulation as a…
This paper investigates the performance of multi-user covert communications over a fixed bandwidth in a multi-cell scenario with both eavesdroppers and malicious jammers. We propose an intelligent spectrum control (ISC) scheme that combines…
We initiate the study of what we term ``fast good codes'' with ``fast good duals.'' Specifically, we consider the task of constructing a rate 1/2 binary linear code such that both it and its dual are asymptotically good (in fact, have…
Semantic communication (SemCom) has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for next-generation wireless systems. Empowered by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, SemCom has achieved significant improvements in transmission…
We revisit the problem of releasing the sample mean of bounded samples in a dataset, privately, under user-level $\varepsilon$-differential privacy (DP). We aim to derive the optimal method of preprocessing data samples, within a canonical…
This paper investigates the fundamental communication--sensing tradeoffs of uplink dual-functional integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) multiple access under finite blocklength (FBL) constraints. Unlike conventional asymptotic…
This paper bridges this critical gap by providing a systematic examination of the beamforming codebook technology, i.e., precoding matrix indicator (PMI), in the 5G NR from theoretical, standardization, and implementation perspectives. We…
Jensen's inequality, attributed to Johan Jensen -- a Danish mathematician and engineer noted for his contributions to the theory of functions -- is a ubiquitous result in convex analysis, providing a fundamental lower bound for the…
The high directionality of wave propagation at millimeter-wave (mmWave) carrier frequencies results in only a small number of significant transmission paths between user equipments and the basestation (BS). This sparse nature of wave…
