We consider the network communication scenario, over directed acyclic networks with unit capacity edges in which a number of sources $s_i$ each holding independent unit-entropy information $X_i$ wish to communicate the sum $\sum{X_i}$ to a…
We consider the problem of communicating the sum of $m$ sources to $n$ terminals in a directed acyclic network. Recently, it was shown that for a network of unit capacity links with either $m=2$ or $n=2$, the sum of the sources can be…
We consider directed acyclic networks with multiple sources and multiple terminals where each source generates one i.i.d. random process over an abelian group and all the terminals want to recover the sum of these random processes. The…
We consider a directed acyclic network with multiple sources and multiple terminals where each terminal is interested in decoding the sum of independent sources generated at the source nodes. We describe a procedure whereby a simple…
We consider a communication network with a single source that has a set of messages and two terminals where each terminal is interested in an arbitrary subset of messages at the source. A tight capacity region for this problem is…
A directed acyclic network is considered where all the terminals need to recover the sum of the symbols generated at all the sources. We call such a network a sum-network. It is shown that there exists a solvably (and linear solvably)…
We consider directed acyclic {\em sum-networks} with $m$ sources and $n$ terminals where the sources generate symbols from an arbitrary alphabet field $F$, and the terminals need to recover the sum of the sources over $F$. We show that for…
We consider a directed acyclic network with three sources and three terminals such that each source independently generates one symbol from a given field $F$ and each terminal wants to receive the sum (over $F$) of the source symbols. Each…
A sum-network is a directed acyclic network in which all terminal nodes demand the `sum' of the independent information observed at the source nodes. Many characteristics of the well-studied multiple-unicast network communication problem…
We consider the multiple unicast problem with three source-terminal pairs over directed acyclic networks with unit-capacity edges. The three $s_i-t_i$ pairs wish to communicate at unit-rate via network coding. The connectivity between the…
This paper investigates a source coding problem in which two terminals communicating through a relay wish to estimate one another's source within some distortion constraint. The relay has access to side information that is correlated with…
A sum-network is a directed acyclic network where each source independently generates one symbol from a given field $\mathbb F$ and each terminal wants to receive the sum $($over $\mathbb F)$ of the source symbols. For sum-networks with two…
Sum-networks are networks where all the terminals demand the sum of the symbols generated at the sources. It has been shown that for any finite set/co-finite set of prime numbers, there exists a sum-network which has a vector linear…
For zero-error function computation over directed acyclic networks, existing upper and lower bounds on the computation capacity are known to be loose. In this work we consider the problem of computing the arithmetic sum over a specific…
A sum-network is an instance of a network coding problem over a directed acyclic network in which each terminal node wants to compute the sum over a finite field of the information observed at all the source nodes. Many characteristics of…
We investigate distributed source coding of two correlated sources X and Y where messages are passed to a decoder in a cascade fashion. The encoder of X sends a message at rate R_1 to the encoder of Y. The encoder of Y then sends a message…
We consider the multiple unicast problem under network coding over directed acyclic networks with unit capacity edges. There is a set of n source-terminal (s_i - t_i) pairs that wish to communicate at unit rate over this network. The…
A coding problem for correlated information sources is investigated. Messages emitted from two correlated sources are jointly encoded, and delivered to two decoders. Each decoder has access to one of the two messages to enable it to…
In this paper we consider the communication problem that involves transmission of correlated sources over broadcast channels. We consider a graph-based framework for this information transmission problem. The system involves a source coding…
A receiver wants to compute a function f of two correlated sources X and Y and side information Z. What is the minimum number of bits that needs to be communicated by each transmitter? In this paper, we derive inner and outer bounds to the…
