This paper is concerned with the problem of error-free communication over the i.i.d. duplication channel which acts on a transmitted sequence $ x_1 \cdots x_n $ by inserting a random number of copies of each symbol $ x_i $ next to the…
In multi-user information theory it is often assumed that every node in the network possesses all codebooks used in the network. This assumption may be impractical in distributed ad-hoc, cognitive or heterogeneous networks. This work…
This paper studies several properties of channel codes that approach the fundamental limits of a given (discrete or Gaussian) memoryless channel with a non-vanishing probability of error. The output distribution induced by an…
Neural codes, represented as collections of binary strings called codewords, are used to encode neural activity. A code is called convex if its codewords are represented as an arrangement of convex open sets in Euclidean space. Previous…
This paper studies the zero error capacity of the Nearest Neighbor Error (NNE) channels with a multilevel alphabet. In the NNE channels, a transmitted symbol is a $d$-tuple of elements in $\{0,1,2,\dots, n-1 \}$. It is assumed that only one…
This paper is motivated by the problem of error control in network coding when errors are introduced in a random fashion (rather than chosen by an adversary). An additive-multiplicative matrix channel is considered as a model for random…
We consider communication over channels whose statistics are not known in full, but can be parameterized as a finite family of memoryless channels. A typical approach to address channel uncertainty is to design codes for the worst channel…
Consider any discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with arbitrarily but finite input and output alphabets X, Y respectively. Then, for any capacity achieving input distribution all symbols occur less frequently than 1-1/e$. That is, \[…
The arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is a conservative way of modeling an unknown interference, and the corresponding capacity results are pessimistic. We reconsider the Gaussian AVC by relaxing the classical model and thereby weakening…
Tradeoffs between the information rate and fidelity of quantum error-correcting codes are discussed. Quantum channels to be considered are those subject to independent errors and modeled as tensor products of copies of a general completely…
When transmitting information over a noisy channel, two approaches, dating back to Shannon's work, are common: assuming the channel errors are independent of the transmitted content and devising an error-correcting code, or assuming the…
Convexity properties of error rates of a class of decoders, including the ML/min-distance one as a special case, are studied for arbitrary constellations, bit mapping and coding. Earlier results obtained for the AWGN channel are extended to…
Reliably transmitting messages despite information loss due to a noisy channel is a core problem of information theory. One of the most important aspects of real world communication, e.g. via wifi, is that it may happen at varying levels of…
Characterization of the rate-equivocation region of a general wiretap channel involves two auxiliary random variables: U, for rate splitting and V, for channel prefixing. Evaluation of regions involving auxiliary random variables is…
The cognitive interference channel with confidential messages is studied. Similarly to the classical two-user interference channel, the cognitive interference channel consists of two transmitters whose signals interfere at the two…
Capacity formulas and random-coding exponents are derived for a generalized family of Gel'fand-Pinsker coding problems. These exponents yield asymptotic upper bounds on the achievable log probability of error. In our model, information is…
In this paper, we present a novel communication channel, called the absorption channel, inspired by information transmission in neurons. Our motivation comes from in-vivo nano-machines, emerging medical applications, and brain-machine…
We consider discrete memoryless channels with input alphabet size $n$ and output alphabet size $m$, where $m=$ceil$(\gamma n)$ for some constant $\gamma>0$. The channel transition matrix consists of entries that, before being normalised,…
Shannon's analysis of the fundamental capacity limits for memoryless communication channels has been refined over time. In this paper, the maximum volume $M_\avg^*(n,\epsilon)$ of length-$n$ codes subject to an average decoding error…
We address the arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) with colored Gaussian noise. The work consists of three parts. First, we study the general discrete AVC with fixed parameters, where the channel depends on two state sequences, one arbitrary…
