On Calculating the Minimum Rate for the Cooperative Data Exchange Problem Over Fully Connected Networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Su Li

We study the cooperative data exchange problem for fully connected networks. In this problem, nodes make broadcast transmissions to recover a file consisting of K independent packets. Each node initially only possesses a subset of the packets. We propose ( ...
