Lattice codes are applied to the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) combined with a modified compute-and-forward transmitting scheme. It is shown that non-corner points on the boundary of the capacity region can be achieved by decoding two int ...
Let L be a lattice in . This paper provides two methods to obtain upper bounds on the number of points of L contained in a small sphere centered anywhere in . The first method is based on the observation that if the sphere is sufficiently small then the la ...
Function computation of arbitrarily correlated discrete sources over Gaussian networks with multiple access components but no broadcast is studied. Two classes of functions are considered: the arithmetic sum function and the frequency histogram function. T ...
Auxetic materials expand when stretched, and shrink when compressed. This is the result of a negative Poisson's ratio ν. Isotropic configurations with ν≈−1 have been designed and are expected to provide increased shear stiffness G. This assumes that Young' ...
The chiral lattice is a unique structural network not symmetric to its mirror image, and with a negative Poisson’s ratio. Previous investigations have considered this structural network for the design of superior structural components with sandwich constru ...
