Shannon Bounds on Lossy Gray-Wyner Networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Erixhen Sula

The Gray-Wyner network subject to a fidelity criterion is studied. Upper and lower bounds for the trade-offs between the private sum-rate and the common rate are obtained for arbitrary sources subject to mean-squared error distortion. The bounds meet exact ...

Feedback and Common Information: Bounds and Capacity for Gaussian Networks

Erixhen Sula

Network information theory studies the communication of information in a network and considers its fundamental limits. Motivating from the extensive presence of the networks in the daily life, the thesis studies the fundamental limits of particular network ...

Recursive Projection-Aggregation Decoding of Reed-Muller Codes

Emmanuel Abbé, Min Ye

We propose a new class of efficient decoding algorithms for Reed-Muller (RM) codes over binary-input memoryless channels. The algorithms are based on projecting the code on its cosets, recursively decoding the projected codes (which are lower-order RM code ...

Feedback-Aware Precoding for Millimeter Wave Massive MIMO Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Reza Ghanaatian Jahromi

Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication is a promising solution for coping with the ever-increasing mobile data traffic because of its large bandwidth. To enable a sufficient link margin, a large antenna array employing directional beamforming, which is ena ...

Universal Sparse Superposition Codes With Spatial Coupling and GAMP Decoding

Nicolas Macris, Mohamad Baker Dia, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

Sparse superposition codes, or sparse regression codes, constitute a new class of codes, which was first introduced for communication over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It has been shown that such codes are capacity-achieving over the A ...

Polarization and Channel Ordering: Characterizations and Topological Structures

Rajai Nasser

Information theory is the field in which we study the fundamental limitations of communication. Shannon proved in 1948 that there exists a maximum rate, called capacity, at which we can reliably communicate information through a given channel. However, Sha ...

On the MIMO Capacity for Distributed System under Composite Rayleigh/Rician Fading and Shadowing

José Luis Padilla de la Torre

Wireless channels are commonly affected by short-term fading and long-term fading (shadowing). The shadowing effects must be taken into account also when mobility is present in the wireless scenario. Using a composite fading model, the total channel capaci ...

Digital Synchronization for Symbol-spaced IEEE802.11ad Gigabit mmWave Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Nicholas Alexander Preyss

A complete digital synchronization architecture for an IEEE 802.11ad compliant 60 GHz receiver is presented. The characteristics of mmWave systems require a holistic view on the problem of parameter estimation, such that not each parameter is dealt with on ...

Polarization Improves E-0

Emre Telatar, Mine Alsan

We prove that channel combining and splitting via Arikan's polarization transformation improves Gallager's reliability function E-0 for binary input channels. In this sense, polarization creates E-0. This observation gives yet another justification as to w ...

Secure Communication in Erasure Networks with State-feedback

László Czap

The security and efficiency of communication are two of the main concerns for networks of today and the future. Our understanding of how to efficiently send information over various channels and networks has significantly increased in the past decade (see ...

Integer-forcing Linear Receivers

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Linear receivers are often used to reduce the implementation complexity of multiple-antenna systems. In a traditional linear receiver architecture, the receive antennas are used to separate out the codewords sent by each transmit antenna, which can then be ...

Cooperative Relaying at Finite SNR-Role of Quantize-Map-and-Forward

Christina Fragouli, Ayan Sengupta, I-Hsiang Wang

This paper contributes to the design and analysis of Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) relaying by optimizing its performance for small relay networks. QMF was proved to achieve the capacity of arbitrary networks within a bounded gap, as well as the optimal d ...

Estimation of Sparse MIMO Channels with Common Support

Martin Vetterli, Yann Barbotin, Ali Hormati

We consider the problem of estimating sparse communication channels in the MIMO context. In small to medium bandwidth communications, as in the current standards for OFDM and CDMA communication systems (with bandwidth up to 20 MHz), such channels are indiv ...
