This thesis addresses the problem of information transmission over noisy channels. In 1993, Berrou, Glavieux and Thitimajshima discovered Turbo-codes. These codes made it possible to achieve a very good performance at low decoding complexity. In hindsight, ...
We examine the throughput benefits that network coding offers with respect to the average through- put achievable by routing, where the average throughput refers to the average of the rates that the indi- vidual receivers experience. We relate these benefi ...
Lattice networks are widely used in regular settings like grid computing, distributed control, satellite constellations, and sensor networks. Thus, limits on capacity, optimal routing policies, and performance with finite buffers are key issues and are add ...
Recently, sequential Monte Carlo methods have been used in the telecommunications field, finding application in receiver design. Several properties of these receivers make their designs very attractive. These receivers do not require channel state informat ...
In this paper, we will investigate the performance of Raptor codes on arbitrary binary input memoryless symmetric channels (BIMSCs). In doing so, we generalize some of the results that were proved before for the erasure channel. We will generalize the stab ...
Channel allocation was extensively studied in the framework of cellular networks. But the emergence of new system concepts, such as cognitive radio systems, has brought this topic into the focus of research again. In this paper, we study in detail the prob ...
We study the problem of multicasting over a network of multiple-access channels (MACs). The separation-based solution to this problem is to reduce each MAC to a set of noiseless bit pipes via a channel code and,then employ network coding. Sometimes, howeve ...

We consider LDPC codes, transmission over the binary symmetric channel (BSC), and decoding using Gallager's algorithm A. For those ensembles whose threshold is determined by the behavior of the algorithm at the beginning of the decoding process we derive a ...
We present a novel scheme for the transmission of H.264/AVC video streams over lossy packet networks. The proposed scheme exploits the error-resilient features of H.264/AVC codec and employs Reed-Solomon codes to protect effectively the streams. A novel te ...
We consider the problem of compressing a binary symmetric i.i.d. source stream for two decoders, one of which has access to side-information. Kaspi found the rate-distortion tradeoff for this problem for general discrete memoryless sources for the two case ...
