We consider communication over a time invariant discrete memoryless channel with noiseless and instantaneous feedback. We assume that the communicating parties are not aware of the underlying channel, however they know that it belongs to some specific fami ...
For a class of sensor networks, the task is to monitor an underlying physical phenomenon over space and time through an imperfect observation process. The sensors can communicate back to a central data collector over a noisy channel. The key pa- rameters i ...

In this paper we present a rapid review of known results in the context of different scenario of the erasure channel. We will also give a converse capacity bound for relay channel showing that the cut-set bound is not attainable in general by any fixed cod ...
This work presents categorization experiments performed over noisy texts. By noisy it is meant any text obtained through an extraction process (affected by errors) from media other than digital texts (e.g. transcriptions of speech recordings extracted with ...
Suppose Q is a family of discrete memoryless channels. An unknown member of Q is available with perfect (causal) feedback for communication. A recent result (A. Tchamkerten and I.E. Telatar) shows the existence, for certain families of channels (e.g. binar ...
On-chip interconnection networks for future systems on chip (SoC) will have to deal with the increasing sensitivity of global wires to noise sources such as crosstalk or power supply noise. Hence, transient delay and logic faults are likely to reduce the r ...

We consider a multi-user impulse radio UWB physical layer in a multipath environment. We propose a fast and efficient method to compute the conditional bit error rate (BER), given some realizations of the channels from source/interferer to destination, and ...
We give a short survey of several techniques to construct codes on GF(q) that approach the capacity of the q-ary symmetric channel. The q-ary symmetric channel represents the next level of difficulty after the binary erasure channel (BEC). Since the channe ...
This paper extends the construction and analysis of Raptor codes originally designed in A. Shokrollahi (2004) for the erasure channel to general symmetric channels. We explicitly calculate the asymptotic fraction of output nodes of degree one and two for c ...
Feedback can considerably simplify the task of approaching and achieving the performance limits predicted by information theory. This paper determines some of the potential offered by feedback in a typical sensor network situation that could be termed moni ...
