The focus of this thesis is on communication over cooperative information networks. In the first half of the thesis, we consider lossy source coding problems where a relay assists in the communication of a source stream between two terminals. The following ...
We consider the binary consensus problem where each node in the network initially observes one of two states and the goal for each node is to eventually decide which one of the two states was initially held by the majority of the nodes. Each node contacts ...

We consider source coding over Aref networks. In particular we consider the following two problems: (i) multicasting correlated sources to a set of receivers, (ii) broadcasting sources to their respective receivers. For the first problem we show necessary ...
We consider decoder cooperation in the Heegard-Berger/Kaspi problem. The encoder sends a common description of a source to two decoders, one of which has side information. Cooperation between the two decoders is of the form of a limited capacity link from ...

This paper provides an inner bound to the rate-distortion region of a source coding setup in which two encoders are allowed some collaboration to describe a pair of discrete memoryless sources. We further require some robustness in case one of the encoders ...

We examine routing over two classes of orthogonal information networks. The first is a relay network with orthogonal inputs. The nodes in this network do not broadcast, but communicate to the different nodes via independent inputs. There is multiple access ...

We consider the following communication problem over a directed graph. A source node wants to transmit a common message to a set of receiver nodes along with a private message to each of the receivers. We show a class of networks for which the achievable r ...

Consider a network of nodes where each node has a message to communicate to all other nodes. For this communication problem, we analyze a gossip based protocol where coded messages are exchanged. This problem was studied by Shah et al where a bound to the ...
