Suppose Q is a family of discrete memoryless channels. An unknown member of Q will be available, with perfect, causal output feedback for communication. Is there a coding scheme (possibly with variable transmission time) that can achieve the Burnashev erro ...
This thesis is concerned with problems in decentralized communication in large networks. Namely, we address the problems of joint rate allocation and transmission of data sources measured at nodes, and of controlling the multiple access of sources to a sha ...
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 ...

Algorithm choices and corresponding VLSI architectures for spatial multiplexing receivers in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems are described in this paper. Implementations of linear and successive interference cancellation receive ...

In this paper we consider the online ftp problem. The goal is to service a sequence of file transfer requests given bandwidth constraints of the underlying communication network. The main result of the paper is a technique that leads to algorithms that opt ...
We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total transmission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink node. Two c ...
For a class of sensor networks, the task is to monitor an underlying
physical phenomenon over space and time through a
noisy observation process. The sensors can communicate back
to a data collector over a noisy channel. The key parameters
in such a se ...

We consider a simple network, where a source and destination node are connected with a line of erasure channels. It is well known that in order to achieve the min-cut capacity, the intermediate nodes are required to process the information. We propose codi ...
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 ...

We develop a channel model for errors originated from over-aggressive operation of a communication link. Such a situation arises in the context of on-chip self-calibrating communication, where a link controller has to determine adaptively the operating vol ...
