Approximation for Problems in Multi-User Information Theory

Soheil Mohajerzefreh

The main goal in network information theory is to identify fundamental limits of communication over networks, and design solutions which perform close to such limits. After several decades of effort, many important problems still do not have a characteriza ...

On the Broadcast Capacity of Wireless Networks With Cooperative Relays

Michael Christoph Gastpar

A fundamental problem in wireless networks is determining the broadcast capacity, i.e., the maximum data transfer rate from a given node to every other node in a relay network. This paper studies the scaling of the broadcast capacity for a network with a s ...

Fire Detection and Localization Using Wireless Sensor Networks

Martin Hasler, Alireza Khadivi

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network of usually a large number of small sensor nodes that are wirelessly connected to each other in order to remotely monitor an environment or phenomena. Sensor nodes use the data aggregation method as an effective ...

Order-Optimal Consensus Through Randomized Path Averaging

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Florence Bénézit

Gossip algorithms have recently received significant attention, mainly because they constitute simple and robust mes- sage-passing schemes for distributed information processing over networks. However, for many topologies that are realistic for wire- less ...

Information-theoretic secrecy for wireless networks

Etienne Perron

The aim of information-theoretic secrecy is to ensure that an eavesdropper who listens to the wireless transmission of a message can only collect an arbitrarily small number of information bits about this message. In contrast to cryptography, there are no ...

SenseCode: Network Coding for Reliable Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Lorenzo Keller, Emre Atsan

Designing a communication protocol for sensor networks often involves obtaining the "right" trade-off between energy efficiency and reliability. In this paper, we show that network coding provides a means to elegantly balance these two goals. We present th ...

Network Resource Allocation for Competing Multiple Description Transmissions

Suhas Diggavi

Providing real-time multimedia services over a best-effort network is challenging due to the stringent delay requirements in the presence of complex network dynamics. Multiple description (MD) coding is one approach to transmit the media over diverse (mult ...

A distributed minimum-distortion routing algorithm with in-network data processing

Ramin Khalili

In many wired and wireless networks, nodes process input traffic to satisfy a network constraint (e.g., a capacity constraint) and to increase the utility of data in the output flows given these constraints. In this paper we focus on the special case in wh ...

Identity Aware Sensor Networks

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Lorenzo Keller, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani

In a significant class of sensor-network applications, the identities of the reporting sensors are an essential part of the reported information. For instance, in environmental monitoring, the goal is to reconstruct physical quantities over space and time; ...
