Noise is an inalienable property of all communication systems appearing in nature. Such
noise acts against the very purpose of communication, that is delivery of a data to the …

This monograph presents a unified treatment of single-and multi-user problems in
Shannon's information theory where we depart from the requirement that the error …

In this paper, we provide new compact integral expressions and associated simple
asymptotic approximations for converse and achievability bounds in the finite blocklength …

Consider the transmission of a polar code of block length and rate over a binary memoryless
symmetric channel and let be the block error probability under successive cancellation …

We analyze the dispersions of distributed lossless source coding (the Slepian-Wolf
problem), the multiple-access channel, and the asymmetric broadcast channel. For the two …

Common information is ubiquitous in information theory and related areas such as
theoretical computer science and discrete probability. However, because there are multiple …

This paper considers the problem of channel coding with a given (possibly suboptimal)
maximum-metric decoding rule. A cost-constrained random-coding ensemble with multiple …

Reed-Muller (RM) codes are among the oldest, simplest and perhaps most ubiquitous family
of codes. They are used in many areas of coding theory in both electrical engineering and …

Shannon propounded a theoretical framework (collectively called information theory) that
uses mathematical tools to understand, model and analyze modern mobile wireless …

We study channel simulation under common randomness assistance in the finite-
blocklength regime and identify the smooth channel max-information as a linear program …
