Distributed Concatenated Alamouti Codes for Two-Way Relaying Networks

TL;DR: The asymptotic formula of exact symbol error probability (SEP) for a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation with the maximum likelihood (ML) detector is derived and shows that the full diversity gain function is achieved and proportional to ln SNR /SNR2.

Wireless network-level partial relay cooperation

TL;DR: The benefits of using one user of a two-user random access system to relay traffic of the other user to improve the efficiency of the system.

Low-Complexity Cooperative Coding for Sensor Networks using Rateless and LDGM Codes

TL;DR: A scheme for cooperative error-control coding, using rateless and low-density generator-matrix codes, for sensor networks, and the generalization of the framework to a multi-node system is discussed.

Maximum-Throughput Irregular Distributed Space-Time Code for Near-Capacity Cooperative Communications

TL;DR: Numerical results show the proficiency of the joint source-and-relay mode design procedure, demonstrating that the proposed Ir-DST coding scheme is capable of near-capacity cooperative communications and of maximizing the effective throughput.

Multi-hop communication is order-optimal for homogeneous sensor networks

TL;DR: The main goal of this paper is to show that multi-hop single-user communication achieves the per node transport capacity of /spl Theta/((ln N)/N) in homogeneous sensor networks, making it order-optimal.

Noiseless coding of correlated information sources

TL;DR: The minimum number of bits per character R_X and R_Y needed to encode these sequences so that they can be faithfully reproduced under a variety of assumptions regarding the encoders and decoders is determined.

Three-terminal communication channels

TL;DR: A coding theorem and weak converse are proved and a necessary and sufficient condition for a positive capacity is derived and upper and lower bounds on the capacity are obtained, which coincide for channels with symmetric structure.

Source coding with side information and a converse for degraded broadcast channels

TL;DR: In Section H of the paper, a characterization of the capacity region for degraded broadcast channels (DBC's) is given, which was conjectured by Bergmans and is somewhat sharper than the one obtained by Gallager.

A proof of the data compression theorem of Slepian and Wolf for ergodic sources (Corresp.)

TL;DR: It is established that the Slepian-Wolf theorem is true without change for arbitrary ergodic processes \{(X_i,Y_i)\}_{i=1}^{\infty} and countably infinite alphabets.

On source coding with side information at the decoder

TL;DR: The characterization of the family of rate triples (R_0,R_1, R_2) for which this system can deliver essentially perfect reproductions of X and Y and the principal result is a characterization of this family via an information-theoretic minimization.
