Communication Via Decentralized Processing

TL;DR: The problem of a nomadic terminal sending information to a remote destination via agents with lossless connections to the destination is investigated and the Gaussian codebook capacity is characterized for the deterministic channel.

Achievable Rate Regions and Performance Comparison of Half Duplex Bi-Directional Relaying Protocols

TL;DR: A comprehensive treatment of eight possible half-duplex bi-directional relaying protocols in Gaussian noise is provided, obtaining their relative performance under different SNR and relay geometries.

Secrecy in Cooperative Relay Broadcast Channels

TL;DR: It is shown that user cooperation can increase the achievable secrecy region and an achievable scheme is proposed that combines Marton's coding scheme for broadcast channels and Cover and El Gamal's compress-and-forward scheme for relay channels.

Cooperative coding for wireless networks

TL;DR: This work designs and analyzes channel codes that are capable of achieving the full diversity provided by user cooperation, with the constraint that they also provide the best possible performance in the interuser link.

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.)

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.
