An efficient protocol for realizing cooperative diversity in wireless networks

TL;DR: Two variants of an energy-efficient cooperative diversity protocol are developed that combats fading induced by multipath propagation in wireless networks and can lead to reduced battery drain, longer network lifetime, and improved network performance in terms of, e.g., capacity.

Hybrid Full-Duplex/Half-Duplex Relaying with Transmit Power Adaptation

TL;DR: This work proposes the combination of opportunistic mode selection and transmit power adaptation for maximizing instantaneous and average spectral efficiency after noting that the trade-off favors alternately the modes during operation.

Physical Network Coding in Two-Way Wireless Relay Channels

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the conditions for maximization of the two-way rate for each individual scheme: (1) the Decode-and-Forward (DF) 3-step schemes, (2) three different schemes with two steps: Amplify-and--Forward (AF), JDF and Denoise--and-forward (DNF), and the most interesting result of the paper is that, for some SNR configurations of the source-relay links, JDF yields identical maximal twoway rate as the upper bound on DNF.

Convex Optimization-Based Beamforming

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that convex optimization provides an indispensable set of tools for beamforming, enabling rigorous formulation and effective solution of both long-standing and emerging design problems.

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.
