Joint optimization of relay strategies and resource allocations in cooperative cellular networks

TL;DR: It is shown that for a cellular system employing orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA), the optimization of physical-layer transmission strategies can be done efficiently by introducing a set of pricing variables as weighting factors.

Towards an information theory of large networks: an achievable rate region

TL;DR: An information-theoretic constructive scheme for obtaining an achievable rate region in communication networks of arbitrary size and topology and communicating over a general vector discrete memoryless channel (DMC) is proposed.

Cooperative diversity in wireless networks: algorithms and architectures

TL;DR: This dissertation develops energy-efficient algorithms that employ certain kinds of cooperation among terminals, and illustrates how one might incorporate these algorithms into various network architectures, including current cellular and ad-hoc networks.

In-Band Full-Duplex Relaying: A Survey, Research Issues and Challenges

TL;DR: Several important aspects of in-band FDR are identified: basics, enabling technologies, information-theoretical performance analysis, key design issues and challenges, and some broader perspectives for in- band FDR.

On Capacity Under Receive and Spatial Spectrum-Sharing Constraints

TL;DR: This paper investigates the behavior of capacity when constraints are placed on the channel output signal (as well as generalizations thereof), finding that in certain network scenarios, including multiple-access and relay situations, both the structure of the problem and the conclusions change.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
