Post-Quantum Security for Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Heterogeneous Networks
communication through a heterogeneous network consisting of multiple connections. Three
performance metrics are considered: security, throughput, and in-order delivery delay. In this …
Degree tables for secure distributed matrix multiplication
wishes to compute the product of two matrices with the assistance of honest but curious
servers. We construct polynomial codes for SDMM by studying a recently introduced
combinatorial tool called the degree table.
Graph-Theoretical Dynamic User Pairing for Downlink NOMA Systems
the user rate requirements in cellular networks employing non-orthogonal multiple access
(NOMA). The proposed approach relies on first constructing a conflict graph corresponding …
Managing Noise and Interference Separately-Multiple Access Channel Decoding using Soft GRAND
from different users, and additive noise channel noise. Maximum A-Posteriori (MAP) joint
decoding or successive interference cancellation are known to be capacity-achieving for the …
NeuraCrypt: Hiding Private Health Data via Random Neural Networks for Public Training
for machine learning in healthcare. In particular, privacy concerns have led to a dearth of
public datasets, complicated the construction of multi-hospital cohorts and limited the …
Bringing Network Coding into SDN: Architectural Study for Meshed Heterogeneous Communications
increasingly heterogeneous network models. In this article, we propose a novel controller-
based architecture to deploy adaptive causal network coding in heterogeneous and highly …
CRC Codes as Error Correction Codes
established notion that they are suitable primarily for error detection can be set aside
through use of the recently proposed Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding (GRAND) …
15 Network Functional Compression
computation across a network from an information-theoretic point of view. We refer to this
problem as network functional compression. In network functional compression, computation …
Stream Distributed Coded Computing
computations to be delegated from a central server to several worker nodes. One major
challenge in the distributed computations is to tackle delays and failures caused by the …
Differential Privacy for Binary Functions via Randomized Graph Colorings
for binary functions via a graph representation of datasets. Datasets are nodes in the graph
and any two neighboring datasets are connected by an edge. The true binary function we …
Spatial Concentration of Caching in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks
networks that makes content placement decisions based on pairwise interactions between
cache nodes. We call our proposed scheme γ-exclusion cache placement (GEC), where a …
Robust Improvement of the Age of Information by Adaptive Packet Coding
select the number of packets to be admitted and encoded for each transmission, and
characterize the information timeliness. For a network of erasure channels and discrete time …
