چکیده

This thesis has two flavors: 1. A universal theory of universal multi-user communication with fidelity criteria: We prove the optimality of digital communication for universal multi-user communication with fidelity criteria, both in the point-to-point setting and in the multi-user setting. In other words, we prove a universal source-channel separation theorem for rate-distortion, both in the point-to-point setting and the multi-user setting. In the multi-user setting, the setting is unicast, that is, the sources which various users want to communicate to each other are independent of each other. The universality is over the medium of communication: we assume that the medium might belong to a family. Both in the point-to-point setting, we assume that codes can be random: the encoder might come from a family of deterministic codes and the decoder has access to the particular realization of the deterministic code, and finally, an average is taken over all these deterministic codes. In Shannon’s theory, random-coding is a proof technique. However, in our setting, random codes are essential: universal source-channel separation does not hold if codes are not allowed to be random. This happens because we are asking the universal question. We also show the partial applicability of our results to the traditional wireless telephony problem. 2. An operational theory of communication with a fidelity criterion: We prove the source-channel separation theorem operationally: we rely only on definitions of channel capacity as the maximum rate of reliable communication and the rate-

A universal, operational theory of unicast multi-user communication with fidelity criteria

This is a three part paper. Optimality of source-channel separation for communication with a fidelity criterion when the channel is compound as defined in [1] and general as defined in [2] is proved in Part I. It is assumed that random codes are permitted. The word “universal” in the title of this paper refers to the fact that the channel model is compound. The proof uses a layered black-box or...

Layered black-box, behavioral interconnection perspective and applications to the problem of communication with fidelity criteria, Part I: i.i.d. sources

In this paper, the problem of communication over an essentially unknown channel, which is known to be able to communicate a source to a destination to within a certain distortion level, is considered from a behavioral, interconnection view-point. Rates of reliable communication are derived and source-channel separation for communication with fidelity criteria is proved. The results are then gen...

A Novel Multi-user Detection Approach on Fluctuations of Autocorrelation Estimators in Non-Cooperative Communication

Recently, blind multi-user detection has become an important topic in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signals are well-known due to their low probability of detection, and secure communication. In this article, the problem of blind multi-user detection is studied in variable processing gain direct-sequence code division multiple access (VPG D...
