Polar codes in network quantum information theory
Polar coding is a method for communication over noisy classical channels
which is provably capacity-achieving and has an efficient encoding and
decoding. Recently, this method has been generalized to the realm of quantum
information processing, for tasks such as classical communication, private
classical communication, and quantum communication. In the present work, we
apply the polar coding method to network quantum information theory, by making
use of recent advances for related classical tasks. In particular, we consider
problems such as the compound multiple access channel and the quantum
interference channel. The main result of our work is that it is possible to
achieve the best known inner bounds on the achievable rate regions for these
tasks, without requiring a so-called quantum simultaneous decoder. Thus, our
work paves the way for developing network quantum information theory further
without requiring a quantum simultaneous decoder.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures, v2: 10 pages, double column, version accepted

Polar Coding for the Cognitive Interference Channel with Confidential Messages
In this paper, we propose a low-complexity, secrecy capacity achieving polar
coding scheme for the cognitive interference channel with confidential messages
(CICC) under the strong secrecy criterion. Existing polar coding schemes for
interference channels rely on the use of polar codes for the multiple access
channel, the code construction problem of which can be complicated. We show
that the whole secrecy capacity region of the CICC can be achieved by simple
point-to-point polar codes due to the cognitivity, and our proposed scheme
requires the minimum rate of randomness at the encoder
A Survey of Physical Layer Security Techniques for 5G Wireless Networks and Challenges Ahead
Physical layer security which safeguards data confidentiality based on the
information-theoretic approaches has received significant research interest
recently. The key idea behind physical layer security is to utilize the
intrinsic randomness of the transmission channel to guarantee the security in
physical layer. The evolution towards 5G wireless communications poses new
challenges for physical layer security research. This paper provides a latest
survey of the physical layer security research on various promising 5G
technologies, including physical layer security coding, massive multiple-input
multiple-output, millimeter wave communications, heterogeneous networks,
non-orthogonal multiple access, full duplex technology, etc. Technical
challenges which remain unresolved at the time of writing are summarized and
the future trends of physical layer security in 5G and beyond are discussed.Comment: To appear in IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communication
Achieving the Uniform Rate Region of General Multiple Access Channels by Polar Coding
We consider the problem of polar coding for transmission over -user
multiple access channels. In the proposed scheme, all users encode their
messages using a polar encoder, while a multi-user successive cancellation
decoder is deployed at the receiver. The encoding is done separately across the
users and is independent of the target achievable rate. For the code
construction, the positions of information bits and frozen bits for each of the
users are decided jointly. This is done by treating the polar transformations
across all the users as a single polar transformation with a certain
\emph{polarization base}. We characterize the resolution of achievable rates on
the dominant face of the uniform rate region in terms of the number of users
and the length of the polarization base . In particular, we prove that
for any target rate on the dominant face, there exists an achievable rate, also
on the dominant face, within the distance at most
from the target rate. We then prove that the proposed MAC polar coding scheme
achieves the whole uniform rate region with fine enough resolution by changing
the decoding order in the multi-user successive cancellation decoder, as
and the code block length grow large. The encoding and decoding
complexities are and the asymptotic block error probability of
is guaranteed. Examples of achievable rates for
the -user multiple access channel are provided
Performance Analysis of a 5G Transceiver Implementation for Remote Areas Scenarios
The fifth generation of mobile communication networks will support a large
set of new services and applications. One important use case is the remote area
coverage for broadband Internet access. This use case ha significant social and
economic impact, since a considerable percentage of the global population
living in low populated area does not have Internet access and the
communication infrastructure in rural areas can be used to improve agribusiness
productivity. The aim of this paper is to analyze the performance of a 5G for
Remote Areas transceiver, implemented on field programmable gate array based
hardware for real-time processing. This transceiver employs the latest digital
communication techniques, such as generalized frequency division multiplexing
waveform combined with 2 by 2 multiple-input multiple-output diversity scheme
and polar channel coding. The performance of the prototype is evaluated
regarding its out-of-band emissions and bit error rate under AWGN channel.Comment: Presented in 2018 European Conference on Networks and Communications
