Joint Source-Channel Coding for Broadcast Channel with Cooperating Receivers
It is known that, as opposed to point-to-point channel, separate source and
channel coding is not optimal in general for sending correlated sources over
multiuser channels. In some works joint source-channel coding has been
investigated for some certain multiuser channels; i.g., multiple access channel
(MAC) and broadcast channel (BC). In this paper, we obtain a sufficient
condition for transmitting arbitrarily correlated sources over a discrete
memoryless BC with cooperating receivers, where the receivers are allowed to
exchange messages via a pair of noisy cooperative links. It is seen that our
results is a general form of previous ones and includes them as its special
cases.Comment: to appear in Proceedings of IEEE Information Theory Workshop - Fall

Principles of Physical Layer Security in Multiuser Wireless Networks: A Survey
This paper provides a comprehensive review of the domain of physical layer
security in multiuser wireless networks. The essential premise of
physical-layer security is to enable the exchange of confidential messages over
a wireless medium in the presence of unauthorized eavesdroppers without relying
on higher-layer encryption. This can be achieved primarily in two ways: without
the need for a secret key by intelligently designing transmit coding
strategies, or by exploiting the wireless communication medium to develop
secret keys over public channels. The survey begins with an overview of the
foundations dating back to the pioneering work of Shannon and Wyner on
information-theoretic security. We then describe the evolution of secure
transmission strategies from point-to-point channels to multiple-antenna
systems, followed by generalizations to multiuser broadcast, multiple-access,
interference, and relay networks. Secret-key generation and establishment
protocols based on physical layer mechanisms are subsequently covered.
Approaches for secrecy based on channel coding design are then examined, along
with a description of inter-disciplinary approaches based on game theory and
stochastic geometry. The associated problem of physical-layer message
authentication is also introduced briefly. The survey concludes with
observations on potential research directions in this area.Comment: 23 pages, 10 figures, 303 refs. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Multiaccess Channels with State Known to Some Encoders and Independent Messages
We consider a state-dependent multiaccess channel (MAC) with state
non-causally known to some encoders. We derive an inner bound for the capacity
region in the general discrete memoryless case and specialize to a binary
noiseless case. In the case of maximum entropy channel state, we obtain the
capacity region for binary noiseless MAC with one informed encoder by deriving
a non-trivial outer bound for this case. For a Gaussian state-dependent MAC
with one encoder being informed of the channel state, we present an inner bound
by applying a slightly generalized dirty paper coding (GDPC) at the informed
encoder that allows for partial state cancellation, and a trivial outer bound
by providing channel state to the decoder also. The uninformed encoders benefit
from the state cancellation in terms of achievable rates, however, appears that
GDPC cannot completely eliminate the effect of the channel state on the
achievable rate region, in contrast to the case of all encoders being informed.
In the case of infinite state variance, we analyze how the uninformed encoder
benefits from the informed encoder's actions using the inner bound and also
provide a non-trivial outer bound for this case which is better than the
trivial outer bound.Comment: Accepted to EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communication and Networking,

Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks Using Multidimensional Correlations
In this paper, a multidimensional-correlation-based sensing scheduling algorithm, (CORN)2, is developed for cognitive radio networks to minimize energy consumption. A sensing quality metric is defined as a measure of the correctness of spectral availability information based on the fact that spectrum sensing information at a given space and time can represent spectrum information at a different point in space and time. The scheduling algorithm is shown to achieve a cost of sensing (e.g., energy consumption, sensing duration) arbitrarily close to the possible minimum, while meeting the sensing quality requirements. To this end, (CORN)2 utilizes a novel sensing deficiency virtual queue concept and exploits the correlation between spectrum measurements of a particular secondary user and its collaborating neighbors. The proposed algorithm is proved to achieve a distributed and arbitrarily close to optimal solution under certain, easily satisfied assumptions. Furthermore, a distributed Selective-(CORN)2 (S-(CORN)2) is introduced by extending the distributed algorithm to allow secondary users to select collaboration neighbors in densely populated cognitive radio networks. In addition to the theoretically proved performance guarantees, the algorithms are evaluated through simulations
Adaptive Power Allocation and Control in Time-Varying Multi-Carrier MIMO Networks
In this paper, we examine the fundamental trade-off between radiated power
and achieved throughput in wireless multi-carrier, multiple-input and
multiple-output (MIMO) systems that vary with time in an unpredictable fashion
(e.g. due to changes in the wireless medium or the users' QoS requirements).
Contrary to the static/stationary channel regime, there is no optimal power
allocation profile to target (either static or in the mean), so the system's
users must adapt to changes in the environment "on the fly", without being able
to predict the system's evolution ahead of time. In this dynamic context, we
formulate the users' power/throughput trade-off as an online optimization
problem and we provide a matrix exponential learning algorithm that leads to no
regret - i.e. the proposed transmit policy is asymptotically optimal in
hindsight, irrespective of how the system evolves over time. Furthermore, we
also examine the robustness of the proposed algorithm under imperfect channel
state information (CSI) and we show that it retains its regret minimization
properties under very mild conditions on the measurement noise statistics. As a
result, users are able to track the evolution of their individually optimum
transmit profiles remarkably well, even under rapidly changing network
conditions and high uncertainty. Our theoretical analysis is validated by
extensive numerical simulations corresponding to a realistic network deployment
and providing further insights in the practical implementation aspects of the
proposed algorithm.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure

Binary Independent Component Analysis with OR Mixtures
Independent component analysis (ICA) is a computational method for separating
a multivariate signal into subcomponents assuming the mutual statistical
independence of the non-Gaussian source signals. The classical Independent
Components Analysis (ICA) framework usually assumes linear combinations of
independent sources over the field of realvalued numbers R. In this paper, we
investigate binary ICA for OR mixtures (bICA), which can find applications in
many domains including medical diagnosis, multi-cluster assignment, Internet
tomography and network resource management. We prove that bICA is uniquely
identifiable under the disjunctive generation model, and propose a
deterministic iterative algorithm to determine the distribution of the latent
random variables and the mixing matrix. The inverse problem concerning
inferring the values of latent variables are also considered along with noisy
measurements. We conduct an extensive simulation study to verify the
effectiveness of the propose algorithm and present examples of real-world
applications where bICA can be applied.Comment: Manuscript submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
