Joint Source-Channel Coding over a Fading Multiple Access Channel with Partial Channel State Information
In this paper we address the problem of transmission of correlated sources
over a fast fading multiple access channel (MAC) with partial channel state
information available at both the encoders and the decoder. We provide
sufficient conditions for transmission with given distortions. Next these
conditions are specialized to a Gaussian MAC (GMAC). We provide the optimal
power allocation strategy and compare the strategy with various levels of
channel state information.

Dynamic algorithms for multicast with intra-session network coding
The problem of multiple multicast sessions with
intra-session network coding in time-varying networks is considered.
The network-layer capacity region of input rates that can be
stably supported is established. Dynamic algorithms for multicast
routing, network coding, power allocation, session scheduling, and
rate allocation across correlated sources, which achieve stability
for rates within the capacity region, are presented. This work
builds on the back-pressure approach introduced by Tassiulas
et al., extending it to network coding and correlated sources. In
the proposed algorithms, decisions on routing, network coding,
and scheduling between different sessions at a node are made
locally at each node based on virtual queues for different sinks.
For correlated sources, the sinks locally determine and control
transmission rates across the sources. The proposed approach
yields a completely distributed algorithm for wired networks.
In the wireless case, power control among different transmitters
is centralized while routing, network coding, and scheduling
between different sessions at a given node are distributed
