Broadcasting Private Messages Securely

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, László Czap, Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran

Consider a source, Alice, broadcasting private messages to multiple receivers through a broadcast erasure channel; users send back to Alice public feedback that she causally uses to decide the coding strategy for her following transmissions. Recently, the ...

Reduced-Dimension Linear Transform Coding of Correlated Signals in Networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Naveen Goela

A model called the linear transform network (LTN) is proposed to analyze the compression and estimation of correlated signals transmitted over directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). An LTN is a DAG network with multiple source and receiver nodes. Source nodes tra ...

Resource and Performance Comparisons for Different Acquisition Methods that can be Applied to a VHDL-based GPS Receiver in Standalone and Assisted Cases

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

There are mainly three well-known techniques to acquire a GNSS signal. The first, called Serial Search Acquisition, consist in correlating the Pseudo-Random Noise (PRN) codes for all the codes phases and all the frequency bins. The two others make use of t ...

On the capacity of multisource non-coherent network coding

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Mahdi Jafari Siavoshani, Soheil Mohajerzefreh

We consider multisource non-coherent network coding, where multiple sources send information to one or multiple receivers. We prove that this is equivalent to a ldquosubspacerdquo channel, that takes subspaces as inputs and outputs. We then show that the r ...

Multiple source multiple destination topology inference using network coding

Christina Fragouli

n this paper, we combine network cod- ing and tomographic techniques for topology infer- ence. Our goal is to infer the topology of a network by sending probes between a given set of multiple sources and multiple receivers and by having interme- diate node ...

Potentials of Opportunistic Routing in Energy-Constrained Wireless Sensor Networks

Martin Vetterli, François Ingelrest

The low quality of wireless links leads to perpetual packet losses. While an acknowledgment mechanism is generally used to cope with these losses, multiple retransmissions nevertheless occur. Opportunistic routing limits these retransmissions by taking adv ...
