A simple lemma is derived that allows to transform a general scalar (non-Gaussian, non-additive) continuous-alphabet channel as well as a general multiple-access channel into a modulo-additive noise channel. While in general the transformation is information lossy, it allows to leverage linear coding techniques and capacity results derived for networks comprised of additive Gaussian nodes to more general networks.

Lattice coding and decoding have been shown to achieve the capacity of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. This was accomplished using a minimum mean-square error scaling and randomization to transform the AWGN channel into a modulo-lattice additive noise channel of the same capacity. It has been further shown that when operating at rates below capacity but above the critical rate of the channel, there exists a rate-dependent scaling such that the associated modulo-lattice channel attains the error exponent of the AWGN channel. A geometric explanation for this result is developed. In particular, it is shown how the geometry of typical error events for the modulo-lattice channel coincides with that of a spherical code for the AWGN channel.
We respond to [1] which claimed that Modulo-SK scheme outperforms Deepcode [2]. We demonstrate that this statement is not true: the two schemes are designed and evaluated for entirely different settings. DeepCode is designed and evaluated for the AWGN channel with (potentially delayed) uncoded output feedback. Modulo-SK is evaluated on the AWGN channel with coded feedback and unit delay. [1] also claimed an implementation of Schalkwijk and Kailath (SK) [3] which was numerically stable for any number of information bits and iterations. However, we observe that while their implementation does marginally improve over ours, it also suffers from a fundamental issue with precision. Finally, we show that Deepcode dominates the optimized performance of SK, over a natural choice of parameterizations when the feedback is noisy.
In this paper, the problem of securely computing a function over the binary modulo-2 adder multiple-access wiretap channel is considered. The problem involves a legitimate receiver that wishes to reliably and efficiently compute a function of distributed binary sources while an eavesdropper has to be kept ignorant of them. In order to characterize the corresponding fundamental limit, the notion of secrecy computation-capacity is introduced. Although determining the secrecy computation-capacity is challenging for arbitrary functions, it surprisingly turns out that if the function perfectly matches the algebraic structure of the channel and the joint source distribution fulfills certain conditions, the secrecy computation-capacity equals the computation capacity, which is the supremum of all achievable computation rates without secrecy constraints. Unlike the case of securely transmitting messages, no additional randomness is needed at the encoders nor does the legitimate receiver need any advantage over the eavesdropper. The results therefore show that the problem of securely computing a function over a multiple-access wiretap channel may significantly differ from the one of securely communicating messages.
The combination of source coding with decoder side-information (Wyner-Ziv problem) and channel coding with encoder side-information (Gelfand-Pinsker problem) can be optimally solved using the separation principle. In this work we show an alternative scheme for the quadratic-Gaussian case, which merges source and channel coding. This scheme achieves the optimal performance by a applying modulo-lattice modulation to the analog source. Thus it saves the complexity of quantization and channel decoding, and remains with the task of shaping only. Furthermore, for high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the scheme approaches the optimal performance using an SNR-independent encoder, thus it is robust to unknown SNR at the encoder.
This paper considers the multiaccess coded caching systems formulated by Hachem et al., including a central server containing $N$ files connected to $K$ cache-less users through an error-free shared link, and $K$ cache-nodes, each equipped with a cache memory size of $M$ files. Each user has access to $L$ neighbouring cache-nodes with a cyclic wrap-around topology. The coded caching scheme proposed by Hachem et al. suffers from the case that $L$ does not divide $K$, where the needed number of transmissions (a.k.a. load) is at most four times the load expression for the case where $L$ divides $K$. Our main contribution is to propose a novel {it transformation} approach to smartly extend the schemes satisfying some conditions for the well known shared-link caching systems to the multiaccess caching systems. Then we can get many coded caching schemes with different subpacketizations for multiaccess coded caching system. These resulting schemes have the maximum local caching gain (i.e., the cached contents stored at any $L$ neighbouring cache-nodes are different such that the number of retrieval packets by each user from the connected cache-nodes is maximal) and the same coded caching gain as the original schemes. Applying the transformation approach to the well-known shared-link coded caching scheme proposed by Maddah-Ali and Niesen, we obtain a new multiaccess coded caching scheme that achieves the same load as the scheme of Hachem et al. but for any system parameters. Under the constraint of the cache placement used in this new multiaccess coded caching scheme, our delivery strategy is approximately optimal when $K$ is sufficiently large. Finally, we also show that the transmission load of the proposed scheme can be further reduced by compressing the multicast message.
