Various wireless sensor network applications involve the computation of a pre-defined function of the measurements without the need for reconstructing each individual sensor reading. Widely-considered examples of such functions include the arithmetic mean and the maximum value. Standard approaches to the computation problem separate computation from communication: quantized sensor readings are transmitted interference-free to a fusion center that reconstructs each sensor reading and subsequently computes the sought function value. Such separation-based computation schemes are generally highly inefficient as a complete reconstruction of individual sensor readings is not necessary for the fusion center to compute a function of them. In particular, if the mathematical structure of the wireless channel is suitably matched (in some sense) to the function, then channel collisions induced by concurrent transmissions of different nodes can be beneficially exploited for computation purposes. Therefore, in this paper a practically relevant analog computation scheme is proposed that allows for an efficient estimate of linear and nonlinear functions over the wireless multiple-access channel. After analyzing the asymptotic properties of the estimation error, numerical simulations are presented to show the potential for huge performance gains when compared with time-division multiple-access based computation schemes.
The problem of characterising the zero-error capacity region for multiple access channels even in the noiseless case has remained an open problem for over three decades. Motivated by this challenging question, a recently developed theory of nonstocha
We consider quantum channels with two senders and one receiver. For an arbitrary such channel, we give multi-letter characterizations of two different two-dimensional capacity regions. The first region characterizes the rates at which it is possible
The fading cognitive multiple-access channel with confidential messages (CMAC-CM) is investigated, in which two users attempt to transmit common information to a destination and user 1 also has confidential information intended for the destination. U
This paper considers the problem of secret communication over a multiple access channel with generalized feedback. Two trusted users send independent confidential messages to an intended receiver, in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. In this se
Over-the-air computation (AirComp) has been recognized as a low-latency solution for wireless sensor data fusion, where multiple sensors send their measurement signals to a receiver simultaneously for computation. Most existing work only considered p
