The problem of multicasting two nested messages is studied over a class of networks known as combination networks. A source multicasts two messages, a common and a private message, to several receivers. A subset of the receivers (called the public receivers) only demand the common message and the rest of the receivers (called the private receivers) demand both the common and the private message. Three encoding schemes are discussed that employ linear superposition coding and their optimality is proved in special cases. The standard linear superposition scheme is shown to be optimal for networks with two public receivers and any number of private receivers. When the number of public receivers increases, this scheme stops being optimal. Two improvements are discussed: one using pre-encoding at the source, and one using a block Markov encoding scheme. The rate-regions that are achieved by the two schemes are characterized in terms of feasibility problems. Both inner-bounds are shown to be the capacity region for networks with three (or fewer) public and any number of private receivers. Although the inner bounds are not comparable in general, it is shown through an example that the region achieved by the block Markov encoding scheme may strictly include the region achieved by the pre-encoding/linear superposition scheme. Optimality results are founded on the general framework of Balister and Bollobas (2012) for sub-modularity of the entropy function. An equivalent graphical representation is introduced and a lemma is proved that might be of independent interest. Motivated by the connections between combination networks and broadcast channels, a new block Markov encoding scheme is proposed for broadcast channels with two nested messages. The rate-region that is obtained includes the previously known rate-regions. It remains open whether this inclusion is strict.

This paper studies the problem of information theoretic secure communication when a source has private messages to transmit to $m$ destinations, in the presence of a passive adversary who eavesdrops an unknown set of $k$ edges. The information theore tic secure capacity is derived over unit-edge capacity separable networks, for the cases when $k=1$ and $m$ is arbitrary, or $m=3$ and $k$ is arbitrary. This is achieved by first showing that there exists a secure polynomial-time code construction that matches an outer bound over two-layer networks, followed by a deterministic mapping between two-layer and arbitrary separable networks.
Motivated by DNA-based storage, we study the noisy shuffling channel, which can be seen as the concatenation of a standard noisy channel (such as the BSC) and a shuffling channel, which breaks the data block into small pieces and shuffles them. This channel models a DNA storage system, by capturing two of its key aspects: (1) the data is written onto many short DNA molecules that are stored in an unordered way and (2) the molecules are corrupted by noise at synthesis, sequencing, and during storage. For the BSC-shuffling channel we characterize the capacity exactly (for a large set of parameters), and show that a simple index-based coding scheme is optimal.
In a traditional $(H, r)$ combination network, each user is connected to a unique set of $r$ relays. However, few research efforts to consider $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network problem where each $u$ users are connected to a unique set of $ r$ relays. A naive strategy to obtain a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is by $u$ times repeated application of a coded caching scheme for a traditional $(H, r)$ combination network. Obviously, the transmission load for each relay of this trivial scheme is exactly $u$ times that of the original scheme, which implies that as the number of users multiplies, the transmission load for each relay will also multiply. Therefore, it is very meaningful to design a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network with lower transmission load for each relay. In this paper, by directly applying the well known coding method (proposed by Zewail and Yener) for $(H, r)$ combination network, a coded caching scheme (ZY scheme) for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is obtained. However, the subpacketization of this scheme has exponential order with the number of users, which leads to a high implementation complexity. In order to reduce the subpacketization, a direct construction of a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is proposed by means of Combinational Design Theory, where the parameter $u$ must be a combinatorial number. For arbitrary parameter $u$, a hybrid construction of a coded caching scheme for $(H, r, u)$ multiaccess combination network is proposed based on our direct construction. Theoretical and numerical analysis show that our last two schemes have smaller transmission load for each relay compared with the trivial scheme, and have much lower subpacketization compared with ZY scheme.
In this paper, we propose a new combined message passing algorithm which allows belief propagation (BP) and mean filed (MF) applied on a same factor node, so that MF can be applied to hard constraint factors. Based on the proposed message passing alg orithm, a iterative receiver is designed for MIMO-OFDM systems. Both BP and MF are exploited to deal with the hard constraint factor nodes involving the multiplication of channel coefficients and data symbols to reduce the complexity of the only BP used. The numerical results show that the BER performance of the proposed low complexity receiver closely approach that of the state-of-the-art receiver, where only BP is used to handled the hard constraint factors, in the high SNRs.
Jolfaei et al. used feedback to create transmit signals that are simultaneously useful for multiple users in a broadcast channel. Later, Georgiadis and Tassiulas studied erasure broadcast channels with feedback, and presented the capacity region unde r certain assumptions. These results provided the fundamental ideas used in communication protocols for networks with delayed channel state information. However, to the best of our knowledge, the capacity region of erasure broadcast channels with feedback and with a common message for both receivers has never been presented. This latter problem shows up as a sub-problem in many multi-terminal communication networks such as the X-Channel, and the two-unicast problem. In this work, we present the capacity region of the two-user erasure broadcast channels with delayed feedback, private messages, and a common message. We consider arbitrary and possibly correlated erasure distributions. We develop new outer-bounds that capture feedback and quantify the impact of delivering a common message on the capacity region. We also propose a transmission strategy that achieves the outer-bounds. Our transmission strategy differs from prior results in that to achieve the capacity, it creates side-information at the weaker user such that the decodability is ensured even if we multicast the common message with a rate higher than its link capacity.
