We consider the problem of several users transmitting packets to a base station, and study an optimal scheduling formulation involving three communication layers, namely, the mediu...
Abstract--We investigate the problem of finding minimum-distortion policies for streaming delay-sensitive but distortion-tolerant data. We consider cross-layer approaches which exp...
Abstract--Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are usually decoded by running an iterative belief-propagation algorithm over the factor graph of the code. In the traditional messa...
Abstract--The problem of state estimation with initial state uncertainty is approached from a statistical decision theory point of view. The initial state is regarded as determinis...
An extractor is a function that is used to extract randomness. Given an imperfect random source X and a uniform seed Y , the output (X; Y ) is close to uniform. We study properties...
