An equivalence between network coding and index coding

M Effros, S El Rouayheb… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We show that the network coding and index coding problems are equivalent. This
equivalence holds in the general setting which includes linear and nonlinear codes …

Broadcasting with side information

N Alon, E Lubetzky, U Stav, A Weinstein… - 2008 49th Annual …, 2008 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A sender holds a word x consisting of n blocks xi, each of t bits, and wishes to broadcast a
codeword to m receivers, R 1,..., R m. Each receiver R i is interested in one block, and has …

Multiround private information retrieval: Capacity and storage overhead

H Sun, SA Jafar - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Private information retrieval (PIR) is the problem of retrieving one message out of K
messages from N noncommunicating replicated databases, where each database stores all …

Fundamentals of index coding

F Arbabjolfaei, YH Kim - Foundations and Trends® in …, 2018 - nowpublishers.com
Index coding is a canonical problem in network information theory that studies the
fundamental limit and optimal coding schemes for broadcasting multiple messages to …

Entropic inequalities and marginal problems

T Fritz, R Chaves - IEEE transactions on information theory, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A marginal problem asks whether a given family of marginal distributions for some set of
random variables arises from some joint distribution of these variables. Here, we point out …

Theory of secure network coding

N Cai, T Chan - Proceedings of the IEEE, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this tutorial paper, we focus on the basic theory of linear secure network coding. Our goal
is to present fundamental results and provide preliminary knowledge for anyone interested …

On the hardness of approximating the network coding capacity

M Langberg, A Sprintson - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This work addresses the computational complexity of achieving the capacity of a general
network coding instance. It has been shown [Lehman and Lehman, SODA 2005] that …

Index coding via linear programming

A Blasiak, R Kleinberg, E Lubetzky - arxiv preprint arxiv:1004.1379, 2010 - arxiv.org
Index Coding has received considerable attention recently motivated in part by real-world
applications and in part by its connection to Network Coding. The basic setting of Index …

Undecidability of network coding, conditional information inequalities, and conditional independence implication

CT Li - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We resolve three long-standing open problems, namely the (algorithmic) decidability of
network coding, the decidability of conditional information inequalities, and the decidability …
