Timely Lossless Source Coding for Randomly Arriving Symbols
Jing Zhong, Roy D. Yates, Emina Soljanin
We consider a real-time streaming source coding system in which an encoder observes a sequence of randomly arriving symbols from an i.i.d. source, and feeds binary codewords to a F…
Multicast With Prioritized Delivery: How Fresh is Your Data?
Jing Zhong, Roy D. Yates, Emina Soljanin
We consider a multicast network in which real-time status updates generated by a source are replicated and sent to multiple interested receiving nodes through independent links. Th…
Minimizing Content Staleness in Dynamo-Style Replicated Storage Systems
Jing Zhong, Roy D. Yates, Emina Soljanin
Consistency in data storage systems requires any read operation to return the most recent written version of the content. In replicated storage systems, consistency comes at the pr…
Timeliness in Lossless Block Coding
Jing Zhong, Roy D. Yates
We examine lossless data compression from an average delay perspective. An encoder receives input symbols one per unit time from an i.i.d. source and submits binary codewords to a…
