Functional Covering of Point Processes
Nirmal V. Shende, Aaron B. Wagner
We introduce a new distortion measure for point processes called functional-covering distortion. It is inspired by intensity theory and is related to both the covering of point pro…
A New Method for Employing Feedback to Improve Coding Performance
Aaron B. Wagner, Nirmal V. Shende, Yücel Altuğ
We introduce a novel mechanism, called timid/bold coding, by which feedback can be used to improve coding performance. For a certain class of DMCs, called compound-dispersion chann…
Measuring Quantum Entropy
Jayadev Acharya, Ibrahim Issa, Nirmal V. Shende +1
The entropy of a quantum system is a measure of its randomness, and has applications in measuring quantum entanglement. We study the problem of measuring the von Neumann entropy, $…
The Stochastic-Calculus Approach to Multi-Receiver Poisson Channels
Nirmal V. Shende, Aaron B. Wagner
We study two-receiver Poisson channels using tools derived from stochastic calculus. We obtain a general formula for the mutual information over the Poisson channel that allows for…
Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex Communications: Degrees of Freedom Analysis under Self-Interference
Nirmal V. Shende, Ozgur Gurbuz, Elza Erkip
In-band full-duplex (FD) communication provides a promising alternative to half-duplex (HD) for wireless systems, due to increased spectral efficiency and capacity. In this paper,…
Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex Relaying: A Capacity Analysis under Self-Interference
Nirmal Shende, Ozgur Gurbuz, Elza Erkip
In this paper multi-antenna half-duplex and full-duplex relaying are compared from the perspective of achievable rates. Full-duplexing operation requires additional resources at th…
