[Lewis, Lindsay R]

Network information theory, code designs, and applications
Professor Zixiang Xiong, TAMU, IEEE fellow
Host: Zhu Han
Time: 2/4/11, D102 10:00am

Network information theory, although still partial, generalizes Shannon's classic information theory and offers strong potential gains over conventional point-to-point communications. Problems considered in network information theory include source coding with side information (Slepian-Wolf
coding, and Wyner-Ziv coding, and multiterminal source coding (e.g., the CEO problem)), multiple description coding, channel coding with side information (Gelfand-Pinsker coding and dirty-paper coding), the multiple-access channel, the MIMO broadcast channel, the relay channel, the interference channel, and network coding. This talk starts with a high-level summary of the state of affairs on network information theory, followed by highlights of progresses made on both theory and code designs in the past decade. It then showcases a wide range of applications, climaxing in a tribute to information theory gurus at the end.
Zixiang Xiong received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 1996 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is currently a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University.
