Research Summary
Information theory is a powerful tool in setting up theoretical bounds on rate at which information can be transmitted across point to point and multi user channels, and rate at which any source can be compressed. This motivated me to work in the field of Information theory. As a part of my PhD, I have been working on multi user channels with side information or state information known at encoders. This state or side information could be interference from other users, fading coefficients, or watermarking signal in watermarking applications. I would like to answer following questions as a part of my PhD.
- In the case of multi user channels with state information, if all users have access to state information prior to transmission of information, Can these users benefit in terms of achievable rates?
- If some of the users are strong enough to capture the information about state of the channel prior to transmission of information, Can these informed users help uninformed users in terms of achievable rates and decoder in estimating the state of the channel simultaneously or separately?
We know that there is a duality between channel coding and source coding in most of the cases. This motivates me to work on source coding problems dual to multi-user channels with side or state information known at the encoder.
