Key Factors that Influence Network Capacity and Architecture: Feedback, Duality and Source-Channel Separation

摘要

This project understands the fundamental limits of networks from three important perspectives: feedback, duality and source channel separation. Using each of these three key factors, we develop a theory of network architecture from a cross layer perspective: Feedback can help enhance performance and enable control, duality can help transform one architecture to another and source-channel separation can help develop low complexity algorithms.
