Abstract

We analyze message identification via Gaussian channels with noiseless feedback, which is part of the Post Shannon theory. The consideration of communication systems beyond Shannon's approach is useful in order to increase the efficiency of information transmission for certain applications. If the noise variance is positive, we propose a coding scheme that generates infinite common randomness between the sender and the receiver. We show that any identification rate via the Gaussian channel with noiseless feedback can be achieved. The remarkable result is that this applies to both rate definitions$\frac{1}{n}\log M$(as defined by Shannon for transmission) and$\frac{1}{n}\ \log \log\ M$— (as defined by Ahlswede and Dueck for identification). We can even show that our result holds regardless of the selected scaling for the rate. A detailed version with all proofs, explanations and more discussions can be found in [1].

Identification via Gaussian Multiple Access Channels in the Presence of Feedback

Yaning Zhao, Wafa Labidi, Holger Boche +2 more

We investigate message identification over a K-sender Gaussian multiple access channel (K-GMAC). Unlike conventional Shannon transmission codes, the size of randomized identification (ID) codes experiences a doubly exponential growth in the code length. Improvements in the ID approach can be attained through additional resources such as quantum entanglement, common randomness (CR), and feedback. It has been demonstrated that an infinite capacity can be attained for a single-user Gaussian channel with noiseless feedback, irrespective of the chosen rate scaling. We establish the capacity region of both the K-sender Gaussian multiple access channel (K-GMAC) and the K-sender state-dependent Gaussian multiple access channel (K-SD-GMAC) when strictly causal noiseless feedback is available.

Deterministic Identification Over Channels With Power Constraints

Mohammad J. Salariseddigh, Uzi Pereg, Holger Boche +1 more

Identification capacity is developed without randomization at neither the encoder nor the decoder. In particular, full characterization is established for the deterministic identification (DI) capacity for the Gaussian channel and for the general discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with and without constraints. Originally, Ahlswede and Dueck established the identification capacity with local randomness given at the encoder, resulting in a double exponential number of messages. In the deterministic setup, the number of messages scales exponentially, as in Shannon’s transmission paradigm, but the achievable identification rates can be significantly higher than those of transmission. Ahlswede and Dueck further stated a capacity result for the deterministic setting of a DMC, but did not provide an explicit proof. In this paper, a detailed proof is given for both the Gaussian channel and the general DMC. The DI capacity of a Gaussian channel is infinite regardless of the noise.

Secure Identification for Gaussian Channels

Wafa Labidi, Christian Deppe, Holger Boche

New applications in modern communications are demanding robust and ultra-reliable low latency information exchange such as machine-to-machine and human-to-machine communications. For many of these applications, the identification approach of Ahlswede and Dueck is much more efficient than the classical transmission scheme proposed by Shannon. Previous studies concentrate mainly on identification over discrete channels. We focus on Gaussian channels for their known practical relevance. We deal with secure identification over Gaussian channels. In particular, we provide a suitable coding scheme for the Gaussian wiretap channel (GWC) and determine the corresponding secure identification capacity.

Common Randomness Generation and Identification over Gaussian Channels

Rami Ezzine, Wafa Labidi, Holger Boche +1 more

Common randomness (CR), as a resource, is not commonly used in existing practical communication systems. In the common randomness framework, both sender and receiver, often described as terminals, aim to generate a common random variable observable to both, perhaps with low error probability. The knowledge of this CR allows to implement correlated random protocols that could lead to faster and more efficient algorithms. We characterize CR over Gaussian channels for their practical relevance in many communication situations by deriving the CR capacity for both Gaussian Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) cases. Furthermore, CR plays a key role in the identification scheme. In many new applications such as several machine-to-machine and human-to-machine systems and the tactile internet, which demand ultra-reliable low latency, the identification or also called post-Shannon scheme is proved to be more efficient than the classical transmission. It has been proved that through CR generation, the post-Shannon communication task allows to achieve an enormous performance gain. We consider a correlation-assisted secure identification scheme over Gaussian wiretap channels (GWC) and develop a lower bound on the corresponding secure identification capacity.

Secure Identification for Gaussian Channels and Identification for Multi-Antenna Gaussian Channels

Wafa Labidi, Christian Deppe, Holger Boche

New applications in modern communications are demanding robust and ultra-reliable low latency information exchange such as machine-to-machine and human-to-machine communications. For many of these applications, the identification approach of Ahlswede and Dueck is much more efficient than the classical message transmission scheme proposed by Shannon. Previous studies concentrate mainly on identification over discrete channels. For discrete channels, it was proved that identification is robust under channels uncertainty. Furthermore, optimal identification schemes that are secure and robust against jamming attacks have been considered. However, no results for continuous channels have yet been established. That is why we focus on the continuous case: the Gaussian channel for its known practical relevance. We deal with secure identification over Gaussian channels. Provable secure communication is of a high interest for future communication systems. A key technique for implementing secure communication is the physical layer security based on information theoretic security. We model this with the wiretap channel. In particular, we provide a suitable coding scheme for the Gaussian wiretap channel (GWC) and determine the corresponding secure identification capacity. We also consider Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Gaussian channels and provide an efficient signal-processing scheme. This scheme allows a separation of signal-processing and Gaussian coding.
