Contents:
Security, privacy, robustness to attacks. Security implications and benefits; interaction of network coding and encryption, overhead; fundamental security properties; anonymity and robustness to blocking.
Network Coding implications on pricing and economics. How to price services: on network usage or information rate; incentives to code across flows.
The following are topics of interest in Network Coding practical application: Architectural considerations. Architectural requirements in large-scale, heterogeneous networks; relationships between data transport, control, forwarding planes and data layer.
End-to-end vs. Stateful operation of Network Coding intermediate systems; richer interface requirements between routing and transport layers.
Intra-flow and inter-flow Network Coding. Tradeoffs between performance gains and complexity of operation. Service paradigms best effort, time-bounded utility.
Part I is a rigorous treatment of information theory for discrete and continuous systems. In addition to the classical topics, there are such modern topics as the I-Measure, Shannon-type and non-Shannon-type information inequalities, and a fundamental relation between entropy and group theory.
With information theory as the foundation, Part II is a comprehensive treatment of network coding theory with detailed discussions on linear network codes, convolutional network codes, and multi-source network coding.
This book is an evolution from my book A First Course in Information Theory published in when network coding was still at its infancy. The last few years . Cover and Thomas wrote a book on information theory [72] ten mation theory, but also have applications in network coding theory, probabil-.

Payment Methods accepted by seller. It works with the inner code which comprises random linear coding at the intermediate network nodes. The computational and storage capabilities of the intermediate network nodes required for applying BATS codes are independent of the number of packets for transmission. It has been verified theoretically for certain special cases and demonstrated numerically for general cases that BATS codes can achieve rates very close to optimality.
In spring , he gave the first MOOC in the world on information theory that reached over 25, students. His research interest is in information theory and network coding.
He was a consultant in a project of Jet Propulsion Laboratory for salvaging the malfunctioning Galileo Spacecraft.
