Abstract
A subjective overview of selected topics in Information Theory, Communications, and Signal Processing will be presented taking an Information-Estimation perspective.
- We first review basic information-estimation (I-MMSE) relations and听properties in Gaussian additive channels, and then address via this听framework specific problems and results in:听
- Nonlinear optimal听filtering;听
- Constrained signaling;听
- Multi-terminal models, touching upon听broadcast, interference, wiretap, and cognitive settings as well听cellular networks of the Wyner type, and novel aspects of interference听alignment;听
- Efficient codes for point-to-point, interference and relay channels;
听
A statistical physics view of I-MMSE related relations, is shortly mentioned. So are, time permitting, different other applications motivated by the incremental channel decomposition, namely deterministic and random vector Gaussian channels, and the broadcasting strategy (variable-to-fixed channel coding).
Based on the overviewed framework, we emphasize specific research听challenges in these areas motivated by the information-estimation听perspective and close the lecture with an outlook examining general听channels and network information theoretic concepts.
