Layerless Dynamic Networks
• Dynamic : Separation of functionalities by different time scales no longer optimal. – Time varying channel/network environments, lack of information, high
overhead costs;– Data/side information available in a variety of forms, with a wide range of
quality/precision/reliability;– Broadcasting and interference, beyond point-to-point communications;
• Layerless: New signaling schemes, new metrics– Network information theory: cooperative/cognitive transmissions, relay and
soft information processing;– Dynamic information exchange, feedbacks and multi-way communication;– Heterogeneous data processing, prioritizing data by different levels of
reliability; networking based on new interface to the physical layer;– The principle of network coding, transmit-collect-combine pieces of
information, generalized form and coordination in dynamic networks;– Operating with imperfect side information, robustness and universal
designs.

Thrust Achievement Summary1. Revolutionize upper bounding techniques (thrust 1)2. Determine the optimal channel/network “coding” that achieves these capacity upper
bounds when possible, and characterize for which classes of networks gaps still exist between achievability and upper bounds, and why.
– Coordination capacity – Cover (focus talk);
3. Develop new achievability results for key performance metrics based on networks designed as a single probabilistic mapping with dynamics over multiple timescales
– General framework for systematic development and comparison of signaling schemes– New metrics and new interfaces
• Error-erasure, distortion-outage, joint source channel codes;– New signaling techniques
• Generalized network coding, soft information combining, interference management;• Message embedding, layered codes;• Robust and universal algorithms;• Dynamic communication problems, feedback, mobility;
4. Develop a generalized theory of rate distortion and network utilization (thrust 3)5. Demonstrate the consummated union between information theory, networks, and
control; and why all three are necessary ingredients in this union.– Large network results;– Control view of dynamic information exchange
Thrust Challenges• Formulations beyond capacity
– Philosophical alignment of achievability and converse methodologies– Bounds vs. approximations– New metrics focusing on delays and robustness– Hidden dimensions of limits
• Coordination and Networks– Not all communication has to be reliable: how to measure/utilize soft
information for end-to-end reliability?– Robustness and imperfect side information– Coordination overhead
• Coded side info. / unintended helper / confidential messages• Feedback and dynamic communication problems: are rate and error
exponent the right metrics?
• Impacts and insights to practical problems
