This paper studies binary hypothesis testing with a single sensor that communicates two decision centers over memoryless broadcast channel. The main focus lies on the tradeoff between type-II error exponents achievable at centers. In our proposed scheme, we can partially mitigate this when transmitter has probability larger than 1/2 to distinguish alternate hypotheses centers, i.e., under which...

Consider $n$ nodes communicating over an unreliable broadcast channel. Each node has a single packet that needs to be communicated all other nodes. Time is slotted, and time slot long enough for each one packet. reaches random subset ...

One of the new applications evolving in the Internet is streaming audio/video. A major reason for the growing popularity of Web broadcasting is the compelling new services that can be ooered by streaming digital content. Internet-based services are being developed which offer the same look, feel, and functionality as traditional broadcast television. In addition, new, \value-added" services, li...

We consider an energy harvesting transmitter sending messages to two users over parallel and fading Gaussian broadcast channels. Energy required for communication arrives (is harvested) at the transmitter and a finite-capacity battery stores it before being consumed for transmission. Under off-line knowledge of energy arrival and channel fading variations, we obtain the trade-off between the pe...

The creative industries have frequently expressed concern that they can’t compete with freely available copies of their content. Competing with free is particularly concerning for movie studios, whose content may be more prone to single-use consumption than other industries such as music. This issue has gained renewed importance recently with the advent of new digital video recording technologi...

The key ideas in the theory of broadcast channels are illustrated by discussing some of the progress toward finding the capacity region. The capacity region is still unknown.
