This paper studies joint antenna array design at the base station (BS) and user devices in line-of-sight (LoS) uplink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems with the goal of exploiting radiative near-field effects to unlock full multiplexing gains. In particular, we establish a scaling law under which there exist uniform sparse array configurations whose sum rate gap to an interference-free upper bound decays with the number of BS antennas. For dense user deployments beyond this scaling regime, we propose a joint array design algorithm with provable performance guarantees, in which each user array is configured to maximize its single-user achievable rate conditioned on the BS array, followed by non-uniform BS array optimization using a submodular surrogate. Our simulation results verify that uniform sparse arrays achieve the interference-free regime predicted by the scaling law. Outside this regime, the proposed joint design closely tracks the interference-free upper bound, demonstrating the benefit of non-uniform BS array optimization.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"7 ","pages":"62-74"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147557873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This motivates investigating whether a generalized reconstruction formulation can provide a theoretical basis for aligning source and reconstruction distributions in practical perceptual codec optimization. Motivated by a synonymity-based semantic information perspective, we reformulate perceptual reconstruction as recovering any admissible sample within an ideal synonymous set (synset) associated with the source, rather than the source sample itself, and establish a synonymous source coding architecture. We then develop a synonymous variational inference (SVI) framework with a synonymous variational lower bound (SVLBO) to analyze synset-oriented compression. Within this framework, we establish a synonymity-perception consistency principle, showing that optimal identification of semantic information is theoretically consistent with perceptual optimization. We further derive a tight-bound synonymous source coding rate characterization and show that its Jensen-limit relaxation leads to a synonymous rate-distortion-perception form for practical optimization. These results provide a principled synonymity-based theoretical rationale for promoting distributional alignment, clarify compatibility with existing RDP formulations and classical RD theory, and suggest the potential practical advantages of synonymous source coding methods.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"7 ","pages":"431-445"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148986092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, this approach introduces a light-computational re-encoding algorithm, called Network AC-RLNC (NET), implemented independently at intermediate nodes. NET adaptively adjusts the Forward Error Correction (FEC) rates and schedules idle periods. It incorporates two distinct suspension mechanisms: 1) Blank Space Period, accounting for the forward-channels bottleneck, and 2) No-New No-FEC approach, based on data availability. We present theoretical lower and upper bounds on in-order delivery delay, goodput, and throughput; in the case of in-order delay, we further derive a mean bound. These analytical results are extended to the multicast scenario, providing a broader understanding of the algorithm’s performance under diverse network conditions. The experimental results achieve significant improvements in resource efficiency, demonstrating a 20% reduction in channel usage compared to baseline RLNC solutions.

We begin by reviewing generalized Bayesian learning frameworks that characterize epistemic uncertainty through generalized posteriors in the model parameter space, as well as “post-Bayes” learning frameworks. We continue by presenting information-theoretic generalization bounds that formalize the relationship between training data quantity and predictive uncertainty, providing a theoretical justification for generalized Bayesian learning. Moving beyond methods with asymptotic statistical validity, we survey uncertainty quantification methods that provide finite-sample statistical guarantees, including conformal prediction and conformal risk control. Finally, we examine recent advances in data efficiency by combining limited labeled data with abundant model predictions or synthetic data.

The event-driven communication mechanism of SNNs allows for sparse and theoretically low-power operations on dedicated neuromorphic hardware. However, the binary nature of instantaneous spikes also leads to considerable information loss in SNNs, resulting in performance degradation. To address this issue, multi-level spiking neuron models have been proposed to provide both low-quantization error and minimal inference latency while approaching the performance of full precision Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). In this paper, we provide an in depth analysis of the different trade-offs between quantization, generalization performance, and energy efficiency between binary SNNs, multi-level SNNs and ANNs for two different applications scenarios: image classification and image denoising. Our goal is to determine analytical thresholds on SNNs activity to understand when SNNs can be more energy efficient than ANNs but also to explain why SNNs cannot provide energy gains in other scenarios. Our analysis is based on an hardware execution model, which allows us to take into account the energy costs related to synaptic operations as well as memory accesses. Our experimental results show that multi-level spiking neurons provide better information compression, allowing therefore a reduction in latency without performance loss for classification tasks. When compared to binary SNNs on image classification scenarios, multi-level SNNs indeed allow reducing by 2 to 3 times the energy consumption depending on the number of quantization intervals. On neuromorphic data, multi-level SNNs allows us to drastically reduce the inference latency to 1 timestep, which corresponds to a compression factor of 10 compared to previously published results on binary SNNs. However, for the image denoising task we observe that neither the binary nor the multi-level SNNs can match the ANNs energy efficiency and performance. Based on a hardware-aware execution model of a neuromorphic SNN accelerator, we then provide analytical upper-bounds on SNNs activity and energy-efficiency. These theoretical bounds are then compared against the experimental results and allows us to understand, from a system level point of view, the relation between energy efficiency, quantization schemes and finally the performance of the SNNs.","PeriodicalId":73295,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal on selected areas in information theory","volume":"7 ","pages":"411-430"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11643735","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148836849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed optimization framework comprises two key new ingredients. First, we show that the BCRB minimization problem corresponds to maximizing beamforming power along certain sensing directions of interest. Second, the classical uplink-downlink duality for multiple-input multiple-output communications can be extended to the ISAC setting, but unlike the classical communication problem, the dual uplink problem for ISAC may entail negative noise power and needs to include an extra condition on the uplink beamformers.
