Network Information Theory
This comprehensive treatment of network information theory and its applications pro-
vides the first unified coverage of both classical and recent results. With an approach that
balances the introduction of new models and new coding techniques, readers are guided
through Shannon’s point-to-point information theory, single-hop networks, multihop
networks, and extensions to distributed computing, secrecy, wireless communication,
and networking. Elementary mathematical tools and techniques are used throughout,
requiring only basic knowledge of probability, whilst unified proofs of coding theorems
are based on a few simple lemmas, making the text accessible to newcomers. Key topics
covered include successive cancellation and superposition coding, MIMO wireless com-
munication, network coding, and cooperative relaying. Also covered are feedback and
interactive communication, capacity approximations and scaling laws, and asynchronous
and random access channels. This book is ideal for use in the classroom, for self-study,
and as a reference for researchers and engineers in industry and academia.
Abbas El Gamal is the Hitachi America Chaired Professor in the School of Engineering
and the Director of the Information Systems Laboratory in the Department of Electri-
cal Engineering at Stanford University. In the field of network information theory, he is
best known for his seminal contributions to the relay, broadcast, and interference chan-
nels; multiple description coding; coding for noisy networks; and energy-efficient packet
scheduling and throughput–delay tradeoffs in wireless networks. He is a Fellow of IEEE
and the winner of the 2012 Claude E. Shannon Award, the highest honor in the field of
information theory.
Young-Han Kim is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Com-
puter Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on
information theory and statistical signal processing. He is a recipient of the 2008 NSF
Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award and the 2009 US–Israel Binational
Science Foundation Bergmann Memorial Award.
