Information Theory Papers of the Week
The 20 most important new Information Theory papers of the past week, ranked by potential impact. A new issue comes out every Monday, covering the previous Monday-to-Sunday week.
- 1Non-asymptotic Sphere-Packing Bounds for Finite-Blocklength Scalar Gaussian Multiple-Access and Broadcast Channels
This paper investigates non-asymptotic achievable rate regions of Gaussian multiple-access channels (MACs) and broadcast channels (BCs) in the finite-blocklength regime.
- 2Sub Terahertz LEO Satellite Communication: Is Doppler Shift A Major Challenge?
In this work, we investigate the impact of Doppler frequency shift on sub-terahertz low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications using OFDM transmission.
- 3Drift-Resilient Predictive Interference Management: Online Adaptation of An Extreme-Value Predictor
Building on an extreme-value-theory/kernel-density-estimation (EVT/KDE) predictor with quantile-defined interference states, this paper makes the predictor resilient to unannounced shifts in the interference distribution.
- 4Information-Spectrum General Formulas for The Capacity Region of Classical-Quantum Multiple Access Channels
For classical-quantum multiple access channels (cq-MACs) with two senders, we give several general expressions for the capacity region, valid for arbitrary sequences of channels.

We consider private retrieval of the matrix product $A^\top B^{(\theta)}$ from replicated $P_c$-colluding servers when $B^{(\ell)}=A+N^{(\ell)}$, with the innovations mutually independent and independent of the user-held $A\in\mathbb{F}_q^{m\times m}$.
- 7Movable Antenna-Assisted Secret Key Generation Over Temporally Correlated Channels
We develop an alternating optimization algorithm, combining an exact principal-eigenvector beamforming solution with feasible SCA-based projected gradient position updates.
- 8Restricted HIV-1 Diversity in People with HIV and Exceptionally Low Viral Reservoirs
This study characterizes the genetic features of HIV-1 populations within blood-derived reservoirs of LoViReT individuals.
- 9Wideband Microwave Linear Analog Computer (MiLAC) for Frequency-Flat and Frequency-Selective Processing
In this work, we consider MiLAC implementations based on LC resonators with tunable capacitance, which allow synthesizing near-arbitrary passive lossless impedance matrices at individual frequencies using inductors and varactors.
- 10Non-Coherent Over-the-Air Distributed Consensus: Algorithm Design and Power Control Optimization
In this paper, we develop an NCOTA consensus framework that accommodates row-stochastic mixing, without requiring the conventional average-preservation property of doubly stochastic mixing matrices.
- 11Stealthy Malicious Interference Detection in UAV Formations: A Power-Domain Signaling Game Approach
In this paper, we propose a novel belief-driven stealthy jammer UAV detection scheme from the perspective of Bayesian security game.
- 12Reed-Muller Codes Are Optimal Binary Linear 3-Query LCCs
We prove that any linear $3$-query locally correctable code $C \colon \mathbb{F}_2^k \to \mathbb{F}_2^n$ with constant correction radius must have length $n \geq 2^{\Omega(\sqrt{k})}$.
- 13Finite Attainment and Efficient Computation of Regularized Quantum Channel Relative Entropy
We study when the regularized value is attained at finite blocklength and how efficiently it can be approximated.
- 14Information Complexity of Inner Product and Matrix Multiplication Via Shannon-to-Min-Entropy Conversion
We determine the information complexity of matrix multiplication over finite fields under independent uniform inputs, up to a universal additive constant.
- 15Ray-Tracing-Parameter-Based Lightweight Hybrid Precoding Via Cascade XGBoost for Wideband Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems
This paper proposes XGB-SVD, a lightweight hybrid precoding framework that maps compact ray-tracing path parameters directly to analog beamforming codeword indices using cascade eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost).
- 16Design of A Speech Enhancement-Based Deep Semantic Autoencoder for Wireless Communications
However, traditional communication systems suffer from insufficient semantic extraction and limited noise suppression capability. To address these issues, we propose a Speech enhancement-based Deep Semantic Autoencoder (S-DSA) communication system for wireless communications.
- 17Mapping The Complexity of Democracy: Entropy-Driven Regime Discovery with Machine Learning and Explainable AI
This paper defines unique institutional configurations in various countries according to six V-Dem democracy dimensions, including the Liberal Democracy Index, Electoral Democracy Index, Liberal Component Index, Egalitarian Component Index, Participatory Component Index, and Deliberative Component Index.
- 18A Density Theorem for Non-standard Irreducible Cyclic Codes
We prove a fixed-characteristic density form of the Berger-Charpin conjecture for non-degenerate irreducible cyclic codes: for each prime $p$, the lengths admitting such a non-standard code over some finite field of characteristic $p$ have natural density zero.
- 19The Covering Radius of The Reed--Muller Code \texorpdfstring{$\RM(3,8)$}{RM(3,8)} Is 56
We prove that the covering radius of the third-order Reed--Muller code in eight variables is fifty-six.
- 20Lower Bounds for Adaptive Relaxed Locally Decodable Codes Via The Capped Horvitz--Thompson Estimator
To this end, we introduce a capped Horvitz--Thompson estimator with uniformly bounded discrete derivatives on the $p$-biased cube.
