Fundamental Limits of Delay and Security in Device-to-Device Communication

Abstract

As networks become more distributed, the bulk of the communication is being carried out between end-users or devices. The distributed nature of the communication poses novel challenges for efficient operation of such networks and requires design considerations that are fundamentally different from those of classical point-to-point communication systems. This thesis studies two such design issues, (1) delay management and (2) security, and attempts to understand the information-theoretic limits of distributed communication with regard to these issues.
