We investigate the limits of communication over the discrete-time Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel, when the channel output is quantized using a small number of bits. W...
Abstract— Emergent wide-area distributed systems like computational grids present opportunities for large scientific applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms hav...
