Union of Networking and Information Theory

In general, the models in information theory do not capture two key aspects of real-world networks transmitters may not always have data to transmit and nodes have finite buffer sizes. On the other hand, network oriented studies focus on the bursty nature of the sources, but do not accurately describe the underlying physical channel model. Information theory has provided good models for noise and interference due to simultaneous transmissions. The primary goal of the research is to bridge the gap between these two approaches and this in turn can provide new insights on the system performance.
