JIDAS under rate-limited or delayed feedback

Investigate joint identification and sensing over state-dependent discrete memoryless channels when the transmitter observes rate-limited or delayed strictly causal feedback, and characterize the resulting performance limits and tradeoffs.

Background

The current analysis models noisy strictly causal feedback where the encoder observes a corrupted version of past outputs. Practical systems often experience additional non-idealities such as rate limitations or delays on the feedback link.

Developing a framework for rate-limited and delayed feedback would generalize the results beyond the current model and provide insights into how feedback constraints affect common-randomness generation, identification reliability, and sensing distortion.

References

Several directions remain open. It is also of interest to study other non-ideal feedback models, such as rate-limited or delayed feedback, and to extend the analysis from per-symbol to average distortion constraints.
