In an extended preview of the 2011 Shannon lecture, a subjective overview of selected topics in Information Theory, Communications,
and Signal Processing will be presented taking an Information-Estimation perspective. We first review basic information-estimation (I-MMSE) relations and properties in Gaussian additive channels and then address via this framework specific problems and results in:
* Nonlinear optimal filtering;
* Constrained signaling;
* Multi-terminal models touching upon broadcast interference wiretap and cognitive settings as well cellular networks of the Wyner type and novel aspects of interference alignment;
* Efficient codes for point-to-point interference and relay channels;
A statistical physics view of I-MMSE related relations is shortly mentioned. So are time permitting different other applications motivated by incremental channel decompositions namely deterministic and random vector Gaussian channel settings and the broadcasting strategy (variable-to-fixed channel coding). Based on the overviewed framework we point out some new observations and emphasize specific research challenges motivated by the information-estimation perspective. We conclude with an outlook examining general channels and network information theoretic concepts. Prof. Shamai's homepage
