Towards Communication-Efficient Decentralized Federated Graph Learning over Non-IID Data
Decentralized Federated Graph Learning (DFGL) overcomes potential bottlenecks of the parameter server in FGL by establishing a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication network among workers. However, while extensive cross-worker communication of graph node embeddings is crucial for DFGL training, it introduces substantial communication costs. Most existing works typically construct sparse network topologies or utilize graph neighbor sampling methods to alleviate the communication overhead in DFGL. Intu…

Communiquer en groupe pour l'activisime
Dans ce billet, nous allons discuter de bonnes pratiques pour la communication sécurisée lors de la préparation et de réalisation d'actions militantes. En particulier, nous verrons pourquoi Signal, Whatsapp ou Telegram ne sont pas recommandés avant et pendant les actions militantes. Des solutions alternatives plus sûres seront proposées.

The Right to Communications Confidentiality in Europe: Protecting Privacy, Freedom of Expression, and Trust
In the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides comprehensive rules for the processing of personal data. In addition, the EU lawmaker intends to adopt specific rules to protect confidentiality of communications, in a separate ePrivacy Regulation. Some have argued that there is no need for such additional rules for communications confidentiality. This Article discusses the protection of the right to confidentiality of communications in Europe. We look at the right's…

User-Intent-Driven Semantic Communication via Adaptive Deep Understanding
Semantic communication focuses on transmitting task-relevant semantic information, aiming for intent-oriented communication. While existing systems improve efficiency by extracting key semantics, they still fail to deeply understand and generalize users' real intentions. To overcome this, we propose a user-intention-driven semantic communication system that interprets diverse abstract intents. First, we integrate a multi-modal large model as semantic knowledge base to generate user-intention pr…

The quantum communication power of indefinite causal order
Quantum theory is in principle compatible with scenarios where physical processes take place in an indefinite causal order, a possibility that was shown to yield advantages in several information processing tasks. However, advantages in communication, the most basic form of information processing, have so far remained controversial and hard to prove. Here we develop a framework that can be used to rigorously assess the role of causal order in a scenario where communication links are built by as…

Privacy Preserving Semantic Communications Using Vision Language Models: A Segmentation and Generation Approach
Semantic communication has emerged as a promising paradigm for next-generation wireless systems, improving the communication efficiency by transmitting high-level semantic features. However, reliance on unimodal representations can degrade reconstruction under poor channel conditions, and privacy concerns of the semantic information attack also gain increasing attention. In this work, a privacy-preserving semantic communication framework is proposed to protect sensitive content of the image dat…

Design and analysis of a set of discrete variable protocols for secure quantum communication
The advent of quantum key distribution (QKD) has revolutionized secure communication by providing unconditional security, unlike classical cryptographic methods. However, its effectiveness relies on robust identity authentication, as vulnerabilities in the authentication process can cause a compromise with the security of the entire communication system. Over the past three decades, numerous quantum identity authentication (QIA) protocols have been proposed. This thesis first presents a chronol…

Interference Mitigation for OFDM-based Integrated Sensing and Communications with Arbitrary Modulation Formats
Integrated sensing and communication will be a key feature of future mobile networks, enabling highly efficient systems and numerous new applications by leveraging communication signals for sensing. In this paper, we analyze the impact of arbitrary modulation alphabets on the sensing performance of communication-centric OFDM systems as expected in the next-generation 6G networks. We evaluate existing interference mitigation techniques, such as coherent successive target cancellation, and propos…
