Structured Codes: Harnessing Interference to Improve Communication Networks. Interference occurs when a device involuntarily receives signals from unintended transmitters. Interference is the biggest challenge in modern large-scale communication networks. In contrast to conventional wisdom that avoids interference, this project aims to harness interference for its advantage.
