In this talk, I will present applications of the communication theory framework to three research problems. The first is a conventional wireless communications problem, where we present the Time-Frequency Division Duplexing scheme. The second is an application of the communication theory framework to a machine learning problem. And the third is the application of the communication theory framework to a Blockchain problem.
