Increasing network utilization is often considered as the holy grail of communications. In this article, the concept of sub-rate coding and decoding in the framework of linear network coding (LNC) is discussed for single-source multiple-sinks finite acyclic networks. Sub-rate coding offers an add-on to existing LNC. It allows sinks whose max-flow is smaller than the source message-rate, termed emph{sub-rate sinks}, to decode a portion of the transmitted message without degrading the maximum achievable rate of LNC sinks whose max-flow is equal (or greater) than the rate of the source node. The article studies theoretical aspects of sub-rate coding by formulating the conditions a node (and indeed the network) must fulfill so as to qualify as a legitimate sub-rate sink.

In this paper, we study the performance of an energy efficient wireless communication system, assisted by a finite-element-intelligent reflecting surface (IRS). With no instantaneous channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter, we characterize the system performance in terms of the outage probability (OP) of energy efficiency (EE). Depending upon the availability of line-of-sight (LOS) paths, we analyze the system for two different channel models, viz. Rician and Rayleigh. For an arbitrary number of IRS elements $(N)$, we derive the approximate closed-form solutions for the OP of EE, using Laguerre series and moment matching methods. The analytical results are validated using the Monte-Carlo simulations. Moreover, we also quantify the rate of convergence of the derived expressions to the central limit theorem (CLT) approximations using the textit{Berry-Esseen} inequality. Further, we prove that the OP of EE is a strict pseudo-convex function of the transmit power and hence, has a unique global minimum. To obtain the optimal transmit power, we solve the OP of EE as a constrained optimization problem. To the best of our knowledge, the OP of EE as a performance metric, has never been previously studied in IRS-assisted wireless communication systems.
