Polar coding in networks: Known results and new directions

This work provides an overview of some polar coding results in network settings, in particular the joint polarization of correlated sources for Slepian-Wolf coding. New directions and recent progress are then discussed, in particular how to use joint polarization of correlated sources for deterministic broadcast channels and secret key generation.
