We prove a new extremal inequality, motivated by the vector Gaussian broadcast channel and the distributed source coding with a single quadratic distortion constraint problem. As a corollary, this inequality yields a generalization of the classical vector entropy-power inequality (EPI). As another corollary, this inequality sheds insight into maximizing the differential entropy of the sum of two jointly distributed random variables.

Abstract — An outer bound to the capacity region of the two-receiver discrete memoryless broadcast channel is given. The outer bound is tight for all cases where the capacity region is known. When specialized to the case of no common information, this outer bound is shown to be contained in the Körner-Marton outer bound. This containment is shown to be strict for the binary skewsymmetric broadcast channel. Thus, this outer bound is in general tighter than all other known outer bounds on the discrete memoryless broadcast channel. 1.

We consider the problem of communicating over the general discrete memoryless broadcast channel (BC) with partially cooperating receivers. In our setup, receivers are able to exchange messages over noiseless conference links of finite capacities, prior to decoding the messages sent from the transmitter. In this paper we formulate the general problem of broadcast with cooperation. We first find the capacity region for the case where the BC is physically degraded. Then, we give achievability results for the general broadcast channel, for both the two independent messages case and the single common message case.
Signaling over mimo multi-base systems: Combination of multi-access and broadcast schemes

A new structure for multi-base systems is studied in which each user receives data from two nearby base stations, rather than only from the strongest one. This system can be considered as a combination of broadcast and multi-access channels. By taking advantages of both perspectives, an achievable rate region for a discrete memoryless channel modeled by Pr(y1,y2|x1,x2) is derived. In this model, x1 and x2 represent the transmitted signals by the transmitter one and two, respectively, and y1 and y2 denote the received signals by the receiver one and two, respectively. In this derivation, it is assumed that each transmitter is unaware of the data of the other transmitter, and therefore x1 and x2 are independent. To investigate the advantage of this scheme, an efficient signaling method which works at a corner point of the achievable region for multiple-antenna scenarios is developed. In the proposed scheme, each base station only requires the state information of the channels between the other base station and each user. In this paper, the signaling scheme is elaborated for the case that each transmitter/reciever is equipped with three antennas. It is proven that in such a scenario, the multiplexing gain of four is achievable, which outperforms any other conventional schemes.

An Interference Channel with Generalized Feedback (IFC-GF) is a model for a wireless network where several source-destination pairs compete for the same channel resources, and where the sources have the ability to sense the current channel activity. The signal overheard from the channel provides information about the activity of the other users, and thus furnishes the basis for cooperation. In this two-part paper we study achievable strategies and outer bounds for a general IFC-GF with two source-destination pairs. We then evaluate the proposed regions for the Gaussian channel. Part I: Achievable Region. We propose that the generalized feedback is used to gain knowledge about the message sent by the other user and then exploited in two ways: (a) to relay the messages that can be decoded at both destinations–thus realizing the gains of beam-forming of a distributed multi-antenna system–and (b) to hide the messages that can not be decoded at the non-intended destination–thus leveraging the interference “pre-cancellation” property of dirty-paper-type coding. We show that our achievable region generalizes several known achievable regions for IFC-GF and that it reduces

We characterize the sum capacity of the multiple antenna Gaussian broadcast channel by showing that the existing inner bound of Marton and the existing upper bound of Sato are tight for this channel. We exploit an intimate four-way connection between the multiple antenna broadcast channel, the corresponding point-to-point channel (where the receivers can cooperate), the multiple access channel (where the role of transmitters and receivers are reversed), and the corresponding point-to-point channel (where the transmitters can cooperate).

We identify the common underlying form of the capacity expression that is applicable to both cases where causal or non-causal side information is made available to the transmitter. Using this common form we find that for the single user channel, the multiple access channel, the degraded broadcast channel, and the degraded relay channel, the sum capacity with causal and non-causal side information are identical when all the transmitter side information is also made available to all the receivers. A genie-aided outerbound is developed that states that when a genie provides n bits of side information to a receiver the resulting capacity improvement can not be more than n bits. Combining these two results we are able to bound the relative capacity advantage of non-causal side information over causal side information for both single user as well as various multiple user communication scenarios. Applications of these capacity bounds are demonstrated through examples of random access channels. Interestingly, the capacity results indicate that the excessive MAC layer overheads common in present wireless systems may be avoided through coding across multiple access blocks. It is also shown that even one bit of side information at the transmitter can result in unbounded capacity improvement.

The problem of a nomadic terminal sending information to a remote destination via agents with lossless connections to the destination is investigated. Such a setting suits, e.g. access points of a wireless network where each access point is connected by a wire to a wireline-based network. The Gaussian codebook capacity for the case where the agents do not have any decoding ability is characterized for the Gaussian channel. This restriction is demonstrated to be severe, where allowing the nomadic transmitter to use other signaling improves the rate. For both general and degraded discrete memoryless channels, lower and upper bounds on the capacity are derived. An achievable rate with unrestricted agents, which are capable of decoding, is also given and then used to characterize the capacity for the deterministic channel.
