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…

We address the problem of coding for classical multiple-access channels (MACs) with the assistance of non-signaling correlations between parties. It is well-known that non-signaling assistance does not change the capacity of classical…

The binary adder is a two-user multiple access channel whose inputs are binary and whose output is the real sum of the inputs. While the Shannon capacity region of this channel is well known, little is known regarding its zero-error…
