We develop bounds on the capacity of Poisson-repeat channels (PRCs) for which each input bit is independently repeated according to a Poisson distribution. The upper bounds are obtained by considering an auxiliary channel where the output…
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…
New capacity upper bounds are presented for the discrete-time Poisson channel with no dark current and an average-power constraint. These bounds are a simple consequence of techniques developed for the seemingly unrelated problem of upper…
The asymptotic capacity at low input powers of an average-power limited or an average- and peak-power limited discrete-time Poisson channel is considered. For a Poisson channel whose dark current is zero or decays to zero linearly with its…
In this paper, a channel that is contaminated by two independent Gaussian noises $S ~ N(0,Q)$ and $Z_0 ~ N(0,N_0)$ is considered. The capacity of this channel is computed when independent noisy versions of $S$ are known to the transmitter…
This work considers a Poisson noise channel with an amplitude constraint. It is well-known that the capacity-achieving input distribution for this channel is discrete with finitely many points. We sharpen this result by introducing upper…
The capacity of time-varying channels with periodic feedback at the transmitter is evaluated. It is assumed that the channel state information is perfectly known at the receiver and is fed back to the transmitter at the regular…
The capacity of a time-varying block-memoryless channel in which the transmitter and the receiver have access to (possibly different) noisy causal channel side information (CSI) is obtained. It is shown that the capacity formula obtained in…
A minimal model for gene expression, consisting of a switchable promoter together with the resulting messenger RNA, is equivalent to a Poisson channel with a binary Markovian input process. Determining its capacity is an optimization…
We study two-receiver Poisson channels using tools derived from stochastic calculus. We obtain a general formula for the mutual information over the Poisson channel that allows for conditioning and the use of auxiliary random variables. We…
The classical Binary Symmetric Channel has a fixed transition probability. We discuss the Binary Symmetric Channel with a variable transition probability that depends on a Poisson distribution. The error rate for this channel is determined…
We derive improved and easily computable upper bounds on the capacity of the discrete-time Poisson channel under an average-power constraint and an arbitrary constant dark current term. This is accomplished by combining a general convex…
Communication channels are said to be underspread if their coherence time is greater than their delay spread. In such cases it can be shown that in the infinite bandwidth limit the information capacity tends to that of a channel with…
Deterministic identification (DI) for the discrete-time Poisson channel, subject to an average and a peak power constraint, is considered. It is established that the code size scales as $2^{(n\log n)R}$, where $n$ and $R$ are the block…
The Shannon upper bound places a limit on the error-free information transmission rate (capacity) of a noisy channel. It has stood for over sixty years, and underlies both theoretical and practical work in the telecommunications industry.…
For any binary-input channel with perfect state information at the decoder, if the mutual information between the noisy state observation at the encoder and the true channel state is below a positive threshold determined solely by the state…
The amount of information transmissible through a communications channel is determined by the noise characteristics of the channel and by the quantities of available transmission resources. In classical information theory, the amount of…
Evaluating the channel capacity is one of many key problems in information theory. In this work we derive rather-mild sufficient conditions under which the capacity is finite and achievable. These conditions are derived for generic,…
For information transmission a binary symmetric channel is used. There is also another noisy binary symmetric channel (feedback channel), and the transmitter observes without delay all the outputs of the forward channel via that feedback…
The paper derives the optimal second-order coding rate for the continuous-time Poisson channel. We also obtain bounds on the third-order coding rate. This is the first instance of a second-order result for a continuous-time channel. The…
