For a class $\mathcal{C}$ of binary linear codes, we write $\theta_{\mathcal{C}}\colon (0,1) \to [0,\frac{1}{2}]$ for the maximum-likelihood decoding threshold function of $\mathcal{C}$, the function whose value at $R \in (0,1)$ is the…

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…
