The zero-error capacity of channels with a countably infinite input alphabet formally generalises Shannon's classical problem about the capacity of discrete memoryless channels. We solve the problem for three particular channels. Our…

Calculating the capacity (with or without feedback) of channels with memory and continuous alphabets is a challenging task. It requires optimizing the directed information (DI) rate over all channel input distributions. The objective is a…

This paper considers error probabilities of random codes for memoryless channels in the fixed-rate regime. Random coding is a fundamental scheme to achieve the channel capacity and many studies have been conducted for the asymptotics of the…

The capacity of the point-to-point vector Gaussian channel under the peak power constraint is not known in general. This paper considers a simpler scenario in which the input signal vector is forced to have a constant envelope (or norm).…

This paper studies the zero error capacity of the Nearest Neighbor Error (NNE) channels with a multilevel alphabet. In the NNE channels, a transmitted symbol is a $d$-tuple of elements in $\{0,1,2,\dots, n-1 \}$. It is assumed that only one…

We consider capacity of discrete-time channels with feedback for the general case where the feedback is a time-invariant deterministic function of the output samples. Under the assumption that the channel states take values in a finite…

The necessary and sufficient condition of the channel capacity is rigorously formulated for the N-user discrete memoryless multiple-access channel (MAC). The essence of the formulation is to invoke an {\em elementary} MAC where sizes of…

We obtain a new upper bound on the capacity of a class of discrete memoryless relay channels. For this class of relay channels, the relay observes an i.i.d. sequence $T$, which is independent of the channel input $X$. The channel is…

Motivated by communication systems with constrained complexity, we consider the problem of input symbol selection for discrete memoryless channels (DMCs). Given a DMC, the goal is to find a subset of its input alphabet, so that the optimal…

The capacity of a channel with an energy-harvesting (EH) encoder and a finite battery remains an open problem, even in the noiseless case. A key instance of this scenario is the binary EH channel (BEHC), where the encoder has a unit-sized…
