As shown by M\'edard, the capacity of fading channels with imperfect channel-state information (CSI) can be lower-bounded by assuming a Gaussian channel input $X$ with power $P$ and by upper-bounding the conditional entropy $h(X|Y,\hat{H})$…
We investigate the fundamental limits of reliable communication over multi-view channels, in which the channel output is comprised of a large number of independent noisy views of a transmitted symbol. We consider first the setting of…
We establish the capacity of a class of communication channels introduced in [1]. The $n$-letter input from a finite alphabet is passed through a discrete memoryless channel $P_{Z|X}$ and then the output $n$-letter sequence is uniformly…
The linear shift deterministic Y-channel is studied. That is, we have three users and one relay, where each user wishes to broadcast one message to each other user via the relay, resulting in a multi-way relaying setup. The cut-set bounds…
Two types of noise-free relay cascades are investigated. Networks where a source communicates with a distant receiver via a cascade of half-duplex constrained relays, and networks where not only the source but also a single relay node…
We consider a three-terminal state-dependent relay channel with the channel state noncausally available at only the relay. Such a model may be useful for designing cooperative wireless networks with some terminals equipped with cognition…
Lossy transmission over a relay channel in which the relay has access to correlated side information is considered. First, a joint source-channel decode-and-forward scheme is proposed for general discrete memoryless sources and channels.…
This paper considers a multimessage network where each node may send a message to any other node in the network. Under the discrete memoryless model, we prove the strong converse theorem for any network whose cut-set bound is tight, i.e.,…
We study the capacity of the full-duplex bidirectional (or two-way) relay channel with two nodes and one relay. The channels in the forward direction are assumed to be different (in general) than the channels in the backward direction, i.e.…
The capacity regions are investigated for two relay broadcast channels (RBCs), where relay links are incorporated into standard two-user broadcast channels to support user cooperation. In the first channel, the Partially Cooperative Relay…
We present the \epsilon-outage capacity of incremental relaying at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) in a wireless cooperative network with slow Rayleigh fading channels. The relay performs decode-and-forward and repetition coding is…
This paper considers a general Gaussian relay network where a source transmits a message to a destination with the help of N half-duplex relays. It proves that the information theoretic cut-set upper bound to the capacity can be achieved to…
In this paper, a lower bound on the capacity of wireless ad hoc erasure networks is derived in closed form in the canonical case where $n$ nodes are uniformly and independently distributed in the unit area square. The bound holds almost…
Relay networks aid in increasing the rate of communication from source to destination. However, the capacity of even a three-terminal relay channel is an open problem. In this work, we propose a new lower bound for the capacity of the…
Explicit characterization of the capacity region of communication networks is a long standing problem. While it is known that network coding can outperform routing and replication, the set of feasible rates is not known in general.…
Consider a Gaussian relay network where a source node communicates to a destination node with the help of several layers of relays. Recent work has shown that compress-and-forward based strategies can achieve the capacity of this network…
In this paper, a Gaussian two-way relay channel, where two source nodes exchange messages with each other through a relay, is considered. We assume that all nodes operate in full-duplex mode and there is no direct channel between the source…
Consider the broadcast relay channel (BRC) which consists of a source sending information over a two user broadcast channel in presence of two relay nodes that help the transmission to the destinations. Clearly, this network with five nodes…
We consider the problem of broadcast with common messages, and focus on the case that the common message rate $R_{\mathcal{A}}$, i.e., the rate of the message intended for all the receivers in the set $\mathcal{A}$, is the same for all the…
We consider a joint source-channel coding problem on a finite-field multiway relay channel, and we give closed-form lower and upper bounds on the optimal source-channel rate. These bounds are shown to be tight for all discrete memoryless…
