In this paper, we propose a new cooperation model for discrete memoryless multiple access channels. Unlike in prior cooperation models (e.g., conferencing encoders), where the transmitters cooperate directly, in this model the transmitters…
We consider a cooperative two-user multiaccess channel in which the transmission is controlled by a random state. Both encoders transmit a common message and, one of the encoders also transmits an individual message. We study the capacity…

The coordination of autonomous agents is a critical issue for decentralized communication networks. Instead of transmitting information, the agents interact in a coordinated manner in order to optimize a general objective function. A target…
Capacity gain from transmitter and receiver cooperation are compared in a relay network where the cooperating nodes are close together. When all nodes have equal average transmit power along with full channel state information (CSI), it is…

It has been recently shown by Lapidoth and Steinberg that strictly causal state information can be beneficial in multiple access channels (MACs). Specifically, it was proved that the capacity region of a two-user MAC with independent…
In fact, the broadcast nature of every transmitter makes it possible for other transceivers in the channel to overhear the broadcasted signal. The proposed idea in cooperative communication is to use these intermediate transceivers as relay…
