We consider the sequential transmission of a stream of messages over a block-fading multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) channel. A new message arrives at the beginning of each coherence block, and the decoder is required to output each message…

A transmitter observing a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables seeks to keep a receiver updated about its latest observations. The receiver need not be apprised about each symbol seen by the transmitter, but…
