This paper revisits the Gaussian degraded relay channel, where the link that carries information from the source to the destination is a physically degraded version of the link that carries information from the source to the relay. The…

Classical multiuser information theory studies the fundamental limits of models with a fixed (often small) number of users as the coding blocklength goes to infinity. This work proposes a new paradigm, referred to as {\em many-user…

In 2017, Polyanskiy [1] showed that the trade-off between power and bandwidth efficiency for massive Gaussian random access is governed by two fundamentally different regimes: low power and high power. For both regimes, tight performance…

A bound on the maximum information transmission rate through a cascade of Gaussian links is presented. The network model consists of a source node attempting to send a message drawn from a finite alphabet to a sink, through a cascade of…

The sum-capacity is studied for a K-user degraded Gaussian multiaccess relay channel (MARC) where the multiaccess signal received at the destination from the K sources and relay is a degraded version of the signal received at the relay from…

Lattice codes used under the Compute-and-Forward paradigm suggest an alternative strategy for the standard Gaussian multiple-access channel (MAC): The receiver successively decodes integer linear combinations of the messages until it can…

This article shows that the set of HK constraints correspond to projecting the intersection of two multiple access channels on its sup-spaces. A key property of HK constraints is that the private message of user 1 (or of user 2) is the last…
