The information bottleneck channel (or the oblivious relay channel) concerns a channel coding setting where the decoder does not directly observe the channel output. Rather, the channel output is relayed to the decoder by an oblivious relay…

Full-rate (FR) and full-diversity (FD) are attractive features in MIMO systems. We refer to systems which achieve both FR and FD simultaneously as FRFD systems. Non-orthogonal STBCs can achieve FRFD without feedback, but their ML decoding…
