Abstract

We consider the scenario of communicating on a 3\mhyphen3\mhyphenuser classical-quantum broadcast channel. We undertake an information theoretic study and focus on the problem of characterizing an inner bound to its capacity region. We design a new coding scheme based \textit{partitioned coset codes} - an ensemble of codes possessing algebraic properties. Analyzing its information-theoretic performance, we characterize a new inner bound. We identify examples for which the derived inner bound is strictly larger than that achievable using IID random codes. Proceeding further, we incorporate Sen's technique of tilting smoothing and augmentation to perform simultaneous decoding via a simultaneous decoding POVM and thereby characterize a further enlarged achievable rate region for communicating classical bits over the 33-user classical-quantum broadcast channel. Finally, in our last step, we characterize a new inner bound to the classical-quantum capacity region of the 33-user classical-quantum broadcast channel that subsumes all previous known inner bounds by combining the conventional unstructured IID codes with structured coset code strategies.

Comments

Added two new theorems that derives two new inner bounds using a simultaneous decoding. These two new inner bounds are obtained by enabling each Rx decode bivariate interference component via simultaneous decoding POVM into their coset codes. We adopt the tilting, smoothing and augmentation approach of Sen to design and analyze our simultaneous decoding POVM
