Bounds on the Capacity of the Relay Channel with Noncausal State Information at Source
We consider a three-terminal state-dependent relay channel with the channel
state available non-causally at only the source. Such a model may be of
interest for node cooperation in the framework of cognition, i.e.,
collaborative signal transmission involving cognitive and non-cognitive radios.
We study the capacity of this communication model. One principal problem in
this setup is caused by the relay's not knowing the channel state. In the
discrete memoryless (DM) case, we establish lower bounds on channel capacity.
For the Gaussian case, we derive lower and upper bounds on the channel
capacity. The upper bound is strictly better than the cut-set upper bound. We
show that one of the developed lower bounds comes close to the upper bound,
asymptotically, for certain ranges of rates.Comment: 5 pages, submitted to 2010 IEEE International Symposium on

A Timeline of the Evolution of Retirement in the United States
This document provides key highlights in the history of retirement in the United States. It provides some background on how the concept of retirement, and its legal treatment, has evolved. This time-line does not include every law related to pension and retirement plans. Rather, it emphasizes those laws that have come to shape how we view retirement, particularly the tax laws that encouraged employers to establish pension and retirement plans in the first place
