State-Dependent Relay Channel with Private Messages with Partial Causal and Non-Causal Channel State Information
In this paper, we introduce a discrete memoryless State-Dependent Relay
Channel with Private Messages (SD-RCPM) as a generalization of the
state-dependent relay channel. We investigate two main cases: SD-RCPM with
non-causal Channel State Information (CSI), and SD-RCPM with causal CSI. In
each case, it is assumed that partial CSI is available at the source and relay.
For non-causal case, we establish an achievable rate region using
Gel'fand-Pinsker type coding scheme at the nodes informed of CSI, and
Compress-and-Forward (CF) scheme at the relay. Using Shannon's strategy and CF
scheme, an achievable rate region for causal case is obtained. As an example,
the Gaussian version of SD-RCPM is considered, and an achievable rate region
for Gaussian SD-RCPM with non-causal perfect CSI only at the source, is
derived. Providing numerical examples, we illustrate the comparison between
achievable rate regions derived using CF and Decode-and-Forward (DF) schemes.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, to be presented at the IEEE International

Rate Regions for the Partially-Cooperative Relay Broadcast Channel with Non-causal Side Information
In this work, we consider a partially cooperative relay broadcast channel
(PC-RBC) controlled by random parameters. We provide rate regions for two
different situations: 1) when side information (SI) S^n on the random
parameters is non-causally known at both the source and the relay and, 2) when
side information S^n is non-causally known at the source only. These achievable
regions are derived for the general discrete memoryless case first and then
extended to the case when the channel is degraded Gaussian and the SI is
additive i.i.d. Gaussian. In this case, the source uses generalized dirty paper
coding (GDPC), i.e., DPC combined with partial state cancellation, when only
the source is informed, and DPC alone when both the source and the relay are
informed. It appears that, even though it can not completely eliminate the
effect of the SI (in contrast to the case of source and relay being informed),
GDPC is particularly useful when only the source is informed.Comment: 7 pages, Proc. of IEEE International Symposium on Information theory,

Degraded Broadcast Diamond Channels with Non-Causal State Information at the Source
A state-dependent degraded broadcast diamond channel is studied where the
source-to-relays cut is modeled with two noiseless, finite-capacity digital
links with a degraded broadcasting structure, while the relays-to-destination
cut is a general multiple access channel controlled by a random state. It is
assumed that the source has non-causal channel state information and the relays
have no state information. Under this model, first, the capacity is
characterized for the case where the destination has state information, i.e.,
has access to the state sequence. It is demonstrated that in this case, a joint
message and state transmission scheme via binning is optimal. Next, the case
where the destination does not have state information, i.e., the case with
state information at the source only, is considered. For this scenario, lower
and upper bounds on the capacity are derived for the general discrete
memoryless model. Achievable rates are then computed for the case in which the
relays-to-destination cut is affected by an additive Gaussian state. Numerical
results are provided that illuminate the performance advantages that can be
accrued by leveraging non-causal state information at the source.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Feb. 201
Cooperative Strategies for Simultaneous and Broadcast Relay Channels
Consider the \emph{simultaneous relay channel} (SRC) which consists of a set
of relay channels where the source wishes to transmit common and private
information to each of the destinations. This problem is recognized as being
equivalent to that of sending common and private information to several
destinations in presence of helper relays where each channel outcome becomes a
branch of the \emph{broadcast relay channel} (BRC). Cooperative schemes and
capacity region for a set with two memoryless relay channels are investigated.
The proposed coding schemes, based on \emph{Decode-and-Forward} (DF) and
\emph{Compress-and-Forward} (CF) must be capable of transmitting information
simultaneously to all destinations in such set.
Depending on the quality of source-to-relay and relay-to-destination
channels, inner bounds on the capacity of the general BRC are derived. Three
cases of particular interest are considered: cooperation is based on DF
strategy for both users --referred to as DF-DF region--, cooperation is based
on CF strategy for both users --referred to as CF-CF region--, and cooperation
is based on DF strategy for one destination and CF for the other --referred to
as DF-CF region--. These results can be seen as a generalization and hence
unification of previous works. An outer-bound on the capacity of the general
BRC is also derived. Capacity results are obtained for the specific cases of
semi-degraded and degraded Gaussian simultaneous relay channels. Rates are
evaluated for Gaussian models where the source must guarantee a minimum amount
of information to both users while additional information is sent to each of
them.Comment: 32 pages, 7 figures, To appear in IEEE Trans. on Information Theor
Cooperative Relaying with State Available Non-Causally at the Relay
We consider a three-terminal state-dependent relay channel with the channel
state noncausally available at only the relay. Such a model may be useful for
designing cooperative wireless networks with some terminals equipped with
cognition capabilities, i.e., the relay in our setup. In the discrete
memoryless (DM) case, we establish lower and upper bounds on channel capacity.
The lower bound is obtained by a coding scheme at the relay that uses a
combination of codeword splitting, Gel'fand-Pinsker binning, and
decode-and-forward relaying. The upper bound improves upon that obtained by
assuming that the channel state is available at the source, the relay, and the
destination. For the Gaussian case, we also derive lower and upper bounds on
the capacity. The lower bound is obtained by a coding scheme at the relay that
uses a combination of codeword splitting, generalized dirty paper coding, and
decode-and-forward relaying; the upper bound is also better than that obtained
by assuming that the channel state is available at the source, the relay, and
the destination. In the case of degraded Gaussian channels, the lower bound
meets with the upper bound for some special cases, and, so, the capacity is
obtained for these cases. Furthermore, in the Gaussian case, we also extend the
results to the case in which the relay operates in a half-duplex mode.Comment: 62 pages. To appear in IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
Bounds on the Capacity of the Relay Channel with Noncausal State 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 is
caused by the relay's not knowing the channel state. For the discrete
memoryless (DM) model, we establish two lower bounds and an upper bound on
channel capacity. The first lower bound is obtained by a coding scheme in which
the source describes the state of the channel to the relay and destination,
which then exploit the gained description for a better communication of the
source's information message. The coding scheme for the second lower bound
remedies the relay's not knowing the states of the channel by first computing,
at the source, the appropriate input that the relay would send had the relay
known the states of the channel, and then transmitting this appropriate input
to the relay. The relay simply guesses the sent input and sends it in the next
block. The upper bound is non trivial and it accounts for not knowing the state
at the relay and destination. For the general Gaussian model, we derive lower
bounds on the channel capacity by exploiting ideas in the spirit of those we
use for the DM model; and we show that these bounds are optimal for small and
large noise at the relay irrespective to the strength of the interference.
Furthermore, we also consider a special case model in which the source input
has two components one of which is independent of the state. We establish a
better upper bound for both DM and Gaussian cases and we also characterize the
capacity in a number of special cases.Comment: Submitted to the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 54 pages, 6
