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,
