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

Channel with States at the Source
We consider a state-dependent three-terminal full-duplex relay channel with the channel states noncausally available at only the source, that is, neither at the relay nor at the destination. This model has application to cooperation over certain wireless channels with asymmetric cognition capabilities and cognitive interference relay channels. We establish lower bounds on the channel capacity for both discrete memoryless (DM) and Gaussian cases. For the DM case, the coding scheme for the lower bound uses techniques of rate-splitting at the source, decode-and-forward (DF) relaying, and a Gel'fand-Pinsker-like binning scheme. In this coding scheme, the relay decodes only partially the information sent by the source. Due to the rate-splitting, this lower bound is better than the one obtained by assuming that the relay decodes all the information from the source, that is, full-DF. For the Gaussian case, we consider channel models in which each of the relay node and the destination node experiences on its link an additive Gaussian outside interference. We first focus on the case in which the links to the relay and to the destination are corrupted by the same interference; and then we focus on the case of independent interferences. We also discuss a model with correlated interferences. For each of the first two models, we establish a lower bound on the channel capacity. The coding schemes for the lower bounds use techniques of dirty paper coding or carbon copying onto dirty paper, interference reduction at the source and decode-and-forward relaying. The results reveal that, by opposition to carbon copying onto dirty paper and its root Costa's initial dirty paper coding (DPC), it may be beneficial in our setup that the informed source uses a part of its power to partially cancel the effect of the interference so that the uninformed relay benefits from this cancellation, and so the source benefits in turn
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

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
Transmit Signal and Bandwidth Optimization in Multiple-Antenna Relay Channels
Transmit signal and bandwidth optimization is considered in multiple-antenna
relay channels. Assuming all terminals have channel state information, the
cut-set capacity upper bound and decode-and-forward rate under full-duplex
relaying are evaluated by formulating them as convex optimization problems. For
half-duplex relays, bandwidth allocation and transmit signals are optimized
jointly. Moreover, achievable rates based on the compress-and-forward
transmission strategy are presented using rate-distortion and Wyner-Ziv
compression schemes. It is observed that when the relay is close to the source,
decode-and-forward is almost optimal, whereas compress-and-forward achieves
good performance when the relay is close to the destination.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figure
The Degraded Gaussian Diamond-Wiretap Channel
In this paper, we present nontrivial upper and lower bounds on the secrecy
capacity of the degraded Gaussian diamond-wiretap channel and identify several
ranges of channel parameters where these bounds coincide with useful
intuitions. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of the presence of an
eavesdropper on the capacity. We consider the following two scenarios regarding
the availability of randomness: 1) a common randomness is available at the
source and the two relays and 2) a randomness is available only at the source
and there is no available randomness at the relays. We obtain the upper bound
by taking into account the correlation between the two relay signals and the
availability of randomness at each encoder. For the lower bound, we propose two
types of coding schemes: 1) a decode-and-forward scheme where the relays
cooperatively transmit the message and the fictitious message and 2) a partial
DF scheme incorporated with multicoding in which each relay sends an
independent partial message and the whole or partial fictitious message using
dependent codewords.Comment: 26 pages, 6 figures, a short version will appear in Proc. IEEE ISIT
