Multiaccess Channels with State Known to One Encoder: Another Case of Degraded Message Sets
We consider a two-user state-dependent multiaccess channel in which only one
of the encoders is informed, non-causally, of the channel states. Two
independent messages are transmitted: a common message transmitted by both the
informed and uninformed encoders, and an individual message transmitted by only
the uninformed encoder. We derive inner and outer bounds on the capacity region
of this model in the discrete memoryless case as well as the Gaussian case.
Further, we show that the bounds for the Gaussian case are tight in some
special cases.Comment: 5 pages, Proc. of IEEE International Symposium on Information theory,

Multiaccess Channels with State Known to Some Encoders and Independent Messages
We consider a state-dependent multiaccess channel (MAC) with state
non-causally known to some encoders. We derive an inner bound for the capacity
region in the general discrete memoryless case and specialize to a binary
noiseless case. In the case of maximum entropy channel state, we obtain the
capacity region for binary noiseless MAC with one informed encoder by deriving
a non-trivial outer bound for this case. For a Gaussian state-dependent MAC
with one encoder being informed of the channel state, we present an inner bound
by applying a slightly generalized dirty paper coding (GDPC) at the informed
encoder that allows for partial state cancellation, and a trivial outer bound
by providing channel state to the decoder also. The uninformed encoders benefit
from the state cancellation in terms of achievable rates, however, appears that
GDPC cannot completely eliminate the effect of the channel state on the
achievable rate region, in contrast to the case of all encoders being informed.
In the case of infinite state variance, we analyze how the uninformed encoder
benefits from the informed encoder's actions using the inner bound and also
provide a non-trivial outer bound for this case which is better than the
trivial outer bound.Comment: Accepted to EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communication and Networking,

Lecture Notes on Network Information Theory
These lecture notes have been converted to a book titled Network Information
Theory published recently by Cambridge University Press. This book provides a
significantly expanded exposition of the material in the lecture notes as well
as problems and bibliographic notes at the end of each chapter. The authors are
currently preparing a set of slides based on the book that will be posted in
the second half of 2012. More information about the book can be found at

the lecture notes can be found at http://arxiv.org/abs/1001.3404v4/
On Cooperative Multiple Access Channels with Delayed CSI at Transmitters
We consider a cooperative two-user multiaccess channel in which the
transmission is controlled by a random state. Both encoders transmit a common
message and, one of the encoders also transmits an individual message. We study
the capacity region of this communication model for different degrees of
availability of the states at the encoders, causally or strictly causally. In
the case in which the states are revealed causally to both encoders but not to
the decoder we find an explicit characterization of the capacity region in the
discrete memoryless case. In the case in which the states are revealed only
strictly causally to both encoders, we establish inner and outer bounds on the
capacity region. The outer bound is non-trivial, and has a relatively simple
form. It has the advantage of incorporating only one auxiliary random variable.
We then introduce a class of cooperative multiaccess channels with states known
strictly causally at both encoders for which the inner and outer bounds agree;
and so we characterize the capacity region for this class. In this class of
channels, the state can be obtained as a deterministic function of the channel
inputs and output. We also study the model in which the states are revealed,
strictly causally, in an asymmetric manner, to only one encoder. Throughout the
paper, we discuss a number of examples; and compute the capacity region of some
of these examples. The results shed more light on the utility of delayed
channel state information for increasing the capacity region of state-dependent
cooperative multiaccess channels; and tie with recent progress in this
framework.Comment: 54 pages. To appear in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. arXiv
