Joint Source-Channel Coding over a Fading Multiple Access Channel with Partial Channel State Information
In this paper we address the problem of transmission of correlated sources
over a fast fading multiple access channel (MAC) with partial channel state
information available at both the encoders and the decoder. We provide
sufficient conditions for transmission with given distortions. Next these
conditions are specialized to a Gaussian MAC (GMAC). We provide the optimal
power allocation strategy and compare the strategy with various levels of
channel state information.

On the capacity of memoryless finite-state multiple-access channels with asymmetric state information at the encoders
A single-letter characterization is provided for the capacity region of
finite-state multiple-access channels, when the channel state process is an
independent and identically distributed sequence, the transmitters have access
to partial (quantized) state information, and complete channel state
information is available at the receiver. The partial channel state information
is assumed to be asymmetric at the encoders. As a main contribution, a tight
converse coding theorem is presented. The difficulties associated with the case
when the channel state has memory are discussed and connections to
decentralized stochastic control theory are presented.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication, in pres
