On Capacity of the Dirty Paper Channel with Fading Dirt in the Strong Fading Regime
The classical writing on dirty paper capacity result establishes that full
interference pre-cancellation can be attained in Gelfand-Pinsker problem with
additive state and additive white Gaussian noise. This result holds under the
idealized assumption that perfect channel knowledge is available at both
transmitter and receiver. While channel knowledge at the receiver can be
obtained through pilot tones, transmitter channel knowledge is harder to
acquire. For this reason, we are interested in characterizing the capacity
under the more realistic assumption that only partial channel knowledge is
available at the transmitter. We study, more specifically, the dirty paper
channel in which the interference sequence in multiplied by fading value
unknown to the transmitter but known at the receiver. For this model, we
establish an approximate characterization of capacity for the case in which
fading values vary greatly in between channel realizations. In this regime,
which we term the strong fading regime, the capacity pre-log factor is equal to
the inverse of the number of possible fading realizations
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

A Note on the Secrecy Capacity of the Multi-antenna Wiretap Channel
Recently, the secrecy capacity of the multi-antenna wiretap channel was
characterized by Khisti and Wornell [1] using a Sato-like argument. This note
presents an alternative characterization using a channel enhancement argument.
This characterization relies on an extremal entropy inequality recently proved
in the context of multi-antenna broadcast channels, and is directly built on
the physical intuition regarding to the optimal transmission strategy in this
communication scenario.Comment: 10 pages, 0 figure
