TL;DR: This two-part paper derives necessary and sufficient conditions that characterize the capacity value and the capacity-achieving measure for continuous-alphabet channels with side information at the receiver and establishes novel necessary andsufficient conditions for weak* continuity and strict concavity of the mutual information.
Abstract: Capacity analysis for channels with side information at the receiver has been an active area of interest. This problem is well investigated for the case of finite-alphabet channels. However, the results are not easily generalizable to the case of continuous-alphabet channels due to analytical difficulties inherent with continuous alphabets. In the first part of this two-part paper, we address an analytical framework for capacity analysis of continuous alphabet channels with side information at the receiver. For this purpose, we establish novel necessary and sufficient conditions for weak* continuity and strict concavity of the mutual information. These conditions are used in investigating the existence and uniqueness of the capacity-achieving measures. Furthermore, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions that characterize the capacity value and the capacity-achieving measure for continuous-alphabet channels with side information at the receiver.

TL;DR: In this second part of this two-part paper, the capacity analysis for wireless mobile systems with multiple-antenna architectures is considered and the results are applicable to both Rayleigh and Rician fading channels in the presence of arbitrary line-of-sight and correlation profiles.
Abstract: In this second part of our two-part paper, we consider the capacity analysis for wireless mobile systems with multiple-antenna architectures. We apply the results of the first part to a commonly known baseband, discrete-time multiple-antenna system where both the transmitter and receiver know the channel's statistical law. We analyze the capacity for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels, fading channels with full channel state information (CSI) at the receiver, fading channels with no CSI, and fading channels with partial CSI at the receiver. For each type of channels, we study the capacity value as well as issues such as the existence, uniqueness, and characterization of the capacity-achieving measures for different types of moment constraints. The results are applicable to both Rayleigh and Rician fading channels in the presence of arbitrary line-of-sight and correlation profiles.
