TLDR
This paper presents a coding scheme that exploits the feedback to achieve considerable reductions in coding and decoding complexity and delay over what would be needed for comparable performance with the best known (simplex) codes for the one-way channel.
Abstract
In some communication problems, it is a good assumption that the channel consists of an additive white Gaussian noise forward link and an essentially noiseless feedback link. In this paper, we study channels where no bandwidth constraint is placed on the transmitted signals. Such channels arise in space communications. It is known that the availability of the feedback link cannot increase the channel capacity of the noisy forward link, but it can considerably reduce the coding effort required to achieve a given level of performance. We present a coding scheme that exploits the feedback to achieve considerable reductions in coding and decoding complexity and delay over what would be needed for comparable performance with the best known (simplex) codes for the one-way channel. Our scheme, which was motivated by the Robbins-Monro stochastic approximation technique, can also be used over channels where the additive noise is not Gaussian but is still independent from instant to instant. An extension of the scheme for channels with limited signal bandwidth is presented in a companion paper (Part II).

The Necessity and Sufficiency of Anytime Capacity for Stabilization of a Linear System Over a Noisy Communication Link—Part I: Scalar Systems

TL;DR: In cases of sufficiently rich information patterns between the encoder and decoder, adequate anytime capacity is shown to be sufficient for there to exist a stabilizing controller and this result is generalized to cases with noisy observations, delayed control actions, and without any explicit feedback between the observer and the controller.

When bode meets shannon: control-oriented feedback communication schemes

TL;DR: A general equivalence is shown between feedback stabilization through an analog communication channel, and a communication scheme based on feedback which is a generalization of that of Schalkwijk and Kailath, which shows that the achievable transmission rate is given by the Bode's sensitivity integral formula.

The zero error capacity of a noisy channel

TL;DR: It is shown that while the ordinary capacity of a memoryless channel with feedback is equal to that of the same channel without feedback, the zero error capacity may be greater and a solution is given to the problem of evaluating C_oF.
