Error rate analysis of full-duplex relaying

TL;DR: This work conducts a bit error rate (BER) analysis of a full-duplex relaying scheme that employs binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and a single decode-and-forward relay, demostrating inferior performance as compared to the HD protocol, as well as zero diversity order due to the existence of self-interference at the relay and destination.

Design and Analysis of Relay-aided Broadcast using Binary Network Codes

TL;DR: This work considers a base-station broadcasting a set of order-insensitive packets to a user population over packet-erasure channels and proposes relay-aided transmission using instantaneously-decodable binary network coding, which has the benefits of minimal decoding delay and low complexity.

Parity Forwarding for Multiple-Relay Networks

TL;DR: This protocol improves the previously known achievable rate of the decode-and-forward (DF) strategy for multirelay networks by allowing relays to decode only a selection of messages from relays with strong links to it.

Space-Time Communication Protocols for N-Way Relay Networks

TL;DR: This paper addresses communication protocols for N-way relay networks with M antennas at the relay and a single antenna at the N source terminals with amplify-and-forward (AF), decode-and -forward (DF), and compress-and'-forward (CF) strategies, and proposes two new relaying protocols.

Distributed Space-Frequency Coding over Broadband Relay Channels

TL;DR: The proposed DSFCs are designed to achieve the frequency and cooperative diversities of the wireless relay channels and derive sufficient conditions for the proposed code structures at the source and relay nodes to achieve full diversity of order NL.

Noiseless coding of correlated information sources

TL;DR: The minimum number of bits per character R_X and R_Y needed to encode these sequences so that they can be faithfully reproduced under a variety of assumptions regarding the encoders and decoders is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-terminal communication channels

TL;DR: A coding theorem and weak converse are proved and a necessary and sufficient condition for a positive capacity is derived and upper and lower bounds on the capacity are obtained, which coincide for channels with symmetric structure.

Source coding with side information and a converse for degraded broadcast channels

TL;DR: In Section H of the paper, a characterization of the capacity region for degraded broadcast channels (DBC's) is given, which was conjectured by Bergmans and is somewhat sharper than the one obtained by Gallager.

A proof of the data compression theorem of Slepian and Wolf for ergodic sources (Corresp.)

TL;DR: It is established that the Slepian-Wolf theorem is true without change for arbitrary ergodic processes \{(X_i,Y_i)\}_{i=1}^{\infty} and countably infinite alphabets.

On source coding with side information at the decoder

TL;DR: The characterization of the family of rate triples (R_0,R_1, R_2) for which this system can deliver essentially perfect reproductions of X and Y and the principal result is a characterization of this family via an information-theoretic minimization.
