When is compress-and-forward optimal?

TL;DR: Why a combination of DF and CF is optimal for the network and its capacity is given by a simple expression is discussed, which generalizes to a certain class of tree networks with an arbitrary number of nodes consisting of multiple cascaded diamond relay networks.

Spectral Efficiency and Relay Energy Efficiency of Full-Duplex Relay Channel

TL;DR: This paper investigates the relationship among SE, REE, and system design by taking into account the effect of RSI for a general class of cooperation schemes by studying bounds on the SE of full-duplex relay channel with decode-forward (DF) relaying, compress- forward (CF) relays, and amplify-forward [AF] relaying in the presence of R SI.

Symmetric Capacity of the Gaussian Interference Channel With an Out-of-Band Relay to Within 1.15 Bits

TL;DR: In this paper, a symmetric Gaussian interference channel with an out-of-band relay channel (OBRC) was studied and the sum capacity of this channel was established for all possible channel parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generalized Signal Alignment: On the Achievable DoF for Multi-User MIMO Two-Way Relay Channels

TL;DR: A new transmission framework, generalized signal alignment (GSA), is proposed, which is to form network-coded symbols by aligning every pair of signals to be exchanged in a compressed subspace at the relay.
Journal Article

Sawtooth Relaying

TL;DR: This work considers the three-node AWGN relay channel with a memoryless relay with a single-variable deterministic mapping, and proposes to use a "modulo function" or a "triangular function" to implement the mapping at the relay.

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.
