Generalized Backward Decoding Strategies for the Relay Channel

TL;DR: Two new generalized strategies superimposing cooperation and facilitation are introduced and investigated on the general relay channel and give higher achievable rates than the generalized strategy of Cover and El Gamal for certain parameters on the Gaussian relay channel.

Approximately Achieving Gaussian Relay Network Capacity With Lattice-Based QMF Codes

TL;DR: The main result of this paper is that such structured lattice codes can approximately achieve the Gaussian relay network capacity universally, again within an additive constant.

OPRA: Optimal Relay Assignment for Capacity Maximization in Cooperative Networks

TL;DR: An optimal relay assignment algorithm to solve the problem of relay assignment in cooperative networks, where multiple source-destination transmission pairs share the same set of relay nodes is developed and it is shown that the algorithm has several attractive properties.

Cooperative diversity by relay phase rotations in block fading environments

TL;DR: This work considers a wireless network with one source/destination pair and several linear amplify-and-forward relays and proposes time-variant and relay specific phase rotations induced at each relay to make the effective channel time- Variant.

Capacity-Optimized Topology Control for MANETs with Cooperative Communications

TL;DR: A novel Capacity-Optimized COoperative (COCO) topology control scheme for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) with cooperative communications that considers both upper layer network capacity and physical layer relay selections in the proposed scheme.

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.
