This paper adds to the understanding of the capacity region of the Gaussian interference channel. To this end, the capacity region of the one-sided Gaussian interference channel is first fully characterized. This is accomplished by introducing a new representation of the Han-Kobayashi region and providing a new outer bound on the capacity region of this channel which is tight both in the weak a...

The main question addressed in this paper is the problem of maximizing the ”transport capacity” of a broadcast network in a Gaussian power-law channel, where by transport capacity we mean a quantity akin to the bandwidth-distance product as used in [6]. In the process of addressing this issue we also derive a transportcapacity maximizing resource allocation scheme for a general set of reward an...

Lattice coding and decoding have been shown to achieve the capacity of the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. This was accomplished using a minimum mean-square error scaling and randomization to transform the AWGN channel into a modulo-lattice additive noise channel of the same capacity. It has been further shown that when operating at rates below capacity but above the critical rate...

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the use of CDMA in mobile communications. Bit error rate is one of the most important parameters in the evaluation of CDMA systems. In this paper, we develop a technique to find an accurate approximation to the probability of bit error for asynchronous direct–sequence code division multiple–access (DS/CDMA) systems by modeling the multipl...

We show that the minimum output entropy for all single-mode Gaussian channels is additive and is attained for Gaussian inputs. This allows the derivation of the channel capacity for a number of Gaussian channels, including that of the channel with linear loss, thermal noise, and linear amplification.

In this paper, we investigate the capacity problem of Gaussian fading multiple access relay channel with orthogonal components from the senders to the relay receiver and from the senders and relay to the receiver. This model is motivated by the practical constraint that a node cannot send and receive at the same time or in the same frequency band. We derive a capacity region for the model where...

A closed-form expression for the capacity of an array of correlated Gaussian channels is derived. It is shown that when signal and noise are independent, the array of observables can be replaced with a single observable without diminishing the capacity of the array channel. Examples are provided to illustrate the dependence of channel capacity on noise correlation for twoand three-channel arrays.

Characterizing probability distribution function for the input of a communication channel that achieves the maximum possible data rate, is one of the most fundamental problems in the field of information theory. In his ground-breaking paper, Shannon showed that the capacity of a point-to-point additive white Gaussian noise channel under an average power constraint at the input, is achieved by G...

We show that the extrinsic information about the coded bits of any good (capacity achieving) binary code operating over a Gaussian channel is zero when the channel capacity is lower than the code rate and unity when capacity exceeds the code rate, that is, the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart is a step function of the signal to noise ratio and independent of the code. It follows that...
