Abstract
State-dependent channel models with encoder channel side information (CSI) are important in a wide variety of applications including among others watermarking, cellular downlink precoding, and cognitive radio. These models involve a communications channel whose input-output relationship depends upon a time-varying random parameter called the channel state, and have been studied extensively for scenarios with a single encoder and decoder. In this talk, we review coding schemes such as dirty paper coding (DPC) and fundamental performance limits from information theory, focusing on geometric intuition where applicable. We then overview our recent results for certain wireless and multi-terminal scenarios.
Joint work with Shivaprasad Kotagiri and Wenyi Zhang.
