In relay channels, the sender sends a message to the relay and the receiver, the relay encodes the channel output again and forwards it to the receiver, and the receiver decodes the message from the channel output. This paper deals with the universal coding problem for relay channels. First, we propose two new decoders based on the maximum mutual information decoder and show the existence of a universal code for relay channels by combining the proposed decoders and the coding scheme obtained by Cover and El Gamal. Second, we clarify the condition that the probability of error for each decoder decreases exponentially as the block length tends to infinity. Finally, we prove that the proposed universal code achieves the capacity of the degraded relay channel.","PeriodicalId":194674,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130629541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that for source coding of an i.i.d. Gaussian source, restriction of the codebook to a union of subspaces need not induce any performance penalty. In fact, in N-dimensional space, a two-stage quantization of first projecting to the nearest of J subspaces of dimension K in a random first-stage codebook of subspaces, followed by quantizing to the nearest of codewords in a second-stage codebook within the K-dimensional subspace induces no performance loss. This structure allows the rate-distortion bound to be approached asymptotically with block length N. The dual results for channel coding are explicitly described: for an additive white Gaussian noise channel, we introduce a particular subspace-based codebook that induces no rate loss, and the Shannon capacity is achieved. While this has complexity exponential in N, it is reduced from an unstructured search.","PeriodicalId":194674,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130876012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A PIC group decoding decodes the symbols embedded in an STBC by dividing them into several groups and decoding each group separately after a linear PIC operation is implemented. It can be viewed as an intermediate decoding between the maximum likelihood (ML) receiver that decodes all the embedded symbols together, i.e., all embedded symbols are in a single group, and a zero-forcing (ZF) receiver that decodes all the embedded symbols separately and independently, i.e., each group has and only has one embedded symbol, after the ZF operation is implemented. The PIC group decoding provides a framework to adjust the complexity-performance tradeoff by choosing the sizes of the symbol groups. Our proposed design criterion (group independence) for the PIC group decoding to achieve full diversity is an intermediate condition between the loosest ML full rank criterion of codewords and the strongest ZF linear independence condition of the column vectors in the equivalent channel matrix. A design example is also given.","PeriodicalId":194674,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123386661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
