We derive the capacity region of the Gaussian version of Willemss two-user MAC with conferencing encoders. This setting differs from the classical MAC in that, prior to each transmission block, the two transmitters can communicate with each other over noise-free bit-pipes of given capacities. The derivation requires a new technique for proving the optimality of Gaussian input distributions in certain mutual information maximizations under a Markov constraint. We also consider a Costa-type extension of the Gaussian MAC with conferencing encoders. In this extension, the channel can be described as a two-user MAC with Gaussian noise and Gaussian interference where the interference is known non-causally to the encoders but not to the decoder. We show that as in Costas setting the interference sequence can be perfectly canceled, i.e., that the capacity region without interference can be achieved.

In this paper, code pairs based on trellis coded modulation are proposed over PSK signal sets for a two-user Gaussian multiple access channel. In order to provide unique decodability property to the receiver and to maximally enlarge the constellation constrained (CC) capacity region, a relative angle of rotation is introduced between the signal sets. Subsequently, the structure of the textit{sum alphabet} of two PSK signal sets is exploited to prove that Ungerboeck labelling on the trellis of each user maximizes the guaranteed minimum squared Euclidean distance, $d^{2}_{g, min}$ in the textit{sum trellis}. Hence, such a labelling scheme can be used systematically to construct trellis code pairs for a two-user GMAC to approach emph{any rate pair} within the capacity region.
We propose an improvement of the random spreading approach with polar codes for unsourced multiple access. Each user encodes its message by a polar code, and the coded bits are then spread using a random spreading sequence. The proposed approach divides the active users into different groups, and employs different power levels for each group in such a way that the average power constraint is satisfied. We formulate and solve an optimization problem to determine the number of groups, and the number of users and power level of each group. Extensive simulations show that the proposed approach outperforms the existing methods, especially when the number of active users is large.
The unsourced MAC model was originally introduced to study the communication scenario in which a number of devices with low-complexity and low-energy wish to upload their respective messages to a base station. In the original problem formulation, all devices communicate using the same information rate. This may be very inefficient in certain wireless situations with varied channel conditions, power budgets, and payload requirements at the devices. This paper extends the original problem setting so as to allow for such variability. More specifically, we consider the scenario in which devices are clustered into two classes, possibly with different SNR levels or distinct payload requirements. In the cluster with higher power,devices transmit using a two-layer superposition modulation. In the cluster with lower energy, users transmit with the same base constellation as in the high power cluster. Within each layer, devices employ the same codebook. At the receiver, signal groupings are recovered using Approximate Message Passing(AMP), and proceeding from the high to the low power levels using successive interference cancellation (SIC). This layered architecture is implemented using Coded Compressed Sensing(CCS) within every grouping. An outer tree code is employed to stitch fragments together across times and layers, as needed.This pragmatic approach to heterogeneous CCS is validated numerically and design guidelines are identified.
Stochastic encoders have been used in rate-distortion theory and neural compression because they can be easier to handle. However, in performance comparisons with deterministic encoders they often do worse, suggesting that noise in the encoding process may generally be a bad idea. It is poorly understood if and when stochastic encoders do better than deterministic encoders. In this paper we provide one illustrative example which shows that stochastic encoders can significantly outperform the best deterministic encoders. Our toy example suggests that stochastic encoders may be particularly useful in the regime of perfect perceptual quality.
We consider the problem of decentralized sequential active hypothesis testing (DSAHT), where two transmitting agents, each possessing a private message, are actively helping a third agent--and each other--to learn the message pair over a discrete memoryless multiple access channel (DM-MAC). The third agent (receiver) observes the noisy channel output, which is also available to the transmitting agents via noiseless feedback. We formulate this problem as a decentralized dynamic team, show that optimal transmission policies have a time-invariant domain, and characterize the solution through a dynamic program. Several alternative formulations are discussed involving time-homogenous cost functions and/or variable-length codes, resulting in solutions described through fixed-point, Bellman-type equations. Subsequently, we make connections with the problem of simplifying the multi-letter capacity expressions for the noiseless feedback capacity of the DM-MAC. We show that restricting attention to distributions induced by optimal transmission schemes for the DSAHT problem, without loss of optimality, transforms the capacity expression, so that it can be thought of as the average reward received by an appropriately defined stochastic dynamical system with time-invariant state space.
