A partially cooperative relay broadcast channel (RBC) is a three-node network with one source node and two destination nodes (destinations 1 and 2) where destination 1 can act as a relay to assist destination 2. Inner and outer bounds on the capacity region of the discrete memoryless partially cooperative RBC are obtained. When the relay function is disabled, the inner and outer bounds reduce to new bounds on the capacity region of broadcast channels. Four classes of RBCs are studied in detail. For the partially cooperative RBC with degraded message sets, inner and outer bounds are obtained. For the semideterministic partially cooperative RBC and the orthogonal partially cooperative RBC, the capacity regions are established. For the parallel partially cooperative RBC with unmatched degraded subchannels, the capacity region is established for the case of degraded message sets. The capacity is also established when the source node has only a private message for destination 2, i.e., the channel reduces to a parallel relay channel with unmatched degraded subchannels.

Achievable rate regions for cooperative relay broadcast channels with rate-limited feedback are proposed. Specifically, we consider two-receiver memoryless broadcast channels where each receiver sends feedback signals to the transmitter through a noiseless and rate-limited feedback link, and meanwhile, acts as relay to transmit cooperative information to the other receiver. Its shown that the proposed rate regions improve on the known regions that consider either relaying cooperation or feedback communication, but not both.
The capacity regions are investigated for two relay broadcast channels (RBCs), where relay links are incorporated into standard two-user broadcast channels to support user cooperation. In the first channel, the Partially Cooperative Relay Broadcast Channel, only one user in the system can act as a relay and transmit to the other user through a relay link. An achievable rate region is derived based on the relay using the decode-and-forward scheme. An outer bound on the capacity region is derived and is shown to be tighter than the cut-set bound. For the special case where the Partially Cooperative RBC is degraded, the achievable rate region is shown to be tight and provides the capacity region. Gaussian Partially Cooperative RBCs and Partially Cooperative RBCs with feedback are further studied. In the second channel model being studied in the paper, the Fully Cooperative Relay Broadcast Channel, both users can act as relay nodes and transmit to each other through relay links. This is a more general model than the Partially Cooperative RBC. All the results for Partially Cooperative RBCs are correspondingly generalized to the Fully Cooperative RBCs. It is further shown that the AWGN Fully Cooperative RBC has a larger achievable rate region than the AWGN Partially Cooperative RBC. The results illustrate that relaying and user cooperation are powerful techniques in improving the capacity of broadcast channels.
In this paper, a class of broadcast interference channels (BIC) is investigated, where one of the two broadcast receivers is subject to interference coming from a point-to-point transmission. For a general discrete memoryless broadcast interference channel (DM-BIC), an achievable scheme based on message splitting, superposition and binning is proposed and a concise representation of the corresponding achievable rate region R is obtained. Two partial-order broadcast conditions interference-oblivious less noisy and interference-cognizant less noisy are defined, thereby extending the usual less noisy condition for a regular broadcast channel by taking interference into account. Under these conditions, a reduced form of R is shown to be equivalent to a rate region based on a simpler scheme, where the broadcast transmitter uses only superposition. Furthermore, if interference is strong for the interference-oblivious less noisy DM-BIC, the capacity region is given by the aforementioned two equivalent rate regions. For a Gaussian broadcast interference channel (GBIC), channel parameters are categorized into three regimes. For the first two regimes, which are closely related to the two partial-order broadcast conditions, achievable rate regions are derived by specializing the corresponding achievable schemes of DM-BICs with Gaussian input distributions. The entropy power inequality (EPI) based outer bounds are obtained by combining bounding techniques for a Gaussian broadcast channel (GBC) and a Gaussian interference channel (GIC). These inner and outer bounds lead to either exact or approximate characterizations of capacity regions and sum capacity under various conditions. For the remaining complementing regime, inner and outer bounds are also provided.
This paper focuses on the Layered Packet Erasure Broadcast Channel (LPE-BC) with Channel Output Feedback (COF) available at the transmitter. The LPE-BC is a high-SNR approximation of the fading Gaussian BC recently proposed by Tse and Yates, who characterized the capacity region for any number of users and any number of layers when there is no COF. This paper provides a comparative overview of this channel model along the following lines: First, inner and outer bounds to the capacity region (set of achievable rates with backlogged arrivals) are presented: a) a new outer bound based on the idea of the physically degraded broadcast channel, and b) an inner bound of the LPE-BC with COF for the case of two users and any number of layers. Next, an inner bound on the stability region (set of exogenous arrival rates for which packet arrival queues are stable) for the same model is derived. The capacity region inner bound generalizes past results for the two-user erasure BC, which is a special case of the LPE-BC with COF with only one layer. The novelty lies in the use of inter-user and inter-layer network coding retransmissions (for those packets that have only been received by the unintended user), where each random linear combination may involve packets intended for any user originally sent on any of the layers. For the case of $K = 2$ users and $Q geq 1$ layers, the inner bounds to the capacity region and the stability region coincide; both strategically employ the novel retransmission protocol. For the case of $Q = 2$ layers, sufficient conditions are derived by Fourier-Motzkin elimination for the inner bound on the stability region to coincide with the capacity outer bound, thus showing that in those cases the capacity and stability regions coincide.
Polar codes are introduced for discrete memoryless broadcast channels. For $m$-user deterministic broadcast channels, polarization is applied to map uniformly random message bits from $m$ independent messages to one codeword while satisfying broadcast constraints. The polarization-based codes achieve rates on the boundary of the private-message capacity region. For two-user noisy broadcast channels, polar implementations are presented for two information-theoretic schemes: i) Covers superposition codes; ii) Martons codes. Due to the structure of polarization, constraints on the auxiliary and channel-input distributions are identified to ensure proper alignment of polarization indices in the multi-user setting. The codes achieve rates on the capacity boundary of a few classes of broadcast channels (e.g., binary-input stochastically degraded). The complexity of encoding and decoding is $O(n*log n)$ where $n$ is the block length. In addition, polar code sequences obtain a stretched-exponential decay of $O(2^{-n^{beta}})$ of the average block error probability where $0 < beta < 0.5$.
