Abstract:

The idea of increasing achievable rates in point-to-point channels with relaying has been known for decades. The use of relay in multiple destinations problems has invoked a great interest, recently. Broadcast relay channels are communication networks where a source node transmits information to a number of destination nodes with the help of a relay node. These channels model “downlink” communication systems that incorporate relaying.

In this talk, we will consider compress-and-forward type relaying techniques for broadcast relay channels. We will illustrate how relay processing and decoding steps at the destinations affect achievable rate regions. The results will provide valuable insights for new design principles for more general networks.
