摘要:
Shannon's classic source and channel coding theorems proved that random codes are optimal for point-to-point communication systems. However, in network communication systems, random codes are not always optimal. For example, Korner and Marton first showed in 1979 that low-complexity structured (e.g., linear) coding beats the best known random coding scheme for the binary two-help-one source coding problem. This has led to much recent focus on the performance gains of structured (e.g., lattice) codes over random codes in multiterminal settings. In this talk, we advocate a hybrid random-structured coding approach for network communications. Our hybrid approach brings together the best of two different worlds of random coding and structured coding. It is inspired by Ahlswede and Han's scheme for the general two-help-one source coding problem. We apply hybrid random-structured coding to the Gaussian two-help-one problem. Together with a new lower bound, we are able to provide for the first time partial sum-rate tightness result. We additionally show that hybrid random-structured coding performs within two b/s from the optimal sum-rate.
