On the capacity of memoryless finite-state multiple-access channels with asymmetric state information at the encoders

Como, Giacomo LU and Yüksel, Serdar (2011) In IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 57(3). p.1267-1273
Abstract

A single-letter characterization is provided for the capacity region of finite-state multiple-access channels, when the channel state process is an independent and identically distributed sequence, the transmitters have access to partial (quantized) state information, and complete channel state information is available at the receiver. The partial channel state information is assumed to be asymmetric at the encoders. As a main contribution, a tight converse coding theorem is presented. The difficulties associated with the case when the channel state has memory are discussed and connections to decentralized stochastic control theory are presented.
