Chapter 16: The General Broadcast Channel

Learning Objectives

• Derive Marton's inner bound for the general broadcast channel using superposition coding and binning
• State the Nair-El Gamal outer bound and identify when it matches the inner bound
• Prove that dirty-paper coding achieves the capacity region of the Gaussian MIMO broadcast channel
• Establish the MAC-BC duality and use it for computational capacity region characterization
• Formulate and solve the sum-rate maximization problem for the MIMO BC via iterative algorithms
