Broadcast-relay channel: capacity region bounds

Abstract

We consider the broadcast-relay channel: a broadcast channel where receivers are permitted to assist in the distribution of data to other receivers by relaying. We extend the previous results and demonstrate that effective transmission strategies can be derived by combining well-known techniques for broadcast and relay channels. Additionally, we derive new outer bounds to capacity regions
