Relay channel

Relay channel

In information theory, a relay channel is a probability model on the communication between a sender and a receiver aided by one or more intermediate relay nodes. It is a combination of the broadcast channel (from sender to relays and receiver) and multiple access channel (from sender and relays to receiver).

General discrete-time memoryless relay channel

A discrete memoryless single-relay channel can be modelled as four finite sets, X_1, X_2, Y_1, and Y, and a conditional probability distribution p(y,y_1|x_1,x_2) on these sets. The probability distribution of the choice of symbols selected by the encoder and the relay encoder is represented by p(x_1,x_2).

Degraded relay channel

Such a relay channel is said to be degraded if "y" depends on x_1 only through y_1 and x_2, i.e., p(y | x_1, x_2, y_1) = p(y | x_2, y_1).
