Title
Capacity bounds for a class of diamond networks
Abstract
A class of diamond networks is studied where the broadcast component is modelled by two independent bit-pipes. New upper and lower bounds are derived on the capacity which improve previous bounds. The upper bound is in the form of a max-min problem, where the maximization is over a coding distribution and the minimization is over an auxiliary channel. The proof technique generalizes bounding techniques of Ozarow for the Gaussian multiple description problem (1981) and Kang and Liu for the Gaussian diamond network (2011). The bounds are evaluated for a Gaussian multiple access channel (MAC) and the binary adder MAC, and the capacity is found for interesting ranges of the bit-pipe capacities.
