Assisted Identification over Modulo-Additive Noise Channels

Entropy (Basel). 2023 Sep 8;25(9):1314. doi: 10.3390/e25091314.

Abstract

The gain in the identification capacity afforded by a rate-limited description of the noise sequence corrupting a modulo-additive noise channel is studied. Both the classical Ahlswede-Dueck version and the Ahlswede-Cai-Ning-Zhang version, which does not allow for missed identifications, are studied. Irrespective of whether the description is provided to the receiver, to the transmitter, or to both, the two capacities coincide and both equal the helper-assisted Shannon capacity.

Keywords: erasures-only capacity; helper; identification capacity; modulo-additive noise; rate-limited; zero-undetected-error capacity.
