On "Dirty-Paper coding"

Abstract

Dirty-paper coding makes an analogy to the problem of writing on dirty paper, where the reader cannot nominally distinguish dirt from ink. There are many scenarios where this result may be applied. In the field of information hiding (or watermarking), theoretical bounds as well as practical watermarking schemes have been found. Another important application of dirty-paper coding is for a multiuser channel wherein a multiple-antenna transmitter is communicating with multiple users.
