A Class of Three-Receiver Broadcast Channels with Degraded Message Sets and Side Information

Abstract EN

We study a class of three-receiver discrete memoryless broadcast channel (DM-BC) with three degraded message sets and side information.

We derive achievable rate region for this three-receive DM-BC with side information noncausally available at the transmitter.

When the receivers follow a degradedness order, we determine the perfect secrecy capacity region of this class of three-receiver DM-BC with three degraded message sets and side information noncausally available at both the transmitter and the receiver.

The achievable secrecy region of this paper subsumes Steinberg’s rate region for two-receiver degraded BC with the side information and the secrecy capacity region for one-receiver two-eavesdropper DM-BC with no side information as its special cases.
