An Achievability Scheme for the Compound Channel with State Noncausally Available at the Encoder

Abstract: A new achievability scheme for the compound channel with discrete memoryless (DM) state noncausally available at the encoder is established. Achievability is proved using superposition coding, Marton coding, joint typicality encoding, and indirect decoding. The scheme is shown to achieve strictly higher rate than the straightforward extension of the Gelfand-Pinsker coding scheme for a single DMC with DM state, and is optimal for some classes of channels.
