VMath - The Next Generation for Math Lectures on Streaming Video

Abstract:

I will first describe the historical context of the work I did on the relay channel in the period 1965-1968. Then I will present the main results of my 1968 Berkeley Ph.D. thesis and my 1971 article in the Advances of Applied Probability. I will put these early results in perspective with the more advanced results obtained later by other authors. Next I will present some results, obtained around 1990, on the deterministic relay channel concerning capacity calculation and code construction. I will conclude with a discussion of the almost Gaussian degraded relay channel.
