In the literature, it has been shown that feedback does not increase the optimal rate-distortion region of the dirty paper channel with state estimation at the receiver (SE-R). On the other hand, it is well-known that feedback helps to construct low-complexity coding schemes in Gaussian channels, such as the elegant Schalkwijk-Kailath (SK) feedback scheme. This motivates us to explore capacity-achieving SK-type schemes in dirty paper channels with SE-R and feedback. In this paper, we first propose a capacity-achieving feedback scheme for the dirty paper channel with SE-R (DPC-SE-R), which combines the superposition coding and the classical SK-type scheme. Then, we extend this scheme to the dirty paper multiple-access channel with SE-R and feedback, and also show the extended scheme is capacity-achieving. Finally, we discuss how to extend our scheme to a noisy state observation case of the DPC-SE-R. However, the capacity-achieving SK-type scheme for such a case remains unknown.

The classical Schalkwijk-Kailath (SK) scheme for the additive Gaussian noise channel with noiseless feedback is highly efficient since its coding complexity is extremely low and the decoding error doubly exponentially decays as the coding blocklength tends to infinity. However, its application to the fading channel with imperfect CSI at the transmitter (I-CSIT) is challenging since the SK scheme is sensitive to the CSI. In this paper, we investigate how to design SK-type scheme for the quasi-static fading channel with I-CSIT and quantized feedback. By introducing modulo lattice function and an auxiliary signal into the SK-type encoder-decoder of the transceiver, we show that the decoding error caused by the I-CSIT can be perfectly eliminated, resulting in the success of designing SK-type scheme for such a case. The study of this paper provides a way to design efficient coding scheme for fading channels in the presence of imperfect CSI and quantized feedback.

Linear feedback coding scheme, such as the elegant Schalkwijk-Kailath (SK) scheme, receives much attention in the literature since its decoding error probability decreases as a second-order exponential in the coding blocklength. In recent years, a linear feedback scheme has been proposed for the Gaussian relay channel (GRC) with destination-source feedback, which combines the SK scheme and the amplify-and-forward (AF) relay strategy. Since there exists three possible feedback links in the GRC, then one question beckons: is there any rate gain if there exist multiple feedback links in the GRC, and can any other relay strategy outperform the AF strategy? In this paper, we answer this question by investigating four feedback models of the GRC, namely, the GRC with destination-source and destination-relay feedback, the GRC with destination-relay and relay-source feedback, the GRC with destination-source and relay-source feedback, and the GRC with all feedback links, respectively. We propose SK-type schemes for these feedback models, and numerical examples show that when the coding blocklength is not long, the rates of our proposed schemes almost approach their asymptotic values, and these rates may be larger than those of existing schemes in the literature. The study of this paper shows that different number/location of feedback links may bring additional rate gain in finite blocklength regime.
