Dirty paper coding
In telecommunications, dirty paper coding (DPC) is a technique for efficient transmission of digital data through a channel subjected to some interference known to the transmitter. The technique consists of precoding the data in order to cancel the effect caused by the interference.
Dirty-paper coding achieves the channel capacity, without power penalty and without requiring the receiver to gain knowledge of the interference state.
Note that DPC at the encoder is an information-theoretic dual of Wyner-Ziv coding at the decoder [citation needed].
History
Instances of dirty paper coding include Costa precoding (1983).[1] Suboptimal approximations of dirty paper coding include Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (1971) [2][3] and the vector perturbation technique of Hochwald et al. (2005).[4]
Design considerations
DPC and DPC-like techniques requires knowledge of the interference state in a non causal manner, such as channel state information of all users and other user data. Hence, the design of a DPC-based system should include a procedure to feed side information to the transmitters.
Applications
In 2003, Caire and Shamai [5] applied DPC to the multi-antenna multi-user downlink, which is referred to as the 'broadcast channel' by information theorists. Since then, there has been widespread use of DPC in wireless networks[6] and into an interference aware coding technique for dynamic wireless networks.[7]
Recently, DPC has also been used for "informed digital watermarking".
