Sum-rate conjecture for the binary skew-symmetric broadcast channel
Sum-rate conjecture for the binary skew-symmetric broadcast channel
Let be auxiliary random variables and let be the input and outputs of the binary skew-symmetric channel with , such that is a Markov chain. Sum-rate conjecture. The following inequality holds:
If true, this conjecture would bound the sum rate of the Márton inner bound by approximately , while the evaluated outer bound has maximum sum rate approximately . Thus it would establish that the inner and outer bounds are not tight for the binary skew-symmetric channel.
