The problem of designing new physical-layer network coding (PNC) schemes via lattice partitions is considered. Building on a recent work by Nazer and Gastpar, who demonstrated its asymptotic gain using information-theoretic tools, we take an algebraic approach to show potential in non-asymptotic settings. We first relate Nazer-Gastpar's the fundamental theorem finitely generated modules over principle ideal domain. Based this connection, generalize their code construction simplify encoding...

A conditionally Gaussian channel is a vector in which the output, given input, has distribution with (well-behaved) input-dependent mean and covariance. We study capacity-achieving probability measure for channels subject to bounded-input constraints average cost constraints. Many practical communication systems, including additive noise channels, certain optical fading interference fall within this framework. Subject constraint (and constraints), we show that capacity achievable derive...
