Capacity of Two-Way Channels With Symmetry Properties
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we make use of channel symmetry properties to determine the capacity region of three types of two-way networks: 1) two-user memoryless two-way channels (TWCs); 2) two-user TWCs with memory; and 3) three-user multiaccess/degraded broadcast (MA/DB) TWCs. For each network, symmetry conditions under which a Shannon-type random coding inner bound (under independent non-adaptive inputs) is tight are given. For two-user memoryless TWCs, prior results are substantially generalized by viewing a TWC as two interacting state-dependent one-way channels. The capacity of symmetric TWCs with memory, whose outputs are functions of the inputs and independent stationary and ergodic noise processes, is also obtained. Moreover, various channel symmetry properties under which the Shannon-type inner bound is tight are identified for three-user MA/DB TWCs. The results not only enlarge the class of symmetric TWCs whose capacity region can be exactly determined but also imply that interactive adaptive coding, not improving capacity, is unnecessary for such channels.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
