Abstract :
In this paper, we propose to use Brownian motions to formulate continuous-time multiuser Gaussian networks and derive the capacity regions of a continuous-time white Gaussian multiple access channel with/without feedback, a continuous-time white Gaussian interference channel without feedback and a continuous-time white Gaussian broadcast channel without feedback. These “complete” results stand in stark contrast to the status quo of network information theory in discrete-time, where the capacity regions of the all the above-mentioned channels are known only for a handful of special scenarios. For certain cases, our results echo, from a different perspective, the folklore that “a continuous-time channel is the limit of bandwidth limited discrete-time ones as the bandwidth tends to infinity”.
