A delay-constrained general achievable rate and certain capacity results for UWB relay channel

In this paper, we derive UWB version of (i) general best achievable rate for the relay channel with decode-and-forward strategy and (ii) max-flow min-cut upper bound, such that the UWB relay channel can be studied considering the obtained lower and upper bounds. Then, we show that by appropriately choosing the noise correlation coefficients, our new upper bound coincides with the lower bound in special cases of degraded and reversely degraded UWB relay channels. Finally, some numerical results are illustrated.
