We study a special class of diamond channels which was introduced by Schein in 2001. In
this special class, each diamond channel consists of a transmitter, a noisy relay, a noiseless
relay and a receiver. We prove the capacity of this class of diamond channels by providing
an achievable scheme and a converse. The capacity we show is strictly smaller than the cut-
set bound. Our result also shows the optimality of a combination of decode-and-forward
(DAF) and compress-and-forward (CAF) at the noisy relay node. This is the first example …
We study a special class of diamond channels which was introduced by Schein in 2001. In this special class, each diamond channel consists of a transmitter, a noisy relay, a noiseless relay and a receiver. We prove the capacity of this class of diamond channels by providing an achievable scheme and a converse. The capacity we show is strictly smaller than the cut-set bound. Our result also shows the optimality of a combination of decode-and-forward (DAF) and compress-and-forward (CAF) at the noisy relay node. This is the first example where a combination of DAF and CAF is shown to be capacity achieving. Finally, we note that there exists a duality between this diamond channel coding problem and the Kaspi-Berger source coding problem.
