Abstract

The feedback coding problem for Gaussian systems in which the noise is neither white nor statistically independent between channels is formulated in terms of arbitrary linear codes at the transmitter and at the receiver. This new formulation is used to determine a number of feedback communication systems. In particular, the optimum linear code that satisfies an average power constraint on the transmitted signals is derived for a system with noiseless feedback and forward noise of arbitrary covariance. The noisy feedback problem is considered and signal sets for the forward and feedback channels are obtained with an average power constraint on each. The general formulation and results are valid for non-Gaussian systems in which the second order statistics are known, the results being applicable to the determination of error bounds via the Chebychev inequality.
