Abstract

We investigate the Gaussian relay channel where the additive noises at the relay and destination are correlated. We obtain achievable rates for the compress-and-forward and decode-and-forward relaying strategies, and compare them to each other and to the capacity upper bound. We show that neither scheme is uniformly best over all channel gains and correlation coefficients. We also derive specific relationships between the channel gains and noise correlations for which one of these schemes is capacity-achieving, thereby increasing the class of relay channels for which capacity is known.
