Channel Coding with Cost Paid on Delivery

抄録

<p>In the source coding problem with cost constraint, a cost function is defined over the code alphabet. This can be regarded as a noiseless channel coding problem with cost constraint. In this case, we will not distinguish between the input alphabet and the output alphabet of the channel. However, we must distinguish them for a noisy channel. In the channel coding problem with cost constraint so far, the cost function is defined over the input alphabet of the noisy channel. In this paper, we define the cost function over the output alphabet of the channel. And, the cost is paid only after the received word is observed. Note that the cost is a random variable even if the codeword is fixed. We show the channel capacity with cost constraint defined over the output alphabet. Moreover, we generalize it to tolerate some decoding error and some cost overrun. Finally, we show that the cost constraint can be described on a subset of arbitrary set which may have no structure.</p>
