On the Common Randomness Capacity of a Special Class of Two-way Channels

Abstract: In this paper, we would like to study the common randomness (CR) capacity of intertwined two-way channels, namely those whose marginal channel transition probabilities depends also on the signal they transmit. We bring a few special settings and provide constructive schemes with which the two nodes can agree upon a common randomness. We then provide an outer bound on the CR capacity of intertwined receiver-decomposable (RD) two-way channel and will provide a bound on the cardinality of the available auxiliary variables. We will also show this outer bound is bounded above by Venkatesan-Anantharam CR capacity which makes it tight for decomposing two-way setting.
