Research Objective: This paper aims to determine the exact error and strong converse exponents of shared randomness-assisted channel simulation in worst-case total-variation distance.
Methodology: The authors derive the error and strong converse exponents by asymptotically expanding the meta-converse for channel simulation, which corresponds to non-signaling assisted codes. They then connect the non-signaling and randomness-assisted scenarios via rounding techniques. The lower bound to the non-signaling error exponent is derived via Markov’s inequality, while the upper bound relies on the de Finetti reduction and the method of types. The lower bound to the non-signaling strong converse exponent is based on the Chernoff bound, while the upper bound relies on the method of types and certain continuity arguments.
Key Findings: The error and strong converse exponents for shared randomness-assisted channel simulation can be written as simple optimizations over the R´enyi channel mutual information. These exponents remain unchanged whether the shared resources between the sender and receiver consist of classical randomness or a potent non-signaling resource, including unlimited shared entanglement in quantum theory.
Main Conclusions: The study provides a tight characterization of the error and strong converse exponents for arbitrary rates below and above the simulation capacity, demonstrating that there are no critical rates, unlike in channel coding. The findings highlight the significant role of R´enyi channel mutual information in channel simulation and the robustness of shared randomness as a resource.
Significance: This research significantly contributes to the field of information theory, particularly in understanding the limits of communication systems and the role of shared randomness in channel simulation. The findings have implications for designing efficient communication protocols and understanding the fundamental limits of information transmission.
Limitations and Future Research: The paper focuses on the asymptotic regime of large blocklengths. Further research could explore the finite blocklength regime and investigate the impact of practical constraints on the achievable exponents. Additionally, exploring the implications of these findings for specific communication scenarios and applications could be a promising direction for future work.
