Abstract

This paper presents a converse establishing the capacity region of the binary multiplying channel (BMC). Blackwell’s BMC is a deterministic two-way channel (TWC) defined [1] by Y1=Y2=Y=X1X2, where X1 and X2 are the binary input variables, and Y1=Y2=Y is the common binary output variable. The BMC is. thus an AND-gate.
