Abstract
The problem of reliably reconstructing a function of sources over a multiple-access channel (MAC) is revisited by considering channel feedback. First, a linear feedback scheme is proposed to compute the average of the Gaussian sources transmitted over the Gaussian MAC. Next, numerical results show that in some cases, our proposed scheme performs better than the existing ones without using channel feedback. Finally, we show that with a slight modification, our scheme can be directly extended to compute any linear function of the Gaussian sources transmitted over the Gaussian MAC.
