Abstract
This survey reviews fundamental concepts of multi-user information theory. Starting with typical sequences, the survey builds
up knowledge on random coding, binning, superposition coding, and capacity converses by introducing progressively more sophisticated
tools for a selection of source and channel models. The problems addressed include: Source Coding; Rate-Distortion and Multiple
Descriptions; Capacity-Cost; The Slepian-Wolf Problem; The Wyner-Ziv Problem; The Gelfand-Pinsker Problem; The Broadcast Channel;
The Multiaccess Channel; The Relay Channel; The Multiple Relay Channel; and The Multiaccess Channel with Generalized Feedback.
The survey also includes a review of basic probability and information theory.
