Superposition Coding for Costa Channels

We present practical codes designed for the Gaussian dirty paper (Costa) channel. We show that the dirty paper decoding problem can be transformed into an equivalent multiple-access problem, for which we apply superposition coding. Our approach is a generalization of the nested lattices approach of Zamir, Shamai and Erez. We present simulation results which conrm the eectiveness of our methods.
