Deep Learning for the Degraded Broadcast Channel.

Machine learning has shown promising results for communications system problems. We present results on the use of deep auto-encoders in order to learn a transceiver for the multiuser degraded broadcast channel, and see that the auto encoder is able to learn to communicate on this channel using superposition coding. Additionally, the deep neural net is able to determine a bit labeling and optimize the per user power allocation that depends on the per user SNR.
