Noisy network coding approach to the relay channel with a random state

We consider the three-node relay channel with a random state. We assume that noncausal knowledge of the random state is partially known at the nodes. We present an achievable rate based on the noisy network coding (NNC) and the Gelfand-Pinsker random binning strategies. We then compare the achievable rate of NNC with that of compress-and-forward.
