In telecommunications, dirty paper coding (DPC) is a technique for efficient transmission of digital data through a channel subjected to some interference known to the transmitter. The technique consists of precoding the data in order to cancel the effect caused by the interference.
Dirty-paper Coding achieves the channel capacity, without power penalty and without requiring the receiver to gain knowledge of the interference state.
Note that DPC at the encoder is an information-theoretic dual of Wyner-Ziv coding at the decoder.

Famous quotes containing the words dirty and/or paper:
“A dirty house in a gutted world,
A tatter of shadows peaked to white,
Smeared with the gold of the opulent sun.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“There’s a long story, my friend. I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level, it actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news off the seat of my pants.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
