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:
“There is no release
In a bodkin or disease,
Nor can there be a work so great
As that which cleans man’s dirty slate.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown?... U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
