Abstract :
Communications over a binary channel with an additive (modulo 2) individual noise sequence and a full causal feedback link is explored. A randomized sequential transmission scheme that adapts its rate to the individual noise realization is presented. The decoding rate is analyzed for a special case, and shown to asymptotically approach 1 - hb (pemp) with a vanishing probability of error w.r.t. the scheme´s randomization, where hb (pemp) is the empirical entropy of the noise sequence. Therefore, while the classical capacity of this channel is zero, information may be reliably transmitted over the channel by not committing to a rate in advance, but rather decoding at a rate dictated by the realized noise sequence
