An Achievability Result for the General Relay Channel

We consider the general relay channel. For this setup, the best achievability result was derived by Cover and ElGamal, in theorem 6 of their paper from 1979. In this work we apply simultaneous decoding of both source and relay messages at the receiver and obtain a set of rates that contains those of Cover and El-Gamal.
