We consider the problem of textit{rate loss}---a strict penalty in achievable rates caused by the lack of channel state information at the receiver (Rx) of a classical-quantum (CQ) channel. First, we identify noncommutative CQ channels and analytically prove a rate loss. Building on this, we next prove that coset-code-based strategies can strictly outperform conventional unstructured IID-code-based strategies for noncommutative 3-user CQ broadcast channels.
