Multiaccess Channels with State Known to One Encoder: Another Case of Degraded Message Sets
We consider a two-user state-dependent multiaccess channel in which only one
of the encoders is informed, non-causally, of the channel states. Two
independent messages are transmitted: a common message transmitted by both the
informed and uninformed encoders, and an individual message transmitted by only
the uninformed encoder. We derive inner and outer bounds on the capacity region
of this model in the discrete memoryless case as well as the Gaussian case.
Further, we show that the bounds for the Gaussian case are tight in some
special cases.Comment: 5 pages, Proc. of IEEE International Symposium on Information theory,

Inner and Outer Bounds for the Gaussian Cognitive Interference Channel and New Capacity Results
The capacity of the Gaussian cognitive interference channel, a variation of
the classical two-user interference channel where one of the transmitters
(referred to as cognitive) has knowledge of both messages, is known in several
parameter regimes but remains unknown in general. In this paper we provide a
comparative overview of this channel model as we proceed through our
contributions: we present a new outer bound based on the idea of a broadcast
channel with degraded message sets, and another series of outer bounds obtained
by transforming the cognitive channel into channels with known capacity. We
specialize the largest known inner bound derived for the discrete memoryless
channel to the Gaussian noise channel and present several simplified schemes
evaluated for Gaussian inputs in closed form which we use to prove a number of
results. These include a new set of capacity results for the a) "primary
decodes cognitive" regime, a subset of the "strong interference" regime that is
not included in the "very strong interference" regime for which capacity was
known, and for the b) "S-channel" in which the primary transmitter does not
interfere with the cognitive receiver. Next, for a general Gaussian cognitive
interference channel, we determine the capacity to within one bit/s/Hz and to
within a factor two regardless of channel parameters, thus establishing rate
performance guarantees at high and low SNR, respectively. We also show how
different simplified transmission schemes achieve a constant gap between inner
and outer bound for specific channels. Finally, we numerically evaluate and
compare the various simplified achievable rate regions and outer bounds in
parameter regimes where capacity is unknown, leading to further insight on the
capacity region of the Gaussian cognitive interference channel.Comment: submitted to IEEE transaction of Information Theor
On the Capacity Region of the Two-user Interference Channel with a Cognitive Relay
This paper considers a variation of the classical two-user interference
channel where the communication of two interfering source-destination pairs is
aided by an additional node that has a priori knowledge of the messages to be
transmitted, which is referred to as the it cognitive relay. For this
Interference Channel with a Cognitive Relay (ICCR) In particular, for the class
of injective semi-deterministic ICCRs, a sum-rate upper bound is derived for
the general memoryless ICCR and further tightened for the Linear Deterministic
Approximation (LDA) of the Gaussian noise channel at high SNR, which disregards
the noise and focuses on the interaction among the users' signals. The capacity
region of the symmetric LDA is completely characterized except for the regime
of moderately weak interference and weak links from the CR to the destinations.
The insights gained from the analysis of the LDA are then translated back to
the symmetric Gaussian noise channel (GICCR). For the symmetric GICCR, an
approximate characterization (to within a constant gap) of the capacity region
is provided for a parameter regime where capacity was previously unknown. The
approximately optimal scheme suggests that message cognition at a relay is
beneficial for interference management as it enables simultaneous over the air
neutralization of the interference at both destinations
A New Capacity Result for the Z-Gaussian Cognitive Interference Channel
This work proposes a novel outer bound for the Gaussian cognitive
interference channel in strong interference at the primary receiver based on
the capacity of a multi-antenna broadcast channel with degraded message set. It
then shows that for the Z-channel, i.e., when the secondary receiver
experiences no interference and the primary receiver experiences strong
interference, the proposed outer bound not only is the tightest among known
bounds but is actually achievable for sufficiently strong interference. The
latter is a novel capacity result that from numerical evaluations appears to be
generalizable to a larger (i.e., non-Z) class of Gaussian channels
