On the Degrees of Freedom of time correlated MISO broadcast channel with delayed CSIT
We consider the time correlated MISO broadcast channel where the transmitter
has partial knowledge on the current channel state, in addition to delayed
channel state information (CSI). Rather than exploiting only the current CSI,
as the zero-forcing precoding, or only the delayed CSI, as the Maddah-Ali-Tse
(MAT) scheme, we propose a seamless strategy that takes advantage of both. The
achievable degrees of freedom of the proposed scheme is characterized in terms
of the quality of the current channel knowledge.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, submitted to ISIT 2012, extended version with

Topological Interference Management with Alternating Connectivity: The Wyner-Type Three User Interference Channel
Interference management in a three-user interference channel with alternating
connectivity with only topological knowledge at the transmitters is considered.
The network has a Wyner-type channel flavor, i.e., for each connectivity state
the receivers observe at most one interference signal in addition to their
desired signal. Degrees of freedom (DoF) upper bounds and lower bounds are
derived. The lower bounds are obtained from a scheme based on joint encoding
across the alternating states. Given a uniform distribution among the
connectivity states, it is shown that the channel has 2+ 1/9 DoF. This provides
an increase in the DoF as compared to encoding over each state separately,
which achieves 2 DoF only.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Resolving Entanglements in Topological Interference Management with Alternating Connectivity
The sum-capacity of a three user interference wired network for time-varying
channels is considered. Due to the channel variations, it is assumed that the
transmitters are only able to track the connectivity between the individual
nodes, thus only the (alternating) state of the network is known. By
considering a special subset of all possible states, we show that state
splitting combined with joint encoding over the alternating states is required
to achieve the sum-capacity. Regarding upper bounds, we use a genie aided
approach to show the optimality of this scheme. This highlights that more
involved transmit strategies are required for characterizing the degrees of
freedom even if the transmitters have heavily restricted channel state
information
Optimal Use of Current and Outdated Channel State Information - Degrees of Freedom of the MISO BC with Mixed CSIT
We consider a multiple-input-single-output (MISO) broadcast channel with
mixed channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) that consists of
imperfect current CSIT and perfect outdated CSIT. Recent work by Kobayashi et
al. presented a scheme which exploits both imperfect current CSIT and perfect
outdated CSIT and achieves higher degrees of freedom (DoF) than possible with
only imperfect current CSIT or only outdated CSIT individually. In this work,
we further improve the achievable DoF in this setting by incorporating
additional private messages, and provide a tight information theoretic DoF
outer bound, thereby identifying the DoF optimal use of mixed CSIT. The new
result is stronger even in the original setting of only delayed CSIT, because
it allows us to remove the restricting assumption of statistically equivalent
fading for all users
On the Fundamental Feedback-vs-Performance Tradeoff over the MISO-BC with Imperfect and Delayed CSIT
This work considers the multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO)
broadcast channel (BC), where a transmitter with M antennas transmits
information to K single-antenna users, and where - as expected - the quality
and timeliness of channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) is
imperfect. Motivated by the fundamental question of how much feedback is
necessary to achieve a certain performance, this work seeks to establish bounds
on the tradeoff between degrees-of-freedom (DoF) performance and CSIT feedback
quality. Specifically, this work provides a novel DoF region outer bound for
the general K-user MISO BC with partial current CSIT, which naturally bridges
the gap between the case of having no current CSIT (only delayed CSIT, or no
CSIT) and the case with full CSIT. The work then characterizes the minimum CSIT
feedback that is necessary for any point of the sum DoF, which is optimal for
the case with M >= K, and the case with M=2, K=3.Comment: An initial version of this paper has been reported as Research Report
