TDMA is Optimal for All-unicast DoF Region of TIM if and only if Topology is Chordal Bipartite
The main result of this work is that an orthogonal access scheme such as TDMA
achieves the all-unicast degrees of freedom (DoF) region of the topological
interference management (TIM) problem if and only if the network topology graph
is chordal bipartite, i.e., every cycle that can contain a chord, does contain
a chord. The all-unicast DoF region includes the DoF region for any arbitrary
choice of a unicast message set, so e.g., the results of Maleki and Jafar on
the optimality of orthogonal access for the sum-DoF of one-dimensional convex
networks are recovered as a special case. The result is also established for
the corresponding topological representation of the index coding problem
A Note on the Sparing Number of Graphs
An integer additive set-indexer is defined as an injective function
such that the induced function defined by is also
injective. An IASI is said to be a weak IASI if
for all . A graph which admits a
weak IASI may be called a weak IASI graph. The set-indexing number of an
element of a graph , a vertex or an edge, is the cardinality of its
set-labels. The sparing number of a graph is the minimum number of edges
with singleton set-labels, required for a graph to admit a weak IASI. In
this paper, we study the sparing number of certain graphs and the relation of
sparing number with some other parameters like matching number, chromatic
number, covering number, independence number etc.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, submitte
