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
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,
