Secrecy in the 2-User Symmetric Deterministic Interference Channel with Transmitter Cooperation
This work presents novel achievable schemes for the 2-user symmetric linear
deterministic interference channel with limited-rate transmitter cooperation
and perfect secrecy constraints at the receivers. The proposed achievable
scheme consists of a combination of interference cancelation, relaying of the
other user's data bits, time sharing, and transmission of random bits,
depending on the rate of the cooperative link and the relative strengths of the
signal and the interference. The results show, for example, that the proposed
scheme achieves the same rate as the capacity without the secrecy constraints,
in the initial part of the weak interference regime. Also, sharing random bits
through the cooperative link can achieve a higher secrecy rate compared to
sharing data bits, in the very high interference regime. The results highlight
the importance of limited transmitter cooperation in facilitating secure
communications over 2-user interference channels.Comment: 5 pages, submitted to SPAWC 201
