Flexible Backhaul Design and Degrees of Freedom for Linear Interference Networks
The considered problem is that of maximizing the degrees of freedom (DoF) in
cellular downlink, under a backhaul load constraint that limits the number of
messages that can be delivered from a centralized controller to the base
station transmitters. A linear interference channel model is considered, where
each transmitter is connected to the receiver having the same index as well as
one succeeding receiver. The backhaul load is defined as the sum of all the
messages available at all the transmitters normalized by the number of users.
When the backhaul load is constrained to an integer level B, the asymptotic per
user DoF is shown to equal (4B-1)/(4B), and it is shown that the optimal
assignment of messages to transmitters is asymmetric and satisfies a local
cooperation constraint and that the optimal coding scheme relies only on
zero-forcing transmit beamforming. Finally, an extension of the presented
coding scheme is shown to apply for more general locally connected and
two-dimensional networks.Comment: Submitted to IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT

Dynamic Interference Management
A linear interference network is considered. Long-term fluctuations (shadow
fading) in the wireless channel can lead to any link being erased with
probability p. Each receiver is interested in one unique message that can be
available at M transmitters. In a cellular downlink scenario, the case where
M=1 reflects the cell association problem, and the case where M>1 reflects the
problem of setting up the backhaul links for Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP)
transmission. In both cases, we analyze Degrees of Freedom (DoF) optimal
schemes for the case of no erasures, and propose new schemes with better
average DoF performance at high probabilities of erasure. For M=1, we
characterize the average per user DoF, and identify the optimal assignment of
messages to transmitters at each value of p. For general values of M, we show
that there is no strategy for assigning messages to transmitters in large
networks that is optimal for all values of p.Comment: Shorter version is in proceedings of the Asilomar Conference on

Deep Neural Network Architectures for Modulation Classification
In this work, we investigate the value of employing deep learning for the
task of wireless signal modulation recognition. Recently in [1], a framework
has been introduced by generating a dataset using GNU radio that mimics the
imperfections in a real wireless channel, and uses 10 different modulation
types. Further, a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture was developed
and shown to deliver performance that exceeds that of expert-based approaches.
Here, we follow the framework of [1] and find deep neural network architectures
that deliver higher accuracy than the state of the art. We tested the
architecture of [1] and found it to achieve an accuracy of approximately 75% of
correctly recognizing the modulation type. We first tune the CNN architecture
of [1] and find a design with four convolutional layers and two dense layers
that gives an accuracy of approximately 83.8% at high SNR. We then develop
architectures based on the recently introduced ideas of Residual Networks
(ResNet [2]) and Densely Connected Networks (DenseNet [3]) to achieve high SNR
accuracies of approximately 83.5% and 86.6%, respectively. Finally, we
introduce a Convolutional Long Short-term Deep Neural Network (CLDNN [4]) to
achieve an accuracy of approximately 88.5% at high SNR.Comment: 5 pages, 10 figures, In proc. Asilomar Conference on Signals,
