Outer Bounds for the Interference Channel with a Cognitive Relay

In this paper, we first present an outer bound for a general interference channel with a cognitive relay, i.e., a relay that has non-causal knowledge of both independent messages transmitted in the interference channel. This outer bound reduces to the capacity region of the deterministic broadcast channel and of the deterministic cognitive interference channel through nulling of certain channel inputs. It does not, however, reduce to that of certain deterministic interference channels for which capacity is known. As such, we subsequently tighten the bound for channels whose outputs satisfy an "invertibility" condition. This second outer bound now reduces to the capacity of this special class of deterministic interference channels. The second outer bound is further tightened for the high SNR deterministic approximation of the Gaussian interference channel with a cognitive relay by exploiting the special structure of the interference. We provide an example that suggests that this third bound is tight in at least some parameter regimes for the high SNR deterministic approximation of the Gaussian channel. Another example shows that the third bound is capacity in the special case where there are no direct links between the non-cognitive transmitters.

New inner and outer bounds for the discrete memoryless cognitive interference channel and some capacity results

The cognitive interference channel is an interference channel in which one transmitter is non-causally provided with the message of the other transmitter. This channel model has been extensively studied in the past years and capacity results for certain classes of channels have been proved. In this paper we present new inner and outer bounds for the capacity region of the cognitive interference channel as well as new capacity results. Previously proposed outer bounds are expressed in terms of auxiliary random variables for which no cardinality constraint is known. Consequently it is not possible to evaluate such outer bounds explicitly for a given channel model. The outer bound we derive is based on an idea originally devised by Sato for the broadcast channel and does not contain auxiliary random variables, allowing it to be more easily evaluated. The inner bound we derive is the largest known to date and is explicitly shown to include all previously proposed achievable rate regions. This comparison highlights which features of the transmission scheme - which includes rate-splitting, superposition coding, a broadcast channel-like binning scheme, and Gel'fand Pinsker coding - are most effective in approaching capacity. We next present new capacity results for a class of discrete memoryless channels that we term the "better cognitive decoding regime" which includes all previously known regimes in which capacity results have been derived as special cases. Finally, we determine the capacity region of the semi-deterministic cognitive interference channel, in which the signal at the cognitive receiver is a deterministic function of the channel inputs.

State of the cognitive interference channel: a new unified inner bound

The capacity region of the interference channel in which one transmitter non-causally knows the message of the other, termed the cognitive interference channel, has remained open since its inception in 2005. A number of subtly differing achievable rate regions and outer bounds have been derived, some of which are tight under specific conditions. In this work we present a new unified inner bound for the discrete memoryless cognitive interference channel. We show explicitly how it encompasses all known discrete memoryless achievable rate regions as special cases. The presented achievable region was recently used in deriving the capacity region of the general deterministic cognitive interference channel, and thus also the linear high-SNR deterministic approximation of the Gaussian cognitive interference channel. The high-SNR deterministic approximation was then used to obtain the capacity of the Gaussian cognitive interference channel to within 1.87 bits.

Outage analysis of Block-Fading Gaussian Interference Channels

This paper considers the asymptotic behavior of two-source block-fading single-antenna Gaussian interference channels in the high-SNR regime by means of the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff. We consider a general setting where the users and the average channel gains are not restricted to be symmetric. Our results are not just extensions of previous results for symmetric networks, as our setting covers scenarios that are not possible under the symmetric assumption, such as the case of "mixed" interference, i.e., when difference sources have different distances from their intended receivers. We derive upper and lower bounds on the diversity. We show that for a fairly large set of channel parameters the two bounds coincides.
