The Capacity of Interference Channels with Partial Transmitter Cooperation

SPEAKER: Professor Ivana Maric, Stanford UniversityABSTRACT: We present capacity regions for several two-sender, two-receiver channels with partial transmitter cooperation. First, we present the capacity regions for compound multiaccess channels (MACs) with common information and compound MACs with conferencing. Next, we consider two interference channel models; interference channels with common information and interference channels where the message sent by one of the encoders is known to the other encoder. The capacity regions of both of these channels are determined when there is "strong" interference, i.e., the interference is such that both receivers can decode all messages with no rate penalty. The resulting capacity regions thus coincide with the capacity region of the compound MAC with common information. HOST: Giuseppe Caire, caire@usc.edu
