The Capacity Region of the Gaussian Z-Interference Channel with Gaussian Input and Weak Interference
Abstract
We consider a wireless communication scenario with two transmit-receive pairs
where each of the transmitters has a message for its corresponding receiver and only
one of the receivers face interference from the undesired transmitter. In our research,
we focused on devising optimal ways to manage this undesired interference and
characterize the best communication rates for both transmit-receive pairs. Currently,
this problem of interference is dealt with by restricting the two communications in
di erent frequency or time bands. We explore the possibility of achieving better rates
by allowing them to operate in the same band. Such channels were identi ed about
4 decades ago, but the maximum rate of communication when the transmitters have
a power constraint is still unknown. In this work, we characterize the best rates for
this channel under a reasonable practical constraint of using Gaussian signals at both
the transmitters.
