MIMO MAC-BC Duality With Linear-Feedback Coding Schemes

Résumé

We show that the rate regions achieved by linear-feedback coding schemes over dual multi-antenna Gaussian multi-access channels (MACs) and broadcast channels (BCs) with independent noises coincide. By dual here we mean: • the channel matrices of the MAC and the BC are transposes of each other and • the same total input-power constraint P is imposed on both the channels. We also present multi-letter expressions for the linear-feedback capacity regions of the two channels, i.e., for the set of all rates that are achievable with the linear-feedback coding schemes. We identify a sub-class of MAC and BC linear-feedback coding schemes that achieve the respective linear-feedback capacity regions, and within these subclasses, we identify pairs of MAC and BC coding schemes that achieve the same rate regions. In the two-user case, when the transmitters or the receiver are single-antenna, the capacity region for the Gaussian MAC is known and the capacity-achieving scheme is a linear-feedback coding scheme. With our results, we can thus determine the linear-feedback capacity region of the two-user Gaussian BC when either transmitter or receivers are single-antenna and we can identify the corresponding linear-feedback capacity-achieving coding schemes. Our results show that the control-theory inspired linear-feedback coding scheme by Elia, Wu et al., and Ardestanizadeh et al. is sum-rate optimal among all the linear-feedback coding schemes for the symmetric single-antenna Gaussian BC with equal channel gains. More generally, we show that the linear-feedback sum-capacity of the scalar Gaussian BC with independent noises is achieved using a simple rearrangement of Ozarow's MAC encodings and decodings. In the K ≥ 3-user case, Kramer and Ardestanizadeh et al. determined the linear-feedback sum-capacity for the symmetric single-antenna Gaussian MAC with equal channel gains. Using our duality result, in this paper, we identify the linear-feedback sum-capacity for the K ≥ 3-user single-antenna Gaussian BC with equal channel gains. It is equal to the sum-rate achieved by Ardestanizadeh et al.'s linear-feedback coding scheme. Our results extend also to the setup where only a subset of the feedback links are present.
