When Does Channel-Output Feedback Enlarge the Capacity Region of the Two-User Linear Deterministic Interference Channel?
Résumé
The two-user linear deterministic interference channel (LD-IC) with noisy channel-output feedback is fully described by six parameters that correspond to the number of bit-pipes between each transmitter and its corresponding intended receiver, i.e., $\overrightarrow{n}_{11}$ and $\overrightarrow{n}_{22}$; between each transmitter and its corresponding non-intended receiver i.e., $n_{12}$ and $n_{21}$; and between each receiver and its corresponding transmitter, i.e., $\overleftarrow{n}_{11}$ and $\overleftarrow{n}_{22}$. An LD-IC without feedback corresponds to the case in which $\overleftarrow{n}_{11} = \overleftarrow{n}_{22} = 0$ and the capacity region is denoted by $C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, 0 , 0)$.
In the case in which feedback is available at both transmitters, $\overleftarrow{n}_{11} > 0$ and $\overleftarrow{n}_{22} > 0$, the capacity is denoted by $C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, \overleftarrow{n}_{11} , \overleftarrow{n}_{22})$.
This paper presents the exact conditions on $\overleftarrow{n}_{11}$ (resp. $\overleftarrow{n}_{22}$) for observing an improvement in the capacity region $C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, \overleftarrow{n}_{11} , 0)$ (resp. $C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, 0 , \overleftarrow{n}_{22})$) with respect to $C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, 0 , 0)$, for any $4$-tuple $(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}$, $\overrightarrow{n}_{22}$, $n_{12}$, $n_{21}) \in \mathbb{N}^4$.
Specifically, it is shown that there exists a threshold for the number of bit-pipes in the feedback link of transmitter-receiver pair $1$ (resp. $2$), denoted by $\overleftarrow{n}_{11}^{\star}$ (resp. $\overleftarrow{n}_{22}^{\star}$) for which any $\overleftarrow{n}_{11} > \overleftarrow{n}_{11}^{\star}$ (resp. $\overleftarrow{n}_{22} > \overleftarrow{n}_{22}^{\star}$) enlarges the capacity region, i.e., $C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, 0 , 0) \subset C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, \overleftarrow{n}_{11} , 0)$ (resp. $C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21}, 0 , 0)\subset C(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21} , 0, \overleftarrow{n}_{22})$).
The exact conditions on $\overleftarrow{n}_{11}$ (resp. $\overleftarrow{n}_{22}$) to observe an improvement on a single rate or the sum-rate capacity, for any $4$-tuple $(\overrightarrow{n}_{11}, \overrightarrow{n}_{22}, n_{12}, n_{21})$ $\in \mathbb{N}^4$ are also presented in this paper.
