Interference alignment (IA) is a transmission strategy that attempts to exploit all degrees of freedom available at the transmitter or at the receiver in a multiuser channel. This paper proposes a new scheme named channel aided interference alignment. It makes use of the channel structure beside the linear interference alignment schemes to achieve the optimum degrees of freedom in a K user inte...

This paper studies the problem of centralized dynamic channel assignment (DCA) in wireless cellular systems under space and time-varying channel demand. The objective is to minimize the number of channels required to satisfy demand while also satisfying cochannel interference constraints. Cumulative co-channel interference constraints govern channel reuse, via a threshold decision criterion bas...

We explore the capacity and generalized degrees of freedom of the two-user Gaussian X channel, i.e. a generalization of the 2 user interference channel where there is an independent message from each transmitter to each receiver. There are three main results in this paper. First, we characterize the sum capacity of the deterministic X channel model under a symmetric setting. Second, we characte...

While the best known outerbound for the K user interference channel states that there cannot be more than K/2 degrees of freedom, it has been conjectured that in general the constant interference channel with any number of users has only one degree of freedom. In this paper, we explore the spatial degrees of freedom per orthogonal time and frequency dimension for the K user wireless interferenc...

Recently, we proposed an interference-aware channel segregation based dynamic channel assignment (IACS-DCA). In IACS-DCA, each base station (BS) measures the instantaneous co-channel interference (CCI) power on each available channel, computes the moving average CCI power using past CCI measurement results, and selects the channel having the lowest moving average CCI power. In this way, the CCI...

Recent information theory results have indicated that a large channel capacity exists for wireless systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas. With different assumptions of channel knowledge and interference knowledge at the transmitter, the channel capacity of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems has been studied under both spatially white and colored interference and noise. ...

In this paper we investigate the performance of MIMO systems in co-channel interference. We present a way of explicitly examining the effect of interference on the MIMO sub-channel gains. Using this, we derive upper and lower asymptotic bounds on capacity with many interferers and in high interference-to-noise ratio. Simulation results are presented for these bounds and for the performance of M...
