For the fully connected K user wireless interference channel where coefficients are time-varying and drawn from a continuous distribution, sum capacity is characterized as C(SNR)=K/2log(SNR)+o(log(SNR)) . Thus, almost surely has K/2 degrees of freedom. Achievability based on idea alignment. Examples also provided channels with constant (not time-varying) exactly achieved by alignment at all SNR values.

We provide an overview of the extensive results on Shannon capacity single-user and multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Although enormous gains have been predicted for such channels, these predictions are based somewhat unrealistic assumptions about underlying time-varying channel model how well it can be tracked at receiver, as transmitter. More realistic dramatically impact potential MIMO techniques. For channels there multiple theoretic definitions and, each...

In this correspondence, we consider the problem of maximizing sum rate a multiple-antenna Gaussian broadcast channel (BC). It was recently found that dirty-paper coding is capacity achieving for channel. order to achieve capacity, optimal transmission policy (i.e., transmit covariance structure) given conditions and power constraint must be found. However, obtaining when employing computationally complex nonconvex problem. We use duality transform into well-structured convex multiple-access...

It has been conjectured by Hø-Madsen and Nosratinia that complex Gaussian interference channels with constant channel coefficients have only one degree-of-freedom regardless of the number users. While several examples are known achieve more than 1 degree-of-freedom, these special cases span a subset measure zero. In other words, for almost all coefficient values, it is not if achievable. this paper, we settle Høst-Madsen-Nosratinia conjecture in negative. We show at least 1.2...
