Channel Conditions for the Optimality of Interference Decoding Schemes for K-user Gaussian Interference Channels

Abstract

The Han-Kobayashi (HK) scheme achieves the best known achievable rate region for the K user interference channel (IC). Simple HK schemes are HK schemes with Gaussian signaling, no time sharing, and no private-common power splitting. The class of simple HK schemes includes the treating interference as noise (TIN) scheme and schemes that involve various levels of interference decoding and cancellation at each receiver. We derive conditions under which simple HK schemes achieve sum capacity for general K user Gaussian ICs. These results generalize existing sum capacity results for the TIN scheme to the class of simple HK schemes.
