内容摘要：
The increasing complexity of communication networks in size and density provides us enormous opportunities to exploit interaction among multiple nodes, to achieve date throughput. On the flip side, however, there are significant challenges in managing interference that multiple source-destination pairs in the network may cause to each other. In this talk, we present some recent advances in information theory on how to exploit the opportunities, as well as how to overcome the challenges for various networks. These theoretically results provide potential guidance on possible ways of increasing spectral efficiency for future wireless systems.
In particular, we first present results on the impact of feedback and cooperation on networks with multiple-antenna transceivers. We find that feedback-one of the common ways to enable interaction in networks-has a promising role in improving the capacity of interference networks. Specifically, in stark contrast to the point-to-point case, a limited feedback can improve the capacity of interference-limited networks and the improvement can be unbounded. We then present results on several two-way relay networks.Two-way relay is potentially an effective approach to spectrum sharing and aggregation by allowing simultaneous bidirectional transmissions between source-destinations pairs. For the two-way 2×2×2 relay network, where there are four source/destination nodes and two relay nodes, with each source sending a message to its destination, we show that without relay caching the total degrees of freedom (DoF) is bounded from above by 8/3, indicating that bidirectional links do not double the DoF (It is known that the total DoF of one-way 2 × 2 × 2 relay network is 2.). Further, we show that the DoF of 8/3 is achievable for the two-way 2 × 2 × 2 relay network with relay caching, indicating caching can potentially increase the DoF. Results on two-way bufferfly networks will also be presented.
