Approximate Nash Region of the Gaussian Interference Channel with Noisy Output Feedback

In this paper, an achievable $\eta$-Nash equilibrium ($\eta$-NE) region for the two-user Gaussian interference channel with noisy channel-output feedback is presented for all $\eta \geqslant 1$. This result is obtained in the scenario in which each transmitter-receiver pair chooses its own transmit-receive configuration in order to maximize its own individual information transmission rate. At an $\eta$-NE, any unilateral deviation by either of the pairs does not increase the corresponding individual rate by more than $\eta$ bits per channel use.

Nash Region of the Linear Deterministic Interference Channel with Noisy Output Feedback

In this paper, the $\eta$-Nash equilibrium ($\eta$-NE) region of the two-user linear deterministic interference channel (IC) with noisy channel-output feedback is characterized for all $\eta > 0$. The $\eta$-NE region, a subset of the capacity region, contains the set of all achievable information rate pairs that are stable in the sense of an $\eta$-NE. More specifically, given an $\eta$-NE coding scheme, there does not exist an alternative coding scheme for either transmitter-receiver pair that increases the individual rate by more than $\eta$ bits per channel use. Existing results such as the $\eta$-NE region of the linear deterministic IC without feedback and with perfect output feedback are obtained as particular cases of the result presented in this paper.

Approximate Capacity Region of the Two-User Gaussian Interference Channel with Noisy Channel-Output Feedback

In this paper, the capacity region of the linear deterministic interference channel with noisy channel-output feedback (LD-IC-NF) is fully characterized. The proof of achievability is based on random coding arguments and rate splitting; block-Markov superposition coding; and backward decoding. The proof of converse reuses some of the existing outer bounds and includes new ones obtained using genie-aided models. Following the insight gained from the analysis of the LD-IC-NF, an achievability region and a converse region for the two-user Gaussian interference channel with noisy channel-output feedback (GIC-NF) are presented. Finally, the achievability region and the converse region are proven to approximate the capacity region of the G-IC-NF to within 4.4 bits.

Approximate Capacity of the Two-User Gaussian Interference Channel with Noisy Channel-Output Feedback

In this research report, an achievability region and a converse region for the two-user Gaussian interference channel with noisy channel-output feedback (G-IC-NOF) are presented. The achievability region is obtained using a random coding argument and three well-known techniques: rate splitting, superposition coding and backward decoding. The converse region is obtained using some of the existing perfect-output feedback outer-bounds as well as a set of new outer-bounds that are obtained by using genie-aided models of the original G-IC-NOF. Finally, it is shown that the achievability region and the converse region approximate the capacity region of the G-IC-NOF to within a constant gap in bits per channel use.

Noisy Channel-Output Feedback Capacity of the Linear Deterministic Interference Channel

In this technical report, the capacity region of the two-user linear deterministic (LD) interference channel with noisy output feedback (IC-NOF) is fully characterized. This result allows the identification of several asymmetric scenarios in which implementing channel-output feedback in only one of the transmitter-receiver pairs is as beneficial as implementing it in both links, in terms of achievable individual rate and sum-rate improvements w.r.t. the case without feedback. In other scenarios, the use of channel-output feedback in any of the transmitter-receiver pairs benefits only one of the two pairs in terms of achievable individual rate improvements or simply, it turns out to be useless, i.e., the capacity regions with and without feedback turn out to be identical even in the full absence of noise in the feedback links.
