Interference alignment (IA) has attracted enormous research interest as it achieves optimal capacity scaling with respect to signal to noise ratio on interference networks. IA has also recently emerged as an effective tool in engineering interference for secrecy protection on wireless wiretap networks. However, despite the numerous works dedicated to IA, two of its fundamental issues, i.e., fea...

Fundamental limits and insights: from wireless communication to DNA sequencing by Guy Bresler Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering — Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor David Tse, Chair Interference is a central phenomenon in wireless networks of all types, occurring whenever multiple users attempt to communicate over a shared medium. Current...

We provide inner bound and outer bound for the total number of degrees of freedom of the K user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) Gaussian interference channel with M antennas at each transmitter and N antennas at each receiver if the channel coefficients are time-varying and drawn from a continuous distribution. The bounds are tight when the ratio max(M,N) min(M,N) = R is equal to an integ...

In this letter, we present the first characterization for the achievable Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) by Blind Interference Alignment (BIA) using staggered antenna switching in the K-user Gaussian Interference Channel. In such scheme, each transmitter is equipped with one conventional antenna and each receiver is equipped with one reconfigurable (multi-mode) antenna. Assuming that the channel is kn...
