this paper concerns the transmission of two independent gaussian sources over a two-user decentralized interference channel, assuming that the transmitters are unaware of the instantaneous csis. the availability of the channel state information at receivers (csir) is considered in two scenarios of perfect and imperfect csir. in the imperfect csir case, we consider a more practical assumption of...

This paper aims at investigating the superiority of power allocation strategies, based on calculus of variations in a point-to-point two-way relay-assisted channel incorporating the amplify and forward strategy. Single and multilayer coding strategies for two cases of having and not having the channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters are studied, respectively. Using the notion of cal...

A main distinguishing feature of a wireless network compared with a wired network is its broadcast nature, in which the signal transmitted by a node may reach several other nodes, and a node may receive signals from several other nodes simultaneously. Rather than a blessing, this feature is treated more as an interference-inducing nuisance in most wireless networks today (e.g., IEEE 802.11). Th...
