Abstract:
The symmetric 3-user interference channel is studied with the goal of characterizing its capacity region in the strong interference regime within a constant gap. To this end, a transmission scheme combining rate-splitting and interference alignment is proposed, and its achievable rate is derived. Next it is shown that the proposed scheme achieves the so-called greedy-max corner points of the capacity region within a constant gap. By combining this result with previous results on the sumcapacity of the interference channel, a constant gap characterization of the capacity region for the strong interference regime is obtained.
