On the Limits of Treating Interference as Noise for Two-User Symmetric Gaussian Interference Channels Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • 2015 IEEE. The limits of treating interference as noise are studied for the canonical two-user symmetric Gaussian interference channel. A two-step approach is proposed for finding approximately optimal input distributions in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. First, approximately and precisely optimal input distributions are found for the Avestimehr-Diggavi-Tse (ADT) linear deterministic model. These distributions are then translated, systematically, into Gaussian models, which we show can achieve the sum capacity to within O(log log(SNR)).
