Abstract—In a bi-directional relay channel, two nodes wish to ex-change independent messages over a shared wireless half-duplex channel with the help of a relay. In this paper, we derive achiev-able rate regions for four new half-duplex protocols and compare these to four existing half-duplex protocols and outer bounds. In time, our protocols consist of either two or three phases. In the two phase protocols, both users simultaneously transmit during the first phase and the relay alone transmits during the second phase, while in the three phase protocol the two users sequentially transmit followed by a transmission from the relay. The relay may forward information in one of four manners; we outline existing amplify and forward (AF), decode and forward (DF), lattice based, and compress and forward (CF) relaying schemes and introduce the novel mixed forward scheme. The latter is a combination of CF in one direction and DF in the other. We derive achievable rate re-gions for the CF andMixed relaying schemes for the two and three phase protocols. We provide a comprehensive treatment of eight possible half-duplex bi-directional relaying protocols in Gaussian noise, obtaining their relative performance under different SNR and relay geometries. Index Terms—Achievable rate regions, bi-directional communi-cation, compress and forward, relaying. I.

Abstract—We consider the Gaussian interference channel with an intermediate relay as a main building block for cooperative interference networks. On the achievability side, we consider compress-and-forward based strategies. Specifically, a generalized compress-and-forward strategy, where the destinations jointly decode the compression indices and the source messages, is shown to improve upon the compress-and-forward strategy which se-quentially decodes the compression indices and source messages, and the recently proposed generalized hash-and-forward strategy. We also construct a nested lattice code based compute-and-for-ward relaying scheme, which outperforms other relaying schemes when the direct link is weak. In this case, it is shown that, with a relay, the interference link can be useful for decoding the source messages. Noting the need for upperbounding the capacity for this channel, we propose a new technique with which the sum rate can be bounded. In particular, the sum capacity is upperbounded by considering the channel when the relay node has abundant power and is named potent for that reason. For the Gaussian interference relay channel with potent relay, we study the strong and the weak interference regimes and establish the sum capacity, which, in turn, serve as upperbounds for the sum capacity of the GIFRC with finite relay power. Numerical results demonstrate that upperbounds are tighter than the cut-set bound, and coincide with known achievable sum rates for many scenarios of interest. Additionally, the degrees of freedom of the GIFRC are shown to be 2 when the relay has large power, achievable using com-press-and-forward. Index Terms—Generalized compress-and-forward, interference relay channel, lattice codes, potent relay outerbound, sum capacity.

Abstract—In prior work, we proposed the compute-andforward framework for sending linear combinations of messages to relays. In this note, we extend the notion of successive interference cancellation to the compute-and-forward setting. We find that once a relay has decoded a linear combination, it can mix it with its channel output to create a new effective channel output. The resulting effective channel can be tuned so that it is more suitable for decoding a second linear combination than the original channel. I.

We propose a novel space-division-based net-work-coding scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relay channels (TWRCs), in which two multiantenna users exchange information via a multiantenna relay. In the proposed scheme, the overall signal space at the relay is divided into two subspaces. In one subspace, the spatial streams of the two users have nearly orthogonal directions and are completely decoded at the relay. In the other subspace, the signal direc-tions of the two users are nearly parallel, and linear functions of the spatial streams are computed at the relay, following the principle of physical-layer network coding. Based on the recov-ered messages and message-functions, the relay generates and forwards network-coded messages to the two users. We show that, at high signal-to-noise ratio, the proposed scheme achieves the asymptotic sum-rate capacity of the MIMO TWRC within bits per user-antenna, for any antenna con-figuration and any channel realization. We perform large-system analysis to derive the average sum-rate of the proposed scheme over Rayleigh-fading MIMO TWRCs. We show that the average asymptotic sum-rate gap to the capacity is at most 0.053 bits per relay-antenna. It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the existing schemes.

Abstract — This paper investigates the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the L-cluster, K-user MIMO multiway relay channel, where users in each cluster wish to exchange messages within the cluster, and they can only communicate through the relay. A novel DoF upper bound is derived by providing users with carefully designed genie information. Achievable DoF is identified using signal space alignment and multiple-access transmission. For the two-cluster MIMO multiway relay channel with two users in each cluster, the DoF is established for the general case when users and the relay have arbitrary number of antennas, and it is shown that the DoF upper bound can be achieved using signal space alignment or multiple-access transmission, or a combination of both. The result is then generalized to the three user case. For the L-cluster K-user MIMO multiway relay channel in the symmetric setting, conditions under which the DoF upper bound can be achieved are established. In addition to being shown to be tight in a variety of scenarios of interests of the multiway relay channel, the newly derived upperbound also establishes the optimality of several previously established achievable DoF results for multiuser relay channels that are special cases of the multiway relay channel. Index Terms — MIMO multi-way relay channel, degrees of freedom, signal space alignment, interference alignment. I.
