Some Reflections On The Interference Channel

  • Chapter
Communications and Cryptography

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 276))

Abstract

This paper provides a short overview of the advances on the interference channel, which is a well-known channel in multiuser information theory, that have appeared in the literature since 1976. Several open problems are defined.
