A relay channel with orthogonal components in which the destination is affected by an interference signal that is non-causally available only at the source is studied. The interference signal has structure in that it is produced by another transmitter communicating with its own destination. Moreover, the interferer is not willing to adjust its communication strategy to minimize the interference. Knowledge of the interferer's signal may be acquired by the source, for instance, by exploiting HARQ retransmissions on the interferer's link. The source can then utilize the relay not only for communicating its own message, but also for cooperative interference mitigation at the destination by informing the relay about the interference signal. Proposed transmission strategies are based on partial decode-and-forward (PDF) relaying and leverage the interference structure. Achievable schemes are derived for discrete memoryless models, Gaussian and Ricean fading channels. Furthermore, optimal strategies are identified in some special cases. Finally, numerical results bring insight into the advantages of utilizing the interference structure at the source, relay or destination.
Extensions to the multiuser case were performed by Gel'fand and Pinsker in @cite_7 and by Kim in @cite_8 @cite_24 . In particular, in @cite_8 @cite_24 it is proved that for MACs multi-user versions of GP and DPC, referred to as multi-user GP (MU-GP) and multi user DPC (MU-DPC) respectively, achieve optimal performance. In @cite_11 , Somekh-Baruch considered a memoryless two-user MAC, with the state available only to one of the encoders. The capacity region is shown to be obtained by generalized GP (GGP) and generalized DPC (GDPC). The scenario studied in this paper, but with an i.i.d. state is investigated in @cite_15 , @cite_4 for a Discrete Memoryless (DM) and Gaussian relay channels with an in-band relay and @cite_21 @cite_3 for a DM and Gaussian relay channel with an out-of-band relay where lower and upper bounds on the capacity are derived.

In this paper, we consider a three-terminal state-dependent relay channel (RC) with the channel state noncausally available at only the relay. Such a model may be useful for designing cooperative wireless networks with some terminals equipped with cognition capabilities, i.e., the relay in our setup. In the discrete memoryless (DM) case, we establish lower and upper bounds on channel capacity. The lower bound is obtained by a coding scheme at the relay that uses a combination of codeword splitting, Gel'fand-Pinsker binning, and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying. The upper bound improves upon that obtained by assuming that the channel state is available at the source, the relay, and the destination. For the Gaussian case, we also derive lower and upper bounds on the capacity. The lower bound is obtained by a coding scheme at the relay that uses a combination of codeword splitting, generalized dirty paper coding (DPC), and DF relaying; the upper bound is also better than that obtained by assuming that the channel state is available at the source, the relay, and the destination. In the case of degraded Gaussian channels, the lower bound meets with the upper bound for some special cases, and, so, the capacity is obtained for these cases. Furthermore, in the Gaussian case, we also extend the results to the case in which the relay operates in a half-duplex mode. We consider a state-dependent three-terminal full-duplex relay channel with the channel states noncausally available at only the source, that is, neither at the relay nor at the destination. This model has application to cooperation over certain wireless channels with asymmetric cognition capabilities and cognitive interference relay channels. We establish lower bounds on the channel capacity for both discrete memoryless (DM) and Gaussian cases. For the DM case, the coding scheme for the lower bound uses techniques of rate-splitting at the source, decode-and-forward (DF) relaying, and a Gel'fand-Pinsker-like binning scheme. In this coding scheme, the relay decodes only partially the information sent by the source. Due to the rate-splitting, this lower bound is better than the one obtained by assuming that the relay decodes all the information from the source, that is, full-DF. For the Gaussian case, we consider channel models in which each of the relay node and the destination node experiences on its link an additive Gaussian outside interference. We first focus on the case in which the links to the relay and to the destination are corrupted by the same interference; and then we focus on the case of independent interferences. We also discuss a model with correlated interferences. For each of the first two models, we establish a lower bound on the channel capacity. The coding schemes for the lower bounds use techniques of dirty paper coding or carbon copying onto dirty paper, interference reduction at the source and decode-and-forward relaying. The results reveal that, by opposition to carbon copying onto dirty paper and its root Costa's initial dirty paper coding (DPC), it may be beneficial in our setup that the informed source uses a part of its power to partially cancel the effect of the interference so that the uninformed relay benefits from this cancellation, and so the source benefits in turn. In this paper, we consider a discrete memoryless state-dependent relay channel with non-causal Channel State Information (CSI). We investigate three different cases in which perfect channel states can be known non-causally: i) only to the source, ii) only to the relay or iii) both to the source and to the relay node. For these three cases we establish lower bounds on the channel capacity (achievable rates) based on using Gel'fand-Pinsker coding at the nodes where the CSI is available and using Compress-and-Forward (CF) strategy at the relay. Furthermore, for the general Gaussian relay channel with additive independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) states and noise, we obtain lower bounds on the capacity for the cases in which CSI is available at the source or at the relay. We also compare our derived bounds with the previously obtained results which were based on Decode-and-Forward (DF) strategy, and we show the cases in which our derived lower bounds outperform DF based bounds, and can achieve the rates close to the upper bound. Explicit code constructions for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple-access channels (MAC) with K users are presented in this paper. The first construction is dedicated to the case of symmetric MIMO-MAC where all the users have the same number of transmit antennas nt and transmit at the same level of per-user multiplexing gain r. Furthermore, we assume that the users transmit in an independent fashion and do not cooperate. The construction is systematic for any values of K, nt and r. It is proved that this newly proposed construction achieves the optimal MIMO-MAC diversity-multiplexing gain tradeoff (DMT) provided by Tse at high-SNR regime. In the second part of the paper we take a further step to investigate the MAC-DMT of a general MIMO-MAC where the users are allowed to have different numbers of transmit antennas and can transmit at different levels of multiplexing gain. The exact optimal MAC-DMT of such channel is explicitly characterized in this paper. Interestingly, in the general MAC-DMT, some users might not be able to achieve their single-user DMT performance as in the symmetric case, even when the multiplexing gains of the other users are close to 0. Detailed explanations of such unexpected result are provided in this paper. Finally, by generalizing the code construction for the symmetric MIMO-MAC, explicit code constructions are provided for the general MIMO-MAC and are proved to be optimal in terms of the general MAC-DMT.
