New Achievable Rates for Gaussian Partially Cognitive Interference Channels With Multiple Cognitive Pairs

This paper characterizes achievable rate regions for the Gaussian partially cognitive interference channel with multiple cognitive pairs (K-PCIFC), where the cognitive transmitters know one part of the primary transmitter's message. We explore a novel methodology using the deterministic discrete superposition model (DSM). We find codes and their achievable rate regions in the DSM, and we show that they yield achievable rate regions in the Gaussian model. Our coding scheme in the DSM can be applied in general scenarios. We devise an achievable rate region for the K-PCIFC, which is within a constant gap to known outer bounds for K = 2 in the weak interference regime. From our expressions we derive guidelines for designing the cognitive link between the primary transmitter and the cognitive transmitters. Furthermore, we show that the gain from cognition diminishes for increasing K.
