The Degrees of Freedom of MIMO Interference Channels without State Information at Transmitters

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

This paper fully determines the degree-of-freedom (DoF) region of two-user interference channels with arbitrary number of transmit and receive antennas and isotropic fading, where the channel state information is available to the receivers but not to the transmitters. The result characterizes the capacity region to the first order of the logarithm of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the high-SNR regime. The DoF region is achieved using random Gaussian codebooks independent of the channel states. Hence the DoF gain due to beamforming and interference alignment is completely lost in absence of channel state information at the transmitters (CSIT).
