Abstract

In a K-pair-user two-way interference channel (TWIC), 2K messages and 2K transmitters/receivers form a K-user IC in the forward direction (K messages) and another K-user IC in the backward direction which operate in fullduplex. All nodes may interact, or adapt inputs to past received signals. The optimal degrees of freedom (DoF, also known as the multiplexing gain) is known to be K [1]: full-duplex operation doubles the DoF, but interaction does not further increase the DoF. In this paper, we characterize the DoF of the K-pair-user TWIC with a MIMO, full-duplex relay. If the relay is noncausal/instantaneous (at time k forwards a function of its received signals up to time k) and has 2K antennas, we demonstrate a one-shot scheme where the relay mitigates all interference to achieve the interference-free 2K DoF. In contrast, if the relay is causal (at time k forwards a function of its received signals up to time k − 1), we show that a full-duplex MIMO relay cannot increase the DoF of the K-pair-user TWIC beyond K, as if no relay or interaction is present.
