Abstract

In this paper we study the two unicast information flow problem over layered Gaussian networks with arbitrary number of nodes and connectivity, under the model of delayed channel state information (CSI) at transmitters and instantaneous CSI at receivers. We show that similar to the case with instantaneous CSI at transmitters (CSIT), the degrees of freedom (DoF) region is strictly larger than the time-sharing DoF region if and only if there is no omniscient node, definition of which only depends on the topology of the network. Moreover, as in the case with instantaneous CSIT, 2/3 DoF per user is always achievable when there is no omniscient node in the network.

Channel state information

In wireless communications, channel state information (CSI) is the known channel properties of a communication link. This information describes how a signal propagates from the transmitter to the receiver and represents the combined effect of, for example, scattering, fading, and power decay with distance. The method is called channel estimation. The CSI makes it possible to adapt transmissions to current channel conditions, which is crucial for achieving reliable communication with high data rates in multiantenna systems.

Unicast

In computer networking, unicast is a one-to-one transmission from one point in the network to another point; that is, one sender and one receiver, each identified by a network address. Unicast is in contrast to multicast and broadcast which are one-to-many transmissions. Internet Protocol unicast delivery methods such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are typically used.

MIMO

In radio, multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) (ˈmaɪmoʊ,_ˈmiːmoʊ) is a method for multiplying the capacity of a radio link using multiple transmission and receiving antennas to exploit multipath propagation. MIMO has become an essential element of wireless communication standards including IEEE 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4), IEEE 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5), HSPA+ (3G), WiMAX, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). More recently, MIMO has been applied to power-line communication for three-wire installations as part of the ITU G.
