The increasing complexity of communication networks in size and density provides us enormous opportunities to exploit interaction among multiple nodes, thus enabling higher date rate of data streams. On the flip side, however, this complexity comes with challenges in managing interference that multiple source-destination pairs in the network may cause to each other. In this dissertation, we make progress on how we exploit the opportunities, as well as how we overcome the challenges. In the first part, we find that feedback - one of the common ways to enable interaction in networks - has a promising role in improving the capacity performance of networks. Earlier results on feedback capacity were somewhat discouraging. This is mainly due to Shannon's original result on feedback capacity where he showed that in point-to-point communication, feedback does not increase capacity. Hence, traditionally it is believed that feedback has had little impact on increasing capacity of communication links. Therefore, the use of feedback has been limited to improving the reliability of communications, usually in the form of ARQ. In this dissertation, we show that in stark contrast to the point-to-point case, feedback can improve the capacity of interference-limited network. In fact, the improvement can be unbounded. This result shows that feedback can have a potentially significant role to play in mitigating interference. Also in the process of deriving this conclusion, we characterize the feedback capacity of the two-user Gaussian interference channel to within 2 bits, one of the longstanding open problems in network information theory. In the second part, we propose a new interference management technique for widely deployed cellular networks. Inspired by a recent breakthrough, the concept of interference alignment, we develop an interference alignment technique for cellular networks. Our technique promises almost interference-free communication with the increase of the number of clients in cellular networks. It shows substantial gain (around 30% to 60%) as compared to one of the interference management techniques in current cellular systems. In addition, it comes with implementation benefits: it can actually be implemented with small changes to emerging 4G cellular standards and architectures at the base-stations and clients. In particular, the required signal-processing circuitry, software control, and channel-state feedback mechanisms are extensions of existing implementations and standards. Lastly, we extend the interference alignment principle, developed in the context of wireless networks, into other fields of network research such as storage networks. In an effort to protect information against node failures, storage networks employ coding techniques, such as maximum distance separable (MDS) erasure codes, known as optimal codes in reliability with respect to redundancy. However, these MDS codes come with prohibitive maintenance cost when it comes to repairing failed storage nodes. While only partial information stored in the failed node needs to be recovered, the conventional MDS codes focus on the complete data recovery (including unwanted data, corresponding to interference) by downloading too much information from survivor storage encoded nodes, thus causing the high repair cost. Building on the connection between wireless and wireline networks, we leverage the interference alignment principle to develop a new class of MDS codes that significantly reduces the repair cost over the conventional MDS codes and also achieves information-theoretic optimal bound on the repair cost for all admissible code parameters.

Wireless networks are increasingly interference-limited, which motivates the development of sophisticated interference management techniques. One recently discovered approach is interference alignment, which attains the maximum sum rate scaling (with signal-to-noise ratio) in many network configurations. Interference alignment is not yet well understood from an engineering perspective. Such design considerations include (i) partial rather than complete knowledge of channel state information, (ii) correlated channels, (iii) bursty packet-based network traffic that requires the frequent setup and tear down of sessions, and (iv) the spatial distribution and interaction of transmit/receive pairs. This dissertation aims to establish the benefits and limitations of interference alignment under these four considerations. The first contribution of this dissertation considers an isolated group of transmit/receiver pairs (a cluster) cooperating through interference alignment and derives the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio distribution at each receiver for each stream. This distribution is used to compare interference alignment to beamforming and spatial multiplexing (as examples of common transmission techniques) in terms of sum rate to identify potential switching points between them. This dissertation identifies such switching points and provides design recommendations based on severity of the correlation or the channel state information uncertainty. The second contribution considers transmitters that are not associated with any interference alignment cooperating group but want to use the channel. The goal is to retain the benefits of interference alignment amid interference from the out-of-cluster transmitters. This dissertation shows that when the out-of-cluster transmitters have enough antennas, they can access the channel without changing the performance of the interference alignment receivers. Furthermore, optimum transmit filters maximizing the sum rate of the out-of-cluster transmit/receive pairs are derived. When insufficient antennas exist at the out-of-cluster transmitters, several transmit filters that trade off complexity and sum rate performance are presented. The last contribution, in contrast to the first two, takes into account the impact of large scale fading and the spatial distribution of the transmit/receive pairs on interference alignment by deriving the transmission capacity in a decentralized clustered interference alignment network. Channel state information uncertainty and feedback overhead are considered and the optimum training period is derived. Transmission capacity of interference alignment is compared to spatial multiplexing to highlight the tradeoff between channel estimation accuracy and the inter-cluster interference; the closer the nodes to each other, the higher the channel estimation accuracy and the inter-cluster interference.

Wireless systems in which multiple users simultaneously access the propagation medium suffer from co-channel interference. Untreated interference limits the total amount of data that can be communicated reliably across the wireless links. If interfering users allocate a portion of the system's resources for information exchange and coordination, the effect of interference can be mitigated. Interference alignment (IA) is an example of a cooperative signaling strategy that alleviates the problem of co-channel interference and promises large gains in spectral efficiency. To enable alignment in practical wireless systems, channel state information (CSI) must be shared both efficiently and accurately. In this dissertation, I develop low-overhead CSI feedback strategies that help networks realize the information-theoretic performance of IA and facilitate its adoption in practical systems. The developed strategies leverage the concepts of analog, digital, and differential feedback to provide IA networks with significantly more accurate and affordable CSI when compared to existing solutions. In my first contribution, I develop an analog feedback strategy to enable IA in multiple antenna systems; multiple antennas are one of IA's key enabling technologies and perhaps the most promising IA use case. In my second contribution, I leverage temporal correlation to improve CSI quantization in limited feedback single-antenna systems. The Grassmannian differential strategy developed provides several orders of magnitude in CSI compression and ensures almost-perfect IA performance in various fading scenarios. In my final contribution, I complete my practical treatment of IA by revisiting its performance when CSI acquisition overhead is explicitly accounted for. This last contribution settles the viability of IA, from a CSI acquisition perspective, and demonstrates the utility of the proposed feedback strategies in transitioning interference alignment from theory to practice.

In this thesis, we study the stream selection based interference alignment (IA) algorithms, which can provide large multiplexing gain, to deal with the interference in the heterogeneous networks. Firstly, different deployment scenarios for the pico cells are investigated assuming perfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters.Two different stream selection IA algorithms are proposed for fully and partially connected interference networks and selecting at least one stream is guaranteed for each user. A stream sequence is selected among a predetermined set of sequences that mostly contribute to the sum-rate while performing an exhaustive search. In the proposed algorithms, the complexity of the exhaustive search is significantly decreased while keeping the performance relatively close. After selecting a stream, the interference generated between the selected and the unselected streams is aligned by orthogonal projections. Then, the influence of the imperfect CSI on the proposed algorithms is analyzed and it is observed that the intra-stream interference causes a significant degradation in the performance due to the quantization error. Therefore, we propose an algorithm for the limited feedback scheme. Finally, adaptive bit allocation schemes are presented to maximize the overall capacity for all the proposed algorithms. The performance evaluations are carried out considering different scenarios with different number and placements of pico cells. It is shown that the proposed algorithm for the limited feedback is more robust to channel imperfections compared to the existing IA algorithms.

This SpringerBrief presents interference coordination techniques for future 5G cellular networks. Starting with an overview of existing interference management techniques, it focuses on practical interference coordination schemes based on beamforming and user scheduling. The proposed schemes aim to deal with the inter-cell interference in multi-cell MIMO networks, cross-tier interference in device-to-device communications underlaying cellular network, and inter-network interference in cognitive radio networks. The performances of the proposed schemes are evaluated both analytically and numerically in terms of several performance parameters, including the sum rate, multiplexing gain, and outage probability of the networks. The results show that the proposed schemes can significantly reduce the effect of interference and improve the quality of service of the networks. Interference Coordination for 5G Cellular Networks is suitable for researchers and advanced students interested in interference coordination or 5G cellular networks.
