The Two-User Deterministic Interference Channel with Rate-Limited Feedback

Abstract: In this paper we study the effect of rate-limited feedback on the sum-rate capacity of the deterministic interference channel. We characterize the sum-rate capacity of this channel in the symmetric case and show that having feedback links can increase the sum-rate capacity by at most the rate of the available feedback. Our proof includes a novel upper-bound on the sum-rate capacity and a set of new achievability strategies.
