Descripción
Sumario:A two-user interference channel with energy harvesting transmitters, each equipped with a finite battery, is considered. Achievable rate regions (ARRs) considering independent and identically distributed Shannon strategies at both users and ignoring the memory in the battery state are obtained for both single-user decoding and joint decoding at the receivers. Explicit and implementable codes based on concatenation of a nonlinear trellis code (NLTC) with an outer low-density parity-check code are designed, and it is demonstrated that rate pairs close to the boundary of ARR can be obtained with this approach. Furthermore, an improved alternative decoding scheme which exploits the memory in the battery state is developed, and it is shown to be highly superior to the simple decoding approach via numerical examples. Superiority of the newly developed practical channel coding solutions over the previously known alternative approaches are illustrated via extensive set of examples as well.
