Abstract

We consider the problem of transmission over a relay version of the carbon-copying onto dirty paper. In this setup, additive Gaussian outside interferences corrupt both transmissions to the relay and to the destination; and only the source knows the interferences (in a noncausal manner). We first focus on the case of one interference corrupting both links; and then we focus on the case of two independent interferences. For each of these two models, we establish a lower bound on the channel capacity. The coding schemes for the lower bounds use techniques of dirty paper coding or carbon copying onto dirty paper, interference reduction at the source and decodeand-forward relaying. The results reveal that, by opposition to carbon copying onto dirty paper and its root Costa's initial dirty paper coding (DPC), it may be beneficial in our setup that the informed source uses a part of its power to partially cancel the effect of the interference so that the uninformed relay benefits from this cancellation, and so the source benefits in turn. The established results may be of importance for the emerging field of cooperation in presence of some cognitive radios that might be aware of some of other users messages intended to a common receiver.
