Abstract

One of the tools that arised in the context of capacity approximations is the linear deterministic model (LDM), which aims at approximating the physical channel by a deterministic bit vector mapping. In this paper, we give a brief review of the LDM and the corresponding models for some of the basic network building blocks. We then go on to demonstrate how the LDM can be applied to a two-user multiple access channel mutually interfering with a point to point link. This constitutes a basic model for a cellular channel and also for the situation of device-to-device communication inside a cell. We give the capacity region for weak interference, the sum capacity for arbitrary interference and apply the results to the Gaussian channel in order to obtain a lower bound on the achievable generalized degrees of freedom in the system.
