Spectrum sharing is known as a key solution to accommodate the increasing number of users and the growing demand for throughput in wireless networks. Interference is the primary barrier to enhancing the overall throughput of the network, especially in the medium and high signal to noise ratios (SNRs). Managing interference to overcome this barrier has emerged as a crucial step in developing efficient wireless networks. An interference management strategy, named interference Alignment, is investigated. It is observed that a single strategy is not able to achieve the maximum throughput in all possible scenarios, and in fact, a careful design is required to fully exploit all available resources in each realization of the system. In this dissertation, the impact of interference on the capacity of X networks with multiple antennas is investigated. Degrees of freedom (DoF) are used as a figure of merit to evaluate the performance improvement due to the interference management schemes. A new interference alignment technique called layered interference alignment, which enjoys the combined benefits of both vector and real alignment is introduced in this thesis. This technique, which uses a type of Diophantine approximation theorems first introduced by the author, is deployed and was proved to enable the possibility of joint decoding among the antennas of a receiver. With a careful transmitter signal design, this method characterizes the total DoF of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) X channels. Then, this result is used to determine the total DoF of two families of MIMO X channels. The Diophantine approximation theorem is also extended to the field of complex numbers to accommodate the complex channel realizations as well.

Topological Interference Management (TIM) allows studying the Degrees of Freedom (DoF) of partially connected linear interference communication networks, where the Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT) is restricted to the topology of the network, i.e., a knowledge of which interference links are weak and which are strong. In this thesis, we consider TIM for infinite downlink cellular networks in the one-dimensional (1D) linear and the two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal models. We consider uniformly distributed users in each cellular cell, effectively creating a continuous distribution of users, aiming to study user classes based on different interference profiles rather than on actual individual users' positions. We also consider the construction of the TIM network topology by analyzing different interference thresholds. Unlike previous works, we use TIM at the user class level to find the system's DoF independent of the actual user position. Then, after proposing a fractional coloring scheme that can achieve the optimal DoF solution, a trade-off between DoF and Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) is given. This thesis also presents a new approach to construct an interference topology for the unicast TIM problem of multi-user wireless networks. Based on our interference topology construction approach, we are able to evaluate the achievable rate's theoretical limit, in the asymptotic Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) regime, for the underlying wireless network and not just for its topological interference representation. This new approach allows us to cope with the finite SNR regime and not just with the asymptotic SNR regime with the DoF analysis. A new SNR independent interference threshold parameter is proposed and we evaluate the achievable symmetric rates of the wireless network in both the finite SNR regime and the asymptotic SNR regime. Then, we present outer bound solutions on the new normalized interference threshold parameter for interference topologies with half-DoF-feasibility, considering both an orthogonal resource allocation and Interference Alignment (IA). These bounds specify if a given half-DoF-feasible interference topology can be, in terms of the achievable rate, the best topology or not. Using this result, we limit the search space in the normalized interference threshold parameter range, to find half-DoF-feasible interference topologies having the possibility to be the best topologies in terms of the achievable rate. Finally, this thesis considers a case study on TIM for small-scale wireless networks, in which, we consider the TIM problem for four users wireless networks using our proposed interference topology construction approach. Then, we apply the achievable rates analysis, proposed under the new interference topology construction approach, for all interference topologies with half-DoF-feasibility, through both orthogonal sharing and IA, in the TIM problem of four users wireless networks.

Learn about an information-theoretic approach to managing interference in future generation wireless networks. Focusing on cooperative schemes motivated by Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) technology, the book develops a robust theoretical framework for interference management that uses recent advancements in backhaul design, and practical pre-coding schemes based on local cooperation, to deliver the increased speed and reliability promised by interference alignment. Gain insight into how simple, zero-forcing pre-coding schemes are optimal in locally connected interference networks, and discover how significant rate gains can be obtained by making cell association decisions and allocating backhaul resources based on centralized (cloud) processing and knowledge of network topology. Providing a link between information-theoretic analyses and interference management schemes that are easy to implement, this is an invaluable resource for researchers, graduate students and practicing engineers in wireless communications.

Multi-hop communication paradigms are expected to play a central role in future wireless networks by enabling a higher spatial reuse of the spectrum. A major challenge in multi-hop multi-user (or multi-flow) wireless networks is that "interference management" and "relaying" are coupled with each other. In other words, wireless relay nodes must play a dual role: they serve as intermediate steps for multi-hop communication and as part of the mechanism that allows interference management schemes. Nonetheless, in the communications, networking and information theory literature, these two tasks have traditionally been addressed separately, and the fundamental principles of the "wireless networks of the future" are currently not well understood. In this monograph, we take a unified approach to relaying and interference management, and seek to develop tools to study the fundamentals of multi-hop multi-flow wireless networks.

This brief investigates the role of interference management in Heterogeneous Networks (Het Nets), focusing on cognitive approaches and the use of beamforming. Key concepts of Het Nets are introduced and different deployment strategies are examined, such as sharing the same frequency band of the macro cells or using new high frequency bands. Particular attention is devoted to co-channel deployment and to the problem of interference management, addressing various strategies that can be adopted to handle the interference between the cells. In addition, the brief explores cognitive small cells which are able to avoid or limit interference by using suitable beamforming and resource allocation schemes. The suggested solutions are supported by numerical results in terms of performance evaluations and comparisons.

Broadcast spectrum is scarce, both in terms of our ability to access existing spectrum and as a result of access rules created by governments. An emerging paradigm called cognitive radio, however, has the potential to allow different systems to dynamically access and opportunistically exploit the same frequency band in an efficient way, thereby allowing broadcasters to use spectrum more efficiently. Cognitive Radio and Interference Management: Technology and Strategy brings together state-of-the-art research results on cognitive radio and interference management from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It serves as a bridge between people who are working to develop theoretical and practical research in cognitive radio and interference management, and therefore facilitate the future development of cognitive radio and its applications.

Spectrum Sharing in Wireless Networks: Fairness, Efficiency, and Security provides a broad overview of wireless network spectrum sharing in seven distinct sections: The first section examines the big picture and basic principles, explaining the concepts of spectrum sharing, hardware/software function requirements for efficient sharing, and future trends of sharing strategies. The second section contains more than 10 chapters that discuss differing approaches to efficient spectrum sharing. The authors introduce a new coexistence and sharing scheme for multi-hop networks, describe the space-time sharing concept, introduce LTE-U, and examine sharing in broadcast and unicast environments. They then talk about different cooperation strategies to achieve mutual benefits for primary users (PU) and secondary users (SU), discuss protocols in a spectrum sharing context, and provide different game theory models between PUs and SUs. The third section explains how to model the interactions of PUs and SUs, using an efficient calculation method to determine spectrum availability. Additionally, this section explains how to use scheduling models to achieve efficient SU traffic delivery. The subject of the fourth section is MIMO-oriented design. It focuses on how directional antennas and MIMO antennas greatly enhance wireless network performance. The authors include a few chapters on capacity/rate calculations as well as beamforming issues under MIMO antennas. Power control is covered in the fifth section which also describes the interference-aware power allocation schemes among cognitive radio users and the power control schemes in cognitive radios. The sixth section provides a comprehensive look at security issues, including different types of spectrum sharing attacks and threats as well as corresponding countermeasure schemes. The seventh and final section covers issues pertaining to military applications and examines how the military task protects its data flows when sharing the spectrum with civilian applications.
