A centralized probing algorithm achieves maximum stability region.
Switching between IA and SVD techniques can enhance system stability.
Abstract
This paper characterizes the performance of interference alignment (IA) technique taking into account the dynamic traffic pattern and the probing/feedback cost. We consider a time-division duplex (TDD) system where transmitters acquire their channel state information (CSI) by decoding the pilot sequences sent by the receivers. Since global CSI knowledge is required for IA, the transmitters have also to exchange their estimated CSIs over a backhaul of limited capacity (i.e. imperfect case). Under this setting, we characterize in this paper the stability region of the system under both the imperfect and perfect (i.e. unlimited backhaul) cases, then we examine the gap between these two resulting regions. Further, under each case, we provide a centralized probing algorithm (policy) that achieves the max stability region. These stability regions and scheduling policies are given for the…
