TL;DR
This paper introduces a neural network-based approach to dirty paper coding that operates without prior knowledge of channel or interference statistics, demonstrating effective interference cancellation and outperforming traditional methods in various scenarios.
Contribution
It presents the first interpretable learning-based DPC scheme that learns nonlinear mappings for interference pre-cancellation without prior statistical assumptions.
Findings
Learning-based DPC recovers features of classical solutions like THP and lattice coding.
The proposed method outperforms traditional schemes in multiple regimes.
The approach is interpretable and does not require prior knowledge of channel or interference statistics.
Abstract
Dirty paper coding (DPC) is a classical problem in information theory that considers communication in the presence of channel state known only at the transmitter. While the theoretical impact of DPC has been substantial, practical realizations of DPC, such as Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) or lattice-based schemes, often rely on specific modeling assumptions about the input, state and channel. In this work, we explore whether modern learning-based approaches can offer a complementary path forward by revisiting the DPC problem. We propose a data-driven solution in which both the encoder and decoder are parameterized by neural networks. Our proposed model operates without prior knowledge of the state (also referred to as "interference"), channel or input statistics, and recovers nonlinear mappings that yield effective interference pre-cancellation. To the best of our knowledge, this…
