Spatial Graph Coupling for Wireless Communications

A novel approach to information transmission over multi-terminal channels is proposed. In this approach, the information is transmitted in the form of multiple independent data streams that couple in the wireless channel into structures that can be decoded using a low-complexity iterative receiver allowing for a simple implementation. Our recent results prove that the proposed technique achieves the capacity of the Gaussian multiple-access channel even for the case of equal rate and power transmissions providing a nearly universal way for joint decoding of signals. The objective of the project is to utilize the novel modulation format to establish practical algorithms for communication over multi-terminal channels in which a group of terminals communicates to another group of terminals utilizing coordination and cooperation for transmission and reception of signals. Terminal cooperation provides a possibility to substantially increase network throughput without relying exclusively on the costly bandwidth and power resources.
