Abstract
- Starting from the elemental $2\times 2\times 2$ interference channel, there has been much progress in the understanding of multihop multiflow wireless networks through degrees of freedom (DoF) studies that have produced important ideas such as (aligned) interference neutralization. However, much of this progress has been limited to layered connectivity models that are essentially motivated by the assumption that wireless networks can only operate in half-duplex mode. Motivated by recent breakthroughs in full-duplex radio technology, in this work, we expand the $2\times 2\times 2$ interference channel model beyond layered connectivity in order to study the impact of full-duplex operation. In particular, we study the impact of intra-layer connectivity between relays that are in the same layer, the impact of direct inter-layer connectivity between sources and destinations, and the impact of intermediate inter-layer connectivity that connects sources or destinations, not directly to each other, but to relay nodes in non-adjacent layers in a $2\times 2\times 2\times 2$ interference channel. We show that intra-layer links and intermediate inter-layer interference links do not cause a collapse of DoF, whereas direct interference links do cause a collapse of DoF. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
