Capacity bounds for relay-aided wireless multiple multicast with backhaul

Abstract

We investigate the capacity bounds for relay-aided two-source two-destination wireless networks with backhaul support between source nodes. Each source multicasts its own message to all destinations with the help of an intermediate relay node, which is full-duplex and shared by both sources. We are aiming to characterize the capacity region of this model given discrete memoryless Gaussian channels. We establish three capacity upper bounds by relaxing the cut-set bound, and by extending two capacity bounds originally derived for MIMO relay channels. We also present one lower bound by using decoding-and-forward relaying combined with network beam-forming.
