Interference Avoidance and Multiaccess Vector Channels

In this paper we present application of interference avoidance in the context of a general multiple access vector channel model. We show that this monotonically increases sum capacity, and discuss algorithms for code division multiple access (CDMA) codeword optimization based on this procedure. A greedy interference avoidance algorithm for multiaccess vector channels is presented in the paper, for which we discuss convergence to a class of codeword ensembles that satisfy a simultaneous water filling solution and maximize sum capacity. Numerical results obtained from simulations that corroborate our analytical results are also presented.
