Dependence Balance Based Outer Bounds for Gaussian Networks With Cooperation and Feedback

We obtain new outer bounds on the capacity regions of the two-user multiple access channel with generalized feedback (MAC-GF) and the two-user interference channel with generalized feedback (IC-GF). These outer bounds are based on the idea of dependence balance which was proposed by Hekstra and Willems. To illustrate the usefulness of our outer bounds, we investigate three different channel models.
