| dc.description | We analyze the performance of a system composed of two interfering point-to-point links where the transmitters can exploit a common relay to improve their individual transmission rate. When the relay uses the amplify-and-forward protocol we prove that it is not always optimal (in some sense defined later on) to exploit all the relay transmit power and derive the corresponding optimal amplification factor. For the case of the decode-and-forward protocol, already investigated in [1], we show that this protocol, through the cooperation degree between each transmitter and the relay, is the only one that naturally introduces a game between the transmitters. For the estimate-and-forward protocol, we derive two rate regions for the general case of discrete interference relay channels (IRCs) and specialize these results to obtain the Gaussian case; these regions correspond to two compression schemes at the relay, having different resolution levels. These schemes are compared analytically in some special cases. All the results mentioned are illustrated by simulations, given in this part, and exploited to study power allocation games in multi-band IRCs in the second part of this two-part paper. | |
