Interference Channels With Arbitrarily Correlated Sources
Communicating arbitrarily correlated sources over interference channels is considered in this paper. A sufficient condition is found for lossless transmission of a pair of correlated sources over a discrete memoryless interference channel. With independent sources, the sufficient condition reduces to the Han-Kobayashi achievable rate region for interference channels. For sources with a special correlation structure, the proposed region reduces to the known achievable region for interference channels with common information. Moreover, the proposed coding scheme is optimal for transmitting such set of correlated sources over a class of deterministic interference channels as defined in El Gamal and Costa, 1982.
