A Deterministic Model for Wireless Channels and its Aplications

Gaussian channels are commonly used models for multiuser wireless communication. Unfortunately, the capacity of multiuser Gaussian channels are unknown even for simple networks such as the single-relay channel and the two-user interference channel. To make further progress in understanding how to optimally communicate over these and more general networks, we propose an alternative and simpler deterministic channel model which focuses on the interaction between the users rather than the noise in the system.
