Abstract: Interference is a major issue limiting the performance in wireless networks. Cooperation among receivers can help mitigate interference by forming distributed MIMO systems. The rate at which receivers cooperate, however, is limited in most scenarios. How much interference can one bit of receiver cooperation mitigate? In this paper, we study the two-user Gaussian interference channel with conferencing decoders to answer this question in a simple setting. We identify two regions regarding the gain from receiver cooperation: linear and saturation regions. In the linear region receiver cooperation is efficient and provides a degrees-of-freedom gain, which is either one cooperation bit buys one more bit or two cooperation bits buy one more bit until saturation. In the saturation region receiver cooperation is inefficient and provides a power gain, which is at most a constant regardless of the rate at which receivers cooperate. The conclusion is drawn from the characterization of capacity region to within two bits. The proposed strategy consists of two parts: (1) the transmission scheme, where superposition encoding with a simple power split is employed, and (2) the cooperative protocol, where one receiver quantize-bin-and-forwards its received signal, and the other after receiving the side information decode-bin-and-forwards its received signal.
