v Channel Model v Lattice Structure
q The channel model is: The k-user GS-IFC.
q By using a simple lattice IA [Ordentlich et al. 2012]
the K-user GS-IFC case is approximately equivalent
to the 2-user case.
q In this work we consider the Nested lattice framework
[Ordentlich et al. 2012].
q A lattice is a discrete additive subgroup of , i.e.,
