Abstract
In this paper, the interference channel with common information (ICC), in which two senders need deliver not only private messages but also certain common messages to their corresponding receivers, is investigated. An achievable rate region for such a channel is obtained by applying a superposition coding scheme that consists of successive encoding and simultaneous decoding. It is shown that the derived achievable rate region includes or extends several existing results for the interference channels with or without common information. The rate region is then specialized to a class of ICCs in which one sender has no private information to transmit, and a class of deterministic interference channels with common information (DICCs). In particular, the derived rate region is found to be the capacity region for this class of DICCs. Last, the achievable rate region derived for the discrete memoryless ICC is extended to the Gaussian case, in which a numerical example is provided to illustrate the improvement of our rate region over an existing result.Keywords
