Abstract :
We explore the available degrees of freedom (DoF) for the two user MIMO interference channel, and find a general inner bound and a genie aided outer bound that give us the exact # of DoF in many cases. We also study a share-and-transmit scheme and show how the gains of transmitter cooperation are entirely offset by the cost of enabling that cooperation so that the available DoF are not increased
