Interference
Alignment is a new and exciting technique that promises tremendous
throughput gains for wireless systems. For a 50 user system, it can
improve the throughput by 2400% (25 times) that of current schemes.
This seems almost too good to be true. In this talk, we cover both the
theory and the practical implementation aspects of interference
alignment. We show that alignment can be practically implemented even
without channel state information, and a substantial fraction of the
theoretical gains can be realized in real-time systems.
