For a K-user interference channel, the degree of freedom (DoF) which can be achieved through interference alignment (IA) is constrained to signal space dimension governed by the number of Tx/Rx antennas. To overcome this problem, IA can be combined with interference cancellation (IC), involving a new receiver architecture associated with signaling over backhaul links among the different users, as another interference mitigation scheme which is referred to as interference alignment and cancellation (IAC). In our earlier work, by proposing an IAC graph, we have derived the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of closed-form solutions for IAC subject to the given DoF requirement for individual user. Furthermore, we have also shown that it can achieve the theoretically maximum possible DoF, which is 2M for MIMO system with M Tx/Rx antennas. Following our previous works on IAC, we aim to investigate the design criteria to obtain such closed-form transceivers when they exist. We first develop a general closed-form IAC transceiver design for any given DoF requirement of individual user and then, we specify how the optimal IAC transceiver can be designed to achieve the theoretically maximum DoF of 2M , beating the performance of conventional IA with much less computational complexity.Index Terms-Multiple input multiple output (MIMO), interference alignment (IA), interference alignment and cancellation (IAC), interference channel, transceiver design, degree of freedom.
