We study an interference network where equally-numbered transmitters and receivers lie on two parallel lines, each transmitter opposite its intended receiver. We consider two short-range interference models: the "asymmetric network," where the signal sent by each transmitter is interfered only by the signal sent by its left neighbor (if present), and a "symmetric network," where it is interefered by both its left and its right neighbors. Each transmitter is cognizant of its own message, the messages of the t ℓ transmitters to its left, and the messages of the t r transmitters to its right. Each receiver decodes its message based on the signals received at its own antenna, at the r ℓ receive antennas to its left, and the r r receive antennas to its right.For such networks we provide upper and lower bounds on the multiplexing gain, i.e., on the high-SNR asymptotic logarithmic growth of the sum-rate capacity. In some cases our bounds meet, e.g., for the asymmetric network.Our results exhibit an equivalence between the transmitter side-information parameters t ℓ , t r and the receiver side-information parameters r ℓ , r r in the sense that increasing/decreasing t ℓ or t r by a positive integer δ has the same effect on the prelog as increasing/decreasing r ℓ or r r by δ. Moreover-even in asymmetric networks-there is an equivalence between the left side-information parameters t ℓ , r ℓ and the right side-information parameters t r , r r .
