The interference channel is a research area in the field of information theory and communication systems. It deals with the study of communication channels in which multiple transmitters and receivers cause interference to each other, thereby affecting the overall communication performance. The main goal of research in the interference channel is to find strategies and techniques to mitigate and manage the interference in order to improve the capacity and reliability of communication systems. This area of study is important in developing efficient communication protocols for wireless networks, cellular systems, and other multi-user communication scenarios.
