In this paper, we consider Causal Cognitive Interference Channel (CC-IFC), wherein the cognitive user overhears the channel and exploits knowledge of the primary user's message from the causally received signals. We propose a coding scheme which combines Compress-and-Forward (CF) strategy with Marton coding with common information at the cognitive user. Rate splitting for messages at both transmitters is used to have a collaborative strategy. Moreover, the cognitive user compresses its channel observation using Wyner-Ziv coding and splits the index of its compressed signal. Then, the cognitive user having common information to both receivers and private information to each of them, jointly... 

In this paper, taking into account the effect of link delays, we investigate the capacity region of the cognitive interference channel (C-IFC), where cognition can be obtained from either causal or noncausal generalized feedback. For this purpose, we introduce the causal C-IFC with delay (CC-IFC-WD) in which the cognitive user's transmission can depend on L future received symbols as well as the past ones. We show that the CC-IFC-WD model is equivalent to a classical causal C-IFC (CC-IFC) with link delays. Moreover, CC-IFC-WD extends both genie-aided and causal cognitive radio channels and bridges the gap between them. First, we derive an outer bound on the capacity region for the arbitrary...
