Successive cancellation for cyclic interference channels

The Chong-Motani-Garg inner bound for the two-user interference channel is generalized to a special case of many-user interference channels. By taking a geometric viewpoint and using rate-splitting arguments, it is shown that all operating points in the Chong-Motani-Garg inner bound allow decoding by successive cancellation at all receivers.
