📝 Abstract
We determine the capacity region of a two-user binary interference channel with receiver-controlled observation and prove that causal port selection attains the interference-free limit. The physical--observation dual-axis formulation makes the observation kernel a design variable subject to explicit causal and resource constraints. For two equiprobable, initially unknown block states, matching converses and coding constructions give exact sum capacities of 1, $4/3$, and 2 bits per channel use for fixed-port, open-loop, and causal policies, respectively. These results hold for every fixed joint error threshold below $1/2$, under both average and maximal message error, with error averaged over the block state. Every receiver makes one observation per slot and switches ports at most once; the transmitters receive no feedback and the receivers do not cooperate. Causal observation thus doubles the optimal fixed-port sum capacity and exceeds the optimal open-loop sum capacity by 50\%. With independent erasures of retention probability $p$, the exact causal region is $[0,p]^2$. A finite-blocklength bound accounts jointly for state-identification pilots and coding redundancy. We also optimize observation policies for fixed codes: an exact finite-horizon solution reduces message error from 10.76\% to 7.52\%, and a second-order approximation bound controls optimization over continuous observation directions. Linear-array designs and coding experiments examine the corresponding training, reliability, and control costs. The capacity result identifies a setting in which observation design removes the entire interference penalty, with the gain established by a converse as well as an achievable construction.
