The capacity of the two-user Gaussian cognitive interference channel, a variation of the classical interference channel where one of the transmitters has knowledge of both messages, is known in several parameter regimes but remains unknown in general. In this paper, we consider the following achievable scheme: the cognitive transmitter pre-codes its message against the interference created at its intended receiver by the primary user, and the cognitive receiver only decodes its intended message, similar to the optimal scheme for "weak interference"; the primary decoder decodes both messages, similar to the optimal scheme for "very strong interference". Although the cognitive message is pre-coded against the primary message, by decoding it, the primary receiver obtains information about its own message, thereby improving its rate. We show: (1) that this proposed scheme achieves capacity in what we term the "primary decodes cognitive" regime, i.e., a subset of the "strong interference" regime that is not included in the "very strong interference" regime for which capacity was known; (2) that this scheme is within one bit/s/Hz, or a factor two, of capacity for a much larger set of parameters, thus improving the best known constant gap result; (3) we provide insights into the trade-off between interference pre-coding at the cognitive encoder and interference decoding at the primary receiver based on the analysis of the approximate capacity results.
