We obtain new outer bounds on the capacity regions of the two-user multiple access channel with generalized feedback (MAC-GF) and the two-user interference channel with generalized feedback (IC-GF). These outer bounds are based on the idea of dependence balance which was proposed by Hekstra and Willems [1]. To illustrate the usefulness of our outer bounds, we investigate three different channel models. We first consider a Gaussian MAC with noisy feedback (MAC-NF), where transmitter $k$, $k=1,2$, receives a feedback $Y_{F_{k}}$, which is the channel output $Y$ corrupted with additive white Gaussian noise $Z_{k}$. As the feedback noise variances become large, one would expect the feedback to become useless, which is not reflected by the cut-set bound. We demonstrate that our outer bound improves upon the cut-set bound for all non-zero values of the feedback noise variances. Moreover, in the limit as $\sigma_{Z_{k}}^{2}\to \infty$, $k=1,2$, our outer bound collapses to the capacity region of the Gaussian MAC without feedback. Secondly, we investigate a Gaussian MAC with user-cooperation (MAC-UC), where each transmitter receives an additive white Gaussian noise corrupted version of the channel input of the other transmitter [2]. For this channel model, the cut-set bound is sensitive to the cooperation noises, but not sensitive enough. For all non-zero values of cooperation noise variances, our outer bound strictly improves upon the cut-set outer bound. Thirdly, we investigate a Gaussian IC with user-cooperation (IC-UC). For this channel model, the cut-set bound is again sensitive to cooperation noise variances but not sensitive enough. We demonstrate that our outer bound strictly improves upon the cut-set bound for all non-zero values of cooperation noise variances.
