Interference may severely deteriorate performance in wireless communication. Han-Kobayashi scheme splits each user's signal into private and common information so that the receiver removes the other's common signal for partial interference cancellation. This paper proposes an optimal power allocation to private and common signals for Han-Kobayashi scheme by using required SNR in a private information only system. Numerical results show that the proposed power allocation is quite close to the optimal power allocation based on exhaustive searches.
