An asymptotic technique is developed to find the Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratio (SINR) and spectral efficiency of a link with N receiver antennas in wireless networks with non-homogeneous distributions of nodes. It is found that with appropriate normalization, the SINR and spectral efficiency converge with probability 1 to asymptotic limits as N increases. This technique is applied to networks with power-law node intensities, which includes homogeneous networks as a special case, to find a simple approximation for the spectral efficiency. It is found that for receivers in dense clusters, the SINR grows with N at rates higher than that of homogeneous networks and …

We find an asymptotic expression for the average signal to interference ratio (SIR) between a transmitter with a single isotropic antenna and a multi-antenna linear receiver in the presence of interferers with single isotropic transmit antennas distributed uniformly on an infinite plane. The channels are modeled as complex Gaussian random variables with average received power dependent on the distance separating nodes. We find that in large networks, the average SIR for a representative link depends primarily on the ratio of the number of receive antenna elements to the area density of interferers. Furthermore for our network model, the SIR grows …

In this paper, the optimal spectral efficiency (data rate divided by the message bandwidth) that minimizes the probability of causing disruptive interference for ad hoc wireless networks or cognitive radios is investigated. Two basic problem constraints are considered: a given message size, or fixed data rate. Implicitly, the trade being optimized is between longer transmit duration and wider bandwidth versus higher transmit power. Both single-input single-output (SISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) links are considered. Here, a link optimizes its spectral efficiency to be a “good neighbor.” The probability of interference is characterized by the probability that the signal power received …

The performance of single-hop links in ad-hoc wireless systems using direct-sequence (DS) code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) with random signature sequences and linear minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) receivers is investigated. Expressions for the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) and spectral efficiency (b s-1 Hz-1 link-1) were derived for a representative link in the presence of interferers distributed randomly on a plane with uniform area density p interferers m-2. Nodes transmit with equal power P, which decays with distance r as r-alpha. An expression for the optimum spreading factor given system parameters is also provided. It is found that for …
