摘要

An asymptotic technique is presented to characterize the data rate (bits/symbol) achievable on a wireless link in a spatially distributed network with active interferers at correlated positions, N receive diversity branches, and linear Minimum-Mean-Square-Error (MMSE) receivers. This framework is then applied to systems including analogs to Matern type I and type II networks which are useful to model systems with Medium-Access Control (MAC), cellular uplinks with orthogonal transmissions and frequency reuse, and Boolean cluster networks. It is found that for our network models, with moderately large N, the correlation between interferer positions does not significantly influence the rate, resulting in simple approximations for the data rates achievable in such networks which are known to be difficult to analyze and for which only a few results are available. These results can help system designers to optimize parameters such as frequency reuse factors in cellular networks and understand the trade off between improved data rates and increased costs associated with increasing diversity orders for a wide range of system models.
