Broadcast Network Coverage with Multicell Cooperation

Broadcast Network Coverage with Multicell Cooperation

Multicell cooperation has been identified as one of the underlying principles for future wireless communication systems. This paper studies the benefits of multicell cooperation in broadcast TV network from an information theoretical perspective. We define outage capacity as the figure of merit and derive the broadcast coverage area to evaluate such system. Specifically, we calculate the broadc...

Robust Multicell Cooperation in MIMO-OFDMA Networks

In future communication systems, the constraint of resource allocation is a challenging topic. The cell edge users in wireless systems experience low Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) due to the high InterCell Interference (ICI) and cannot fully benefit from Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) multi-stream transmission capability. In this project, a practical approach to the multi...

Multicell CDMA network design

Traditional design rules for cellular networks are not directly applicable to code division multiple access (CDMA) networks where intercell interference is not mitigated by cell placement and careful frequency planning. For transmission quality requirements, a minimum signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) must be achieved. The base-station location, its pilot-signal power (which determines the siz...

On State Dependent Broadcast Channels with Cooperation

In this paper, we investigate problems of communication over physically degraded, state-dependent broadcast channels (BCs) with cooperating decoders. Two different setups are considered and their capacity regions are characterized. First, we study a setting in which one decoder can use a finite capacity link to send the other decoder information regarding the messages or the channel states. In ...
