Method and system for wireless design subject to interference constraints

Abstract

A wireless communication system experience interference from other wireless communication networks. A method for designing wireless communication systems subject to interference is proposed based on a realistic interference model which accounts for the propagation effects introduced by the wireless environment (such as path loss, shadowing, and multipath fading), and for the spatial scattering of transmitters (using a Poisson field). The method accounts for tradeoffs between network parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), interference-to-noise ratio (INR), path loss exponent, spatial density of the interferers, and error probability. Advantages of this method include: 1) a unified framework for designing a wireless system, subject to cumulative interference and noise, incorporating a wide range of performance metrics; and 2) a general application that covers a broad class of wireless communication systems and channel fading distributions.
