Spectral efficiency of extended networks with randomly distributed transmitters and receivers

Abstract

We consider an extended wireless network with transmit and receive nodes homogeneously distributed in ℝ2. The channel state information (CSI) is known at the centralized processing unit at the receiver side but not at the transmitters which transmit at equal power. By extending the definition of Euclidean random matrices (ERM) and their spectral analysis to two independent sets of points, we determine an approximated expression of the average maximum achievable rate per unit area of the system.
