Abstract
With increasing spatial reuse of the radio spectrum, co-channel
interference is becoming a dominant noise source and may severely
degrade the communication performance of wireless transceivers.
In this paper, we consider the problem of statistical-physical modeling
of co-channel interference from an annular field of Poisson or
Poisson-Poisson cluster distributed interferers.
Poisson and Poisson-Poisson cluster processes are commonly used to
model interferer distributions in large wireless networks without
and with interferer clustering, respectively.
Further, by considering the interferers distributed over a parametric
annular region, we derive the interference statistics for finite- and
infinite-area interference region with and without a guard zone
around the receiver.
Statistical modeling of interference is a useful tool to analyze
outage probabilities in wireless networks and design
interference-aware transceivers.
Our contributions include
- developing a unified framework for deriving interference models
for various wireless network environments,
- demonstrating the applicability of the symmetric alpha stable
and Gaussian mixture (with Middleton Class A as a particular
form) distributions in modeling co-channel interference, and
- deriving analytical conditions on the system model parameters
for which these distributions accurately model the statistical
properties of the interference.
Practical applications include co-channel interference modeling for
various wireless network environments, including wireless ad hoc,
cellular, local area, and femtocell networks.
