On the capacity modeling of multi-hop cellular packet CDMA networks

Abstract

Wireless multihop networks with a cellular structure have the potential to support high data rate traffic at a reasonable degree of implementation complexity. We consider a cellular network architecture composed of base stations, routers, and terminals and focus on its throughput modeling. Simply adding routers to the current cellular networks may not improve the throughput, since relaying the packets by routers may generate the same amount of interference at the receivers. We derive a closed form formula for the probability density function of interference at each receiver and compare the numerical and simulation results for different path loss parameters.
