Lattices are important as models for the node locations in wireless networks for two main reasons: (1) When network designers have control over the placement of the nodes, they often prefer a regular arrangement in a lattice for coverage and interference reasons. (2) If nodes are randomly distributed or mobile, good channel access schemes ensure that concurrent transmitters are regularly spaced, hence the locations of the transmitting nodes are well approximated by a lattice. In this paper, we introduce general interference bounding techniques that permit the derivation of tight closed-form upper and lower bounds for all lattice networks, and we present and analyze optimum or near-optimum channel access schemes for one-dimensional, square, and triangular lattices.
While a growing body of work studies interference in random networks (see, , @cite_2 @cite_4 and references therein), only few papers have addressed the issue of interference in lattice networks. In @cite_8 , bounds on the interference in triangular networks were derived using a relatively crude upper bound on the Riemann zeta function that is within 25 of @math to @math . We will derive a much tighter bound that is within 1.3 TDMA scheduling scheme for square lattices that is optimum for the case where the density of concurrent transmitters is @math is suggested in @cite_5 . Here, we provide near-optimum scheduling schemes for any density @math , @math . The interference distribution in one-dimensional networks with Rayleigh fading is analyzed in @cite_0 for the case where all nodes transmit, and @cite_1 derives outage results an throughput-optimum TDMA schedulers for the same type of network. Finally, the single-hop throughput for two-dimensional lattice networks with Rayleigh fading is approximated in @cite_6 . For non-fading channels, @cite_7 provides throughput results for general TDMA schemes in two-dimensional lattice networks. The interference is expressed using complicated infinite double sums (that are evaluated numerically), for which we will present tight bounds.

The equivalent-in-distribution (EiD)-based approach to the analysis of single-input-single-output (SISO) cellular networks for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels has recently been introduced [1]. Its rationale relies upon formulating the aggregate other-cell interference in terms of an infinite summation of independent and conditionally distributed Gaussian random variables (RVs). This approach leads to exact integral expressions of the error probability for arbitrary bi-dimensional modulations. In this paper, the EiD-based approach is generalized to the performance analysis of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) cellular networks for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels. The proposed mathematical formulation allows us to study a large number of MIMO arrangements, including receive-diversity, spatial-multiplexing, orthogonal space-time block coding, zero-forcing reception and zero-forcing precoding. Depending on the MIMO setup, either exact or approximate integral expressions of the error probability are provided. In the presence of other-cell interference and noise, the error probability is formulated in terms of a two-fold integral. In interference-limited cellular networks, the mathematical framework simplifies to a single integral expression. As a byproduct, the proposed approach enables us to study SISO cellular networks for transmission over Nakagami- @math fading channels. The mathematical analysis is substantiated with the aid of extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We consider a single cell wireless uplink in which randomly arriving devices transmit their payload to a receiver. Given SNR per user, payload size per device, a fixed latency constraint T, total available bandwidth W, i.e., total symbol resources is given by N = TW. The total bandwidth W is evenly partitioned into B bins. Each time slot of duration T is split into a maximum number of retransmission attempts M. Hence, the N resources are partitioned into N MB resources each bin per retransmission. We characterize the maximum average rate or number of Poisson arrivals that can successfully complete the random access procedure such that the probability of outage is sufficiently small. We analyze the proposed setting for i) noise-limited regime and ii) interference-limited regime. We show that in the noise-limited regime the devices share the resources, and in the interference-limited regime, the resources split such that devices do not experience any interference. We then incorporate Rayleigh fading to model the channel power gain distribution. Although the variability of the channel causes a drop in the number of arrivals that can successfully complete the random access phase, similar scaling results extend to the Rayleigh fading case. This paper surveys and unifies a number of recent contributions that have collectively developed a metric for decentralized wireless network analysis known as transmission capacity. Although it is notoriously difficult to derive general end-to-end capacity results for multi-terminal or adhoc networks, the transmission capacity (TC) framework allows for quantification of achievable single-hop rates by focusing on a simplified physical MAC-layer model. By using stochastic geometry to quantify the multi-user interference in the network, the relationship between the optimal spatial density and success probability of transmissions in the network can be determined, and expressed-often fairly simply-in terms of the key network parameters. The basic model and analytical tools are first discussed and applied to a simple network with path loss only and we present tight upper and lower bounds on transmission capacity (via lower and upper bounds on outage probability). We then introduce random channels (fading shadowing) and give TC and outage approximations for an arbitrary channel distribution, as well as exact results for the special cases of Rayleigh and Nakagami fading. We then apply these results to show how TC can be used to better understand scheduling, power control, and the deployment of multiple antennas in a decentralized network. The paper closes by discussing shortcomings in the model as well as future research directions. A generalization of the Gaussian dirty-paper problem to a multiple access setup is considered. There are two additive interference signals, one known to each transmitter but none to the receiver. The rates achievable using Costa's strategies (i.e. by a random binning scheme induced by Costa's auxiliary random variables) vanish in the limit when the interference signals are strong. In contrast, it is shown that lattice strategies ("lattice precoding") can achieve positive rates independent of the interferences, and in fact in some cases - which depend on the noise variance and power constraints - they are optimal. In particular, lattice strategies are optimal in the limit of high SNR. It is also shown that the gap between the achievable rate region and the capacity region is at most 0.167 bit. Thus, the dirty MAC is another instance of a network setup, like the Korner-Marton modulo-two sum problem, where linear coding is potentially better than random binning. Lattice transmission schemes and conditions for optimality for the asymmetric case, where there is only one interference which is known to one of the users (who serves as a "helper" to the other user), and for the "common interference" case are also derived. In the former case the gap between the helper achievable rate and its capacity is at most 0.085 bit.
