CTH13-3: Symmetric Rate Capacity of Cellular Systems with Cooperative Base Stations

Abstract
Cooperation among base stations has demonstrated substantial capacity gain in cellular systems. The optimal transmission scheme under full base station cooperation requires all users to transmit simultaneously and a central joint receiver for multi-user detection. We consider some sub-optimal but more practical schemes of orthogonal channel access either within a cell (intra-cell TDMA) or among cells (inter-cell time sharing), which correspond to a partitioning of overall channel resources. The effects of various schemes on the uplink capacity of a cellular system are then compared for a modified Wyner model.
