Cellular networks are usually modeled by placing the base stations on a grid, with mobile
users either randomly scattered or placed deterministically. These models have been used …

This paper presents an overview of the theory and currently known techniques for multi-cell
MIMO (multiple input multiple output) cooperation in wireless networks. In dense networks …

Cellular uplink analysis has typically been undertaken by either a simple approach that
lumps all interference into a single deterministic or random parameter in a Wyner-type …

Motivated by the ongoing discussion on coordinated multipoint in wireless cellular standard
bodies, this paper considers the problem of base station cooperation in the downlink of …

Cooperation is viewed as a key ingredient for interference management in wireless
networks. This paper shows that cooperation has fundamental limitations. First, it is …

The potentials of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) are all based on the
available instantaneous channel state information (CSI) at the base station (BS). Therefore …

When the joint processing technique is applied in the coordinated multipoint (CoMP)
downlink transmission, the user data for each mobile station needs to be shared among …

This paper studies the uplink of a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) where the cell sites
are connected to a cloud-computing-based central processor (CP) with noiseless backhaul …

The Wyner model has been widely used to model and analyze cellular networks due to its
simplicity and analytical tractability. Its key aspects include fixed user locations and the …

Base station cooperation improves the sum-rates that can be achieved in cellular systems.
Conventional cooperation techniques require sharing large amounts of information over …
