in a fixed area want to communicate with each other. It is
well known that classical multihop architectures that decode
and forward packets can deliver at most a pn-scaling of the
aggregate throughput. The performance is limited by the mutual
interference between communicating nodes. We show however
that a linear scaling of the capacity with n can in fact be achieved
by more intelligent node cooperation and distributed MIMO
communication. The key ingredient is a hierarchical and digital
architecture for nodal exchange of information for realizing the
cooperation. |
