Abstract

The transmission capacity of an ad-hoc network is the maximum density of active transmitters in an unit area, given an outage constraint at each receiver for a fixed rate of transmission. Assuming channel state information is available at the receiver, this paper presents bounds on the transmission capacity as a function of the number of antennas used for transmission, and the spatial receive degrees of freedom used for interference cancelation at the receiver. Canceling the strongest interferers, using a single antenna for transmission together with using all but one spatial receive degrees of freedom for interference cancelation is shown to maximize the transmission capacity. Canceling the closest interferers, using a single antenna for transmission together with using a fraction of the total spatial receive degrees of freedom for interference cancelation depending on the path loss exponent, is shown to maximize the transmission capacity.
