Our contributions

Formally identify an MC-IS network.

Derive both the upper bounds and the constructive lower bounds of the capacity of an MC-IS network.

Find that the capacity of an MC-IS network contributed by ad hoc communications is mainly limited by four requirements.

Methodology overview

Derivation of Network Capacity Contributed by Ad Hoc Communications Upper bounds Lower bounds (constructive)

Derivation of Network Capacity Contributed by Infrastructure Communications Upper bounds Lower bounds (constructive)

To prove these bounds is non-trivial!

Constructive lower bounds

Tessellation

Bound the number of interfering nodes Apply channel models (path loss, interference,

shadowing) Determine the interference range

The size of cell needs to be satisfied

with connectivity constraintconnectivity constraint

Cell lattice

We must ensure the interference constraintinterference constraint is satisfied.

Design proper routing algorithms

Connect each source destination pair Si-Di

Design shorted routing path (almost straight lines)

Assign the proper number of routes at each node so that

(i) not too many routes

(ii) not too few routes

Design TDMA scheme to schedule interfering cells to be active one by one

Other contributions

Our proposed MC-IS network offers a more general theoretical framework than other existing networks.

Other networks such as an SC-AH network, an MC-AH network, and an SC-IS network can be regarded as special cases of our MC-IS network.
