We obtain Shannon-theoretic limits for a very simple cellular multiple-access system. In our model the received signal at a given cell site is the sum of the signals transmitted from within that cell plus a factor alpha (0 less-than-or-equal-to alpha less-than-or-equal-to 1) times the sum of the signals transmitted from the adjacent cells plus ambient Gaussian noise. Although this simple model is scarcely realistic, it nevertheless has enough meat so that the results yield considerable insight into the workings of real systems. We consider both a one-dimensional linear cellular array and the familiar two-dimensional hexagonal cellular pattern. The discrete-time channel is memoryless. We assume that N contiguous cells have active transmitters in the one-dimensional case, and that N2 contiguous cells have active transmitters in the two-dimensional case. There are K transmitters per cell. Most of our results are obtained for the limiting case as N --> infinity. The results include the following: (1) Define C(N), C(N) as the largest achievable rate per transmitter in the usual Shannon-theoretic sense in the one-and two-dimensional cases, respectively (assuming that all signals are jointly decoded). We find expressions for lim(N --> infinity) C(N) and lim(N --> infinity C(N). (2) As the interference parameter alpha increases from 0, C(N) and C(N) increase or decrease according to whether the signal-to-noise ratio is less than or greater than unity. (3) Optimal performance is attainable using TDMA within the cell, but using TDMA for adjacent cells is distinctly suboptimal. (4) We suggest a scheme which does not require joint decoding of all the users, and is, in many cases, close to optimal.
