Cellular system infrastructure deployment is becoming more heterogeneous including random deployment locations and more kinds of infrastructure. Using a mixture of macro, pico, and femto base stations, as well as fixed relay stations and distributed antennas, heterogeneous networks have the potential to break through the capacity bottleneck. While holding great promise, this potential has yet to be realized since the new infrastructure creates a different and challenging distributed interference environment.This research develops new mathematical tools to enable a simplified analysis of cellular systems exploiting concepts from stochastic geometry and random shapes, to model the impact of random interference source locations, accounting for important environmental considerations. It uses these tools to analyze and develop interference management strategies for different proposed technologies including small cell networks with heterogeneous interference and large cell networks with many antennas. A main theme in the analysis and algorithms is the use of antennas to avoid, cancel, align, and otherwise mitigate the effects of interference -- even with limited coordination possible among transmitters.Broader impacts of the proposed theory and algorithms are expected in diverse areas. The mathematical tools and fundamental theory will impact the understanding and design of communication systems taking into account the network geometry. The signal processing algorithms will pave the way for a new understanding of multiple antenna communication techniques. Industry impact will occur through the WICAT / Wireless Networking and Communications Group industrial affiliates incorporating research results into their wireless networking technologies. The project will foster the training of graduate students in course projects and will reach out to the community through public demonstrations.

蜂窝系统基础设施部署变得越来越异构，包括随机部署位置和更多种类的基础设施。混合使用宏基站、皮科和毫微微基站，以及固定中继站和分布式天线，异构网络具有突破容量瓶颈的潜力。虽然持有很大的希望，这种潜力还没有实现，因为新的基础设施创造了一个不同的和具有挑战性的分布式干扰environment.This研究开发新的数学工具，使一个简化的分析蜂窝系统利用随机几何和随机形状的概念，随机干扰源位置的影响建模，占重要的环境因素。它使用这些工具来分析和开发针对不同拟议技术的干扰管理策略，包括具有异构干扰的小小区网络和具有许多天线的大小区网络。在分析和算法的一个主要主题是使用天线来避免，消除，对齐，并以其他方式减轻干扰的影响-即使在有限的协调可能在transmitters.Broader的影响，所提出的理论和算法预计在不同的领域。数学工具和基础理论将影响考虑网络几何形状的通信系统的理解和设计。信号处理算法将为多天线通信技术的新理解铺平道路。行业影响将通过WICAT /无线网络和通信集团工业附属公司将研究成果纳入其无线网络技术中产生。该项目将在课程项目中促进对研究生的培训，并将通过公开示范向社区推广。
