Joint Optimization of Area Spectral Efficiency and Delay Over PPP Interfered Ad-hoc Networks

Abstract: Due to the increasing demand on user data rates, future wireless communication networks require higher spectral efficiency. To reach higher spectral efficiencies, wireless network technologies collaborate and construct a seamless interconnection between multiple tiers of architectures at the cost of increased co-channel interference. To evaluate the performance of the co-channel transmission based communication, we propose a new metric for area spectral efficiency (ASE) of interference limited Ad-hoc network by assuming that the nodes are randomly distributed according to a Poisson point processes (PPP). We introduce a utility function, U = ASE/delay and derive the optimal ALOHA transmission probability p and the SIR threshold \tau that jointly maximize the ASE and minimize the local delay. Finally numerical results has been conducted to confirm that the joint optimization based on the U metric achieves a significant performance gain compared to conventional systems.
