Abstract

Wireless communication Two-way communication Transmitters Array signal processing feedback in ad-hoc networks Receivers Bandwidth Interference Ad hoc networks transmission capacity
The transmission capacity of an ad-hoc network is the maximum density of active transmitters per unit area, given an outage constraint at each receiver for a fixed rate of transmission. Most prior work on finding the transmission capacity of ad-hoc networks has focused only on one-way communication where a source communicates with a destination and no data is sent from the destination to the source. In practice, however, two-way or bidirectional data transmission is required to support control functions like packet acknowledgements and channel feedback. This paper extends the concept of transmission capacity to two-way wireless ad-hoc networks by incorporating the concept of a two-way outage with different rate requirements in both directions. Tight upper and lower bounds on the two-way transmission capacity are derived for frequency division duplexing. The obtained bounds are used to derive the optimal solution for bidirectional bandwidth allocation that maximizes the two-way transmission capacity, which is shown to perform better than allocating bandwidth proportional to the desired rate in both directions. Using the proposed two-way transmission capacity framework, a lower bound on the two-way transmission capacity with transmit beamforming using limited feedback is derived as a function of bandwidth and the number of bits allocated for feedback.
