Abstract

In the information-theoretic literature, multicell joint processing has been shown to produce high spectral efficiencies. However, the majority of existing results employ simplified models and normalized variables and in addition they consider only the sum-rate capacity, neglecting the individual user rates. In this paper, we investigate a realistic cellular model which incorporates flat fading, path loss and distributed users. Furthermore, the presented results are produced by varying the cell density of the cellular system, while practical values are used for system parameters, such as users per cell, transmitted power, path loss exponent. What is more, we study the effect of sum-rate maximization on the fairness of user rate distribution by comparing channel-dependent and random user orderings within the joint encoding/decoding process.
