Link Layer Capacity of MIMO Ad Hoc Network with Noise Environment

MIMO Ad Hoc Networks are expected to provide broadband wireless service parallel to wired counterpart and may be replaced for emergency services. MIMO holds the significant promise to maximize the resource uses. In this paper, the channel capacity analysis is made based on a model MIMO Ad Hoc network assuming that each link occupies a geometric area that characterizes the amount of spatial resources occupied by a link. The amount of spatial resource of each link is considered with the interference effects that inflicts on other links. The link layer capacity is investigated here considering the noise effect for the above MIMO Ad Hoc Network employed in the noisy environment. The cumulative distribution function of signal to noise ratio with interference effect is calculated first and then throughput of the communication link is derived. Finally simulated results are shown considering different number of nodes. This result helps to find out number of active links and data rates within an area.
