Capacity bounds for MIMO Poisson channels with inter-symbol interference

Abstract

We study multiple-access Poisson channels with multiple receivers. Each transmitter sends a sequence of modulated symbols, which may also be affected by inter-symbol interference. We derive some new formulas for the channel capacity, for the cases of both independent and coordinated transmission. We also provide some numerical results on the additional power required for efficient transmission due to the various sources of interference. © 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. Boston.
