Summary:
In wireless systems such as cellular systems, frequency reuse is employed to extend the coverage area but this process introduces undesirable co-channel interference. A tradeoff must be made between increasing system capacity and transmission quality when planning, designing and deploying such wireless systems. In order to meet the explosive demand for high data rate wireless services for a growing population within a given geographical area, future wireless cellular networks will adopt smaller cells, such as femtocells, that are serviced by low-power base stations. As the deployment of femto-cellular base stations rapidly increases in the coming years, interference coordination and management will be the primary challenge in such heterogeneous networks. In this work, we derive a novel closed form expression for the cumulative distribution function CDF and coverage probability for a small cell wireless network operating in a Nakagami fading environment in the presence of Gaussian noise and impulsive interference modeled as an alpha-stable process. With these results, we can determine the probabilistic access thresholds that provide the best probable tradeoff between system capacity and network quality.
