Interference and throughput analyses in dual-polarized wireless networks subject to Rayleigh fading

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of the polarization on the achievable throughput and the probability of successful transmission in the cellular network architectures. A channel link model is proposed in the specific case of Rayleigh-faded communication links. More precisely, we propose a closed-form expression for the link probability of success with respect to the topology of the deployment and the channel characteristics. The per-node throughput is analyzed and the gain achieved by using two different polarization modes is discussed. It turns out that, for uniform random placement of the nodes in a scenario where two cellular networks are deployed on a same location, the diversity of polarization ensures that the networks can be operate as if they were disjoint.
