Analysis of Interference Correlation in Non-Poisson Networks

Understand

The correlation of interference has been well quantified in Poisson networks where the interferers are independent of each other.

• However, there exists dependence among the base stations (BSs) in wireless networks.
• In view of this, we quantify the interference correlation in non-Poisson networks where the interferers are distributed as a Matern cluster process (MCP) and a second-order cluster process (SOCP).
• Interestingly, it is found that the correlation coefficient of interference for the Matern cluster networks, $\zeta_{MCP}$, is equal to that for second-order cluster networks, $\zeta_{SOCP}$.
