PhantomNet: Exploring Optimal Multicellular Multiple Antenna Systems

We present a network framework for evaluating the theoretical performance limits of wireless data communications. We address the problem of providing the best possible service to new users joining the system without affecting existing users. Since, interferencewise, new users are required to be invisible to existing users, the network is dubbed Phantom Net. The novelty is the generality obtained in this context. Namely, we can deal with multiple users, multiple antennas and multiple cells on both the uplink and the downlink.
