Interference analysis for ad hoc networking over UTRA-TDD air interface

Ad hoc networking over UTRA-TDD protocol (A. Barnawi and J. G. Gardiner, Aug. 2003) (ANOUP) was introduced by our research group as a protocol to combine ad hoc networking with the fixed wireless infrastructure. The aim of that combination is to improve the capacity and coverage of the cellular system. In this paper we model the interference due to ad hoc networking over the fixed UTRA-TDD networks and we quantify the impact of ANOUP on the system. It was shown that coverage improvement of 100% is quite achievable.
