Abstract

We consider a noncoherent wireless network, where the transmitters and receivers are cognizant of the statistics of the fading coefficients, but are ignorant of their realizations. We demonstrate that if the nodes do not cooperate, if they transmit symbols that all follow the same distribution, and if the variances of the fading coefficients decay exponentially or more slowly, then the channel capacity is bounded in the SNR. This confirms a similar result by Lozano, Heath, and Andrews.
