Cooperation in cellular networks is a promising scheme to improve system
performance. Existing works consider that a user dynamically chooses the
stations that cooperate for his/her service, but such assumption often has
practical limitations. Instead, cooperation groups can be predefined and
static, with nodes linked by fixed infrastructure. To analyze such a potential
network, we propose a grouping method based on node proximity. With the
Mutually Nearest Neighbour Relation, we allow the formation of singles and
pairs of nodes. Given an initial topology for the stations, two new point
processes are defined, one for the singles and one for the pairs. We derive
structural characteristics for these processes and analyse the resulting
interference fields. When the node positions follow a Poisson Point Process
(PPP) the processes of singles and pairs are not Poisson. However, the
performance of the original model can be approximated by the superposition of
two PPPs. This allows the derivation of exact expressions for the coverage
probability. Numerical evaluation shows coverage gains from different signal
cooperation that can reach up to 15% compared to the standard noncooperative
coverage. The analysis is general and can be applied to any type of cooperation
in pairs of transmitting nodes.Comment: 17 pages, double column, Appendices A-D, 9 Figures, 18 total
