title = "On the maximum common rate achievable in a coordinated network",
abstract = "We quantify the ultimate performance limits of inter-cell coordinatation in a cellular downlink network. The goal is to achieve fairness by maximizing the minimum rate in the network subject to per base power constraints. We first solve the max-min rate problem for a particular zero-forcing dirty paper coding scheme so as to obtain an achievable max-min rate, which serves as a lower bound on the ultimate limit. We then obtain a simple upper bound on the max-min rate of any scheme, and show that the rate achievable by the zero-forcing dirty paper coding scheme is close to this upper bound. We also extend our analysis to coordinated networks with multiple antennas.",
