On the capacity of regular wireless networks with transceiver multipacket communication

In a wireless network with a sophisticated physical layer, the nodes may be capable of simultaneous multiple packet receptions (MPR) and multiple packet transmissions (MPT). Having multiple reception/transmission codes in a CDMA network, or employing directed antenna arrays are some ways of obtaining MPR/T capability. Although, MPR/T is widely considered in the context of communication with a base station in cellular wireless networks, its effect on the performance of peer-to-peer ad hoe networks is unknown. By developing upper and lower bounds, we analyze the effect of physical layer MPR/T capability on the capacity of regular wireless networks. The obtained bounds give the exact capacity value if the nodes do not have MPT but have MPR.
