Abstract

An analytically tractable model for Gaussian multiuser channels with fading is studied, and the capacity region of this model is found to be a good approximation of the capacity region of the original Gaussian network. This work extends the existing body of work on deterministic models for Gaussian multiuser channels to include the physical phenomenon of fading. In particular, it generalizes these results to a unicast, multiple node network setting with fading.
