Free Space Attenuation and Throughput in a Wireless Mobile Network Using Successive Interference Cancellation with Power Randomization

Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) with Power Randomization (SPR) is simulated for a fully meshed wireless network whose nodes may be stationary and equidistant or mobile within a circumscribed area. When the power level differences are just sufficient to allow multi-user detection with equidistant nodes, the introduction of mobility is found to reduce throughput. However when power level differences are dilated, the adverse effect on throughput is not only reduced but reversed when considering group averages over long intervals.
