Abstract
Area spectral efficiency (ASE) was introduced as a metric to quantify the spectral efficiency of cellular systems. Unlike other performance metrics, ASE takes into account the spatial property of cellular wireless system. In this work, we generalize the ASE metric for arbitrary wireless transmission. Specifically, we introduce the concept of affected area, based on which we evaluate the spectral and power efficiency of three different transmission scenarios, namely single user point-to-point transmission, two-user X channel transmission and two-hop relay transmission. We show through mathematical analysis and numerical examples that the resulting generalized ASE serves as an attractive performance metric for future wireless communication systems.
