Abstract :
Middleton´s class A interference model has properties that make it possible to represent a wide class of interference signals. By choice of model parameters, interference signals ranging from pure Gaussian distributed to pure impulsive interference can be modelled. These properties make the model very useful for a large variety of applications. However, an expression for the channel capacity of the class A interference channel has not yet been published. The channel capacity of this model is derived, and numerical examples are given for some useful sets of model parameters.
