Aslan, Y. (author), Roederer, A.G. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The system effects and trade-offs of varying the minimal angular separation among multiple simultaneous co-frequency users are investigated for a high-capacity multibeam communication scenario. Through the statistical system simulations, it is demonstrated that the optimal (non-zero) value of the required separation depends on the base station...conference paper 2020
