We show that under minimal conditions on the attenuation due to the environment and for networks with a constant density of users, this rate tends to zero as the number of users gets large.NCCR-MICSNCCR-MICS/CL1Information-Theoretic Upper Bounds on the Capacity of Large Extended Ad Hoc Wireless Networkstext::journal::journal article::research article
