Multi-hop wireless networks with nodes capable of multi-packet reception (MPR) 
are considered. Relations between asymptotic throughput capacity of the network 
and end-to-end reliability are derived in terms of power and bandwidth resources
as well as the MPR capability of the nodes. It is also demonstrated that for 
spread spectrum networks calculated theoretic throughput and reliability can be 
closely approached using partitioned CDMA transmission and MPR receivers employing
a low-complexity two-stage iterative detection algorithm.
