Hierarchical cooperation, introduced by Ozgur, Leveque and Tse showed that linear scaling is possible in wireless network capacity, asymptotically in network size. In this paper, we investigate the impact of absence of channel state information on the performance of hierarchical cooperation. If the product of coherence time and coherence bandwidth of the wireless channel is on the order of the number of nodes in the network, we show that non-coherent hierarchical cooperation achieves the same order rate as the coherent version. If the product is smaller than the number of nodes, we show that non-coherent hierarchical cooperation can still yield sizable gains over multihop communication, but may not achieve the same order rate as the coherent version.
