A Semianalytical PDF of Downlink SINR for Femtocell Networks

This paper presents a derivation of the probability density function (PDF) of the signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) for the downlink of a cell in multicellular networks. The mathematical model considers uncoordinated locations and transmission powers of base stations (BSs) which reflect accurately the deployment of randomly located femtocells in an indoor environment. The derivation is semianalytical, in that the PDF is obtained by analysis and can be easily calculated by employing standard numerical methods. Thus, it obviates the need for time-consuming simulation efforts. The derivation of the PDF takes into account practical propagation models including shadow fading. The effect of background noise is also considered. Numerical experiments are performed assuming various environments and deployment scenarios to examine the performance of femtocell networks. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations for verification purposes and show good agreement

Low energy indoor network : deployment optimisation

This article considers what the minimum energy indoor access point deployment is in order to achieve a certain downlink quality-of-service. The article investigates two conventional multiple-access technologies, namely: LTE-femtocells and 802.11n Wi-Fi. This is done in a dynamic multi-user and multi-cell interference network. Our baseline results are reinforced by novel theoretical expressions. Furthermore, the work underlines the importance of considering optimisation when accounting for the capacity saturation of realistic modulation and coding schemes. The results in this article show that optimising the location of access points both within a building and within the individual rooms is critical to minimise the energy consumption

The mobile broadcasting standard Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) has been enhanced in Release 14 to enable SFN operation with larger CP duration which may allow for the deployment of large area SFNs and even the combined operation between HPHT and low-power low-tower (LPLT) cellular stations. The knowledge of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) distribution over an SFN area may facilitate the selection of transmission parameters according to the network topology. This paper presents a semianalytical method for the calculation of the SINR distribution in SFNs with low computational complexity compared to Monte Carlo simulations. The method, which builds on previous work developed for cellular communications, is applied to HPHT+LPLT SFNs and evaluated against different transmission and network parameters.This work was supported in part by the Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia, Spain, under Grant TEC2014-56483-R, in part by European FEDER funds.Gimenez Gandia, JJ.; Sung, KW.; Gomez-Barquero, D.

Coverage Prediction of an AP by using SINR Analysis and Users Density Estimation

In W-LANs a single hop is all that is necessary or in fact acceptable. The region of connectivity around a given source is known as its coverage area. Commonly, a source and a destination may communicate using one or more intermediate relays, in which case a path through the network must be found where each hop has a SINR greater than ß. There are several ways to portray and quantify network connectivity, but at the core, they all require that individual pairs be are able to communicate, which is dictated by the SINR. This paper is going to take a survey on AP coverage based on interference analysis (within a cell for connected nodes) and user density estimation but also it will try to determine the radial distance where the far distance user is tolerable to interfere with a near user (Near far effect) to the AP in perspective of received signal strength and channel fading. Keywords: SINR, users’ density, ß, coverage  

A Framework for Uplink Intercell Interference Modeling with Channel-Based Scheduling

This paper presents a novel framework for modeling the uplink intercell interference (ICI) in a multiuser cellular network. The proposed framework assists in quantifying the impact of various fading channel models and state-of-the-art scheduling schemes on the uplink ICI. Firstly, we derive a semianalytical expression for the distribution of the location of the scheduled user in a given cell considering a wide range of scheduling schemes. Based on this, we derive the distribution and moment generating function (MGF) of the uplink ICI considering a single interfering cell. Consequently, we determine the MGF of the cumulative ICI observed from all interfering cells and derive explicit MGF expressions for three typical fading models. Finally, we utilize the obtained expressions to evaluate important network performance metrics such as the outage probability, ergodic capacity, and average fairness numerically. Monte-Carlo simulation results are provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the derived analytical expressions.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, 2013. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1206.229
