Interference in Poisson Networks with Isotropically Distributed Nodes
Practical wireless networks are finite, and hence non-stationary with nodes
typically non-homo-geneously deployed over the area. This leads to a
location-dependent performance and to boundary effects which are both often
neglected in network modeling. In this work, interference in networks with
nodes distributed according to an isotropic but not necessarily stationary
Poisson point process (PPP) are studied. The resulting link performance is
precisely characterized as a function of (i) an arbitrary receiver location and
of (ii) an arbitrary isotropic shape of the spatial distribution. Closed-form
expressions for the first moment and the Laplace transform of the interference
are derived for the path loss exponents and , and simple
bounds are derived for other cases. The developed model is applied to practical
problems in network analysis: for instance, the accuracy loss due to neglecting
border effects is shown to be undesirably high within transition regions of
certain deployment scenarios. Using a throughput metric not relying on the
stationarity of the spatial node distribution, the spatial throughput locally
around a given node is characterized.Comment: This work was presented in part at ISIT 201
How user throughput depends on the traffic demand in large cellular networks
Little's law allows to express the mean user throughput in any region of the
network as the ratio of the mean traffic demand to the steady-state mean number
of users in this region. Corresponding statistics are usually collected in
operational networks for each cell. Using ergodic arguments and Palm theoretic
formalism, we show that the global mean user throughput in the network is equal
to the ratio of these two means in the steady state of the "typical cell".
Here, both means account for double averaging: over time and network geometry,
and can be related to the per-surface traffic demand, base-station density and
the spatial distribution of the SINR. This latter accounts for network
irregularities, shadowing and idling cells via cell-load equations. We validate
our approach comparing analytical and simulation results for Poisson network
model to real-network cell-measurements
