Analysis and Optimization of Cellular Network with Burst Traffic
In this paper, we analyze the performance of cellular networks and study the
optimal base station (BS) density to reduce the network power consumption. In
contrast to previous works with similar purpose, we consider Poisson traffic
for users' traffic model. In such situation, each BS can be viewed as M/G/1
queuing model. Based on theory of stochastic geometry, we analyze users'
signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) and obtain the average
transmission time of each packet. While most of the previous works on SINR
analysis in academia considered full buffer traffic, our analysis provides a
basic framework to estimate the performance of cellular networks with burst
traffic. We find that the users' SINR depends on the average transmission
probability of BSs, which is defined by a nonlinear equation. As it is
difficult to obtain the closed-form solution, we solve this nonlinear equation
by bisection method. Besides, we formulate the optimization problem to minimize
the area power consumption. An iteration algorithm is proposed to derive the
local optimal BS density, and the numerical result shows that the proposed
algorithm can converge to the global optimal BS density. At the end, the impact
of BS density on users' SINR and average packet delay will be discussed.Comment: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to missuse of queue

5G Ultra-dense networks with non-uniform Distributed Users
User distribution in ultra-dense networks (UDNs) plays a crucial role in
affecting the performance of UDNs due to the essential coupling between the
traffic and the service provided by the networks. Existing studies are mostly
based on the assumption that users are uniformly distributed in space. The
non-uniform user distribution has not been widely considered despite that it is
much closer to the real scenario. In this paper, Radiation and Absorbing model
(R&A model) is first adopted to analyze the impact of the non-uniformly
distributed users on the performance of 5G UDNs. Based on the R&A model and
queueing network theory, the stationary user density in each hot area is
investigated. Furthermore, the coverage probability, network throughput and
energy efficiency are derived based on the proposed theoretical model. Compared
with the uniformly distributed assumption, it is shown that non-uniform user
distribution has a significant impact on the performance of UDNs.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Cognitive and Energy Harvesting-Based D2D Communication in Cellular Networks: Stochastic Geometry Modeling and Analysis
While cognitive radio enables spectrum-efficient wireless communication,
radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting from ambient interference is an enabler
for energy-efficient wireless communication. In this paper, we model and
analyze cognitive and energy harvesting-based D2D communication in cellular
networks. The cognitive D2D transmitters harvest energy from ambient
interference and use one of the channels allocated to cellular users (in uplink
or downlink), which is referred to as the D2D channel, to communicate with the
corresponding receivers. We investigate two spectrum access policies for
cellular communication in the uplink or downlink, namely, random spectrum
access (RSA) policy and prioritized spectrum access (PSA) policy. In RSA, any
of the available channels including the channel used by the D2D transmitters
can be selected randomly for cellular communication, while in PSA the D2D
channel is used only when all of the other channels are occupied. A D2D
transmitter can communicate successfully with its receiver only when it
harvests enough energy to perform channel inversion toward the receiver, the
D2D channel is free, and the at the receiver is above the
required threshold; otherwise, an outage occurs for the D2D communication. We
use tools from stochastic geometry to evaluate the performance of the proposed
communication system model with general path-loss exponent in terms of outage
probability for D2D and cellular users. We show that energy harvesting can be a
reliable alternative to power cognitive D2D transmitters while achieving
acceptable performance. Under the same outage requirements as
for the non-cognitive case, cognitive channel access improves the outage
probability for D2D users for both the spectrum access policies.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communications, to appea
Partially-Distributed Resource Allocation in Small-Cell Networks
We propose a four-stage hierarchical resource allocation scheme for the
downlink of a large-scale small-cell network in the context of orthogonal
frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA). Since interference limits the
capabilities of such networks, resource allocation and interference management
are crucial. However, obtaining the globally optimum resource allocation is
exponentially complex and mathematically intractable. Here, we develop a
partially decentralized algorithm to obtain an effective solution. The three
major advantages of our work are: 1) as opposed to a fixed resource allocation,
we consider load demand at each access point (AP) when allocating spectrum; 2)
to prevent overloaded APs, our scheme is dynamic in the sense that as the users
move from one AP to the other, so do the allocated resources, if necessary, and
such considerations generally result in huge computational complexity, which
brings us to the third advantage: 3) we tackle complexity by introducing a
hierarchical scheme comprising four phases: user association, load estimation,
interference management via graph coloring, and scheduling. We provide
mathematical analysis for the first three steps modeling the user and AP
locations as Poisson point processes. Finally, we provide results of numerical
simulations to illustrate the efficacy of our scheme.Comment: Accepted on May 15, 2014 for publication in the IEEE Transactions on
