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
Tractable Resource Management with Uplink Decoupled Millimeter-Wave Overlay in Ultra-Dense Cellular Networks
The forthcoming 5G cellular network is expected to overlay millimeter-wave
(mmW) transmissions with the incumbent micro-wave ({\mu}W) architecture. The
overall mm-{\mu}W resource management should therefore harmonize with each
other. This paper aims at maximizing the overall downlink (DL) rate with a
minimum uplink (UL) rate constraint, and concludes: mmW tends to focus more on
DL transmissions while {\mu}W has high priority for complementing UL, under
time-division duplex (TDD) mmW operations. Such UL dedication of {\mu}W results
from the limited use of mmW UL bandwidth due to excessive power consumption
and/or high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) at mobile users. To further
relieve this UL bottleneck, we propose mmW UL decoupling that allows each
legacy {\mu}W base station (BS) to receive mmW signals. Its impact on mm-{\mu}W
resource management is provided in a tractable way by virtue of a novel
closed-form mm-{\mu}W spectral efficiency (SE) derivation. In an ultra-dense
cellular network (UDN), our derivation verifies mmW (or {\mu}W) SE is a
logarithmic function of BS-to-user density ratio. This strikingly simple yet
practically valid analysis is enabled by exploiting stochastic geometry in
conjunction with real three dimensional (3D) building blockage statistics in
Seoul, Korea.Comment: to appear in IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (17 pages,
