Performance Analysis of Small Cells' Deployment under Imperfect Traffic Hotspot Localization
Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets), long been considered in operators' roadmaps
for macrocells' network improvements, still continue to attract interest for 5G
network deployments. Understanding the efficiency of small cell deployment in
the presence of traffic hotspots can further draw operators' attention to this
feature. In this context, we evaluate the impact of imperfect small cell
positioning on the network performances. We show that the latter is mainly
impacted by the position of the hotspot within the cell: in case the hotspot is
near the macrocell, even a perfect positioning of the small cell will not yield
improved performance due to the interference coming from the macrocell. In the
case where the hotspot is located far enough from the macrocell, even a large
error in small cell positioning would still be beneficial in offloading traffic
from the congested macrocell.Comment: This article is already published in IEEE Global Communications

System level analysis of heterogeneous networks under imperfect traffic hotspot localization
We study, in this paper, the impact of imperfect small cell positioning with
respect to traffic hotspots in cellular networks. In order to derive the
throughput distribution in macro and small cells, we firstly perform static
level analysis of the system considering a non-uniform distribution of user
locations. We secondly introduce the dynamics of the system, characterized by
random arrivals and departures of users after a finite service duration, with
the service rates and distribution of radio conditions outfitted from the first
part of the work. When dealing with the dynamics of the system, macro and small
cells are modeled by multi-class processor sharing queues. Macro and small
cells are assumed to be operating in the same bandwidth. Consequently, they are
coupled due to the mutual interferences generated by each cell to the other. We
derive several performance metrics such as the mean flow throughput and the
gain, if any, generated from deploying small cells to manage traffic hotspots.
Our results show that in case the hotspot is near the macro BS (Base Station),
even a perfect positioning of the small cell will not yield improved
performance due to the high interference experienced at macro and small cell
users. However, in case the hotspot is located far enough from the macro BS,
performing errors in small cell positioning is tolerated (since related results
show positive gains) and it is still beneficial in offloading traffic from the
congested macrocell. The best performance metrics depend also on several other
important factors such as the users' arrival intensity, the capacity of the
cell and the size of the traffic hotspot.Comment: This paper is already published in IEEE Transactions on Vehicular

Offloading traffic hotspots using moving small cells
In this paper, the concept of moving small cells in mobile networks is
presented and evaluated taking into account the dynamics of the system. We
consider a small cell moving according to a Manhattan mobility model which is
the case when the small cell is deployed on the top of a bus following a
predefined trajectory in areas which are generally crowded. Taking into account
the distribution of user locations, we study the dynamic level considering a
queuing model composed of multi-class Processor Sharing queues. Macro and small
cells are assumed to be operating in the same bandwidth. Consequently, they are
coupled due to the mutual interferences generated by each cell to the other.
Our results show that deploying moving small cells could be an efficient
solution to offload traffic hotspots.Comment: This article is already published in IEEE ICC conference 2016, Kuala

Charged exctions in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides - semiclassical calculation of Berry-curvature effects
We theoretically study the role of the Berry curvature on neutral and charged
excitons in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides. The Berry
curvature arises due to a strong coupling between the conduction and valence
bands in these materials that can to great extent be described within the model
of massive Dirac fermions. The Berry curvature lifts the degeneracy of exciton
states with opposite angular momentum. Using an electronic interaction that
accounts for non-local screening effects, we find a Berry-curvature induced
splitting of meV between the 2 and 2 exciton states in
WS, consistent with experimental findings. Furthermore, we calculate the
trion binding energies in WS and WSe for a large variety of screening
lenghts and different dielectric constants for the environment. Our approach
indicates the prominent role played by the Berry curvature along with non-local
electronic interactions in the understanding of the energy spectra of neutral
and charged excitons in transition-metal dichalcogenides and in the the
interpretation of their optical properties.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Traffic Hotspot localization in 3G and 4G wireless networks using OMC metrics
In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness to traffic
localization techniques driven by the emergence of heterogeneous networks
(HetNet) with small cells deployment and the green networks. The localization
of hotspot data traffic with a very high accuracy is indeed of great interest
to know where the small cells should be deployed and how can be managed for
sleep mode concept. In this paper, we propose a new traffic localization
technique based on the combination of different key performance indicators
(KPI) extracted from the operation and maintenance center (OMC). The proposed
localization algorithm is composed with five main steps; each one corresponds
to the determination of traffic weight per area using only one KPI. These KPIs
are Timing Advance (TA), Angle of Arrival (AoA), Neighbor cell level, the load
of each cell and the Harmonic mean throughput (HMT) versus the Arithmetic mean
throughput (AMT). The five KPIs are finally combined by a function taking as
variables the values computed from the five steps. By mixing such KPIs, we show
that it is possible to lessen significantly the errors of localization in a
high precision attaining small cell dimensions.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, published in Proc. IEEE International Symposium
