Load-Aware Modeling and Analysis of Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

Stochastic geometry modeling and analysis of cognitive heterogeneous cellular networks

In this paper, we present a cognitive radio (CR)-based statistical framework for a two-tier heterogeneous cellular network (femto-macro network) to model the outage probability at any arbitrary secondary (femto) and primary (macro) user. A system model based on stochastic geometry (utilizing the spatial Poisson point process (PPP) theory) is applied to model the random locations and network top...

Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

Analytical Modeling of Heterogeneous Cellular Networks

This self-contained introduction shows how stochastic geometry techniques can be used for studying the behavior of heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs). The unified treatment of analytic results and approaches, collected for the first time in a single volume, includes the mathematical tools and techniques used to derive them. A single canonical problem formulation encompassing the analytic de...

Load-aware Radio Access Selection in Heterogeneous Terrestrial Wireless Networks

Terrestrial wireless network technologies such as UMTS, WiMax and WLAN are used to provide network access for both voice and data services. In big cities the densely populated areas like town centres, shopping centres and train stations which have coverage of multiple wireless networks, a large number of mobile users may be connected to the more common UMTS, thereby creating an unbalanced load ...

Optimal Load Balancing in Millimeter Wave Cellular Heterogeneous Networks

In this paper, we propose a novel and effective approach to optimizing the load balancing in a millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular heterogeneous network (HetNet) with a macro-tier and a micro-tier. The unique characteristics of mmWave transmission are incorporated into the network by adopting the Poisson point process (PPP) for base station (BS) location, the line-of-sight (LoS) ball model for mm...
