Optimal two-tier cellular network design

چکیده
One way of improving the performance of cellular networks is to build a second layer of macrocells on top of the microcell level. The system performance can further be increased by using guard channels and allowing calls to overflow to the upper layer when needed. In this study, we used simulated annealing (SA) to determine the design parameters of two-tier cellular networks for which the cost is minimized. We experimented with the SA-based technique on different example problems and obtained promising results.

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...

متن کاملAdaptive density control in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks with and without power management
The authors study the design of heterogeneous two-tier wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where one tier of nodes is more robust and computationally intensive than the other tier. The authors find the ratios of densities of nodes in each tier to maximise coverage and network lifetime. By employing coverage processes and optimisation theory, the authors show that any topology of WSN derived from r...
متن کاملModeling and analysis of queuing handoff calls in single and two-tier cellular networks
Two-tier cellular networks consist of a group of contiguous microcells overlaid by a macrocell. This design provides an enhanced use of the networks’ resources for both high and low speed users because of the availability of additional channels. However, this causes an increase in the number of handoffs between cells due to having smaller cell sizes in the microcell tier. Since, handoff call bl...
