Analytical performance estimation of network‐assisted D2D communications in urban scenarios with rectangular cells

Abstract

The aggressive spatial reuse of radio resources is considered today as one of the most promising avenues to achieve significant cellular capacity improvements in future fifth‐generation networks. Accordingly, device‐to‐device (D2D) communications are an emerging paradigm that promises to offer these much expected gains without the need for additional investments into the network infrastructure. However, before this attractive technology can be deployed ubiquitously, the research community has to fully understand the extent of its potential performance benefits across typical scenarios of interest. In this work, we consider one such use case of rectangular cells (common for offices, shopping malls, dormitories, etc.) and develop the corresponding analytical methodology for D2D performance evaluation. As our target metric, we employ the signal‐to‐interference (SIR) ratio experienced by a D2D user. To this end, we propose two relatively simple approximations for SIR distribution and hence capture the related parameters, including user throughput. Further, we carefully investigate the most interesting numerical results by making important conclusions on the envisioned operation of our chosen scenario. In particular, we demonstrate that under certain conditions, the SIR behaviour is insensitive to the dimensions of cells, while different propagation exponents ‘scale’ its density function thus allowing to simplify the characterisation of SIR in a wide range of input parameters.

Time-Dependent SIR Analysis in Shopping Malls Using Fractal-Based Mobility Models

“…Similar behavior is observed in the dynamics of fractal sets, see, e.g., [13], [14]. The analysis of stable connectivity between mobile devices in such a scenario could be considered as a challenging task in the context of 5G communications systems [15], [16], [17], [18].…”

SIR Analysis In Square-Shaped Indoor Premises

“…The deviations is attributed to the approximation by the Normal distribution. Basically, it just shifts the distribution of the signal of interest (11), leaving the form intact. This is especially true for small values of SIR that are of special importance in practice specifying the socalled outage probabilities.…”

Consider the SIR functional (Hesham ElSawy et al 2014, Samuylov et al 2015, Gaidamaka et al 2016) between a pair of points, for example 1 and 2, where 1 stands for the receiver of interest, and 2 is the corresponding transmitter,…”
