摘要
为了解决传统蜂窝网络中用户体验剧烈波动的问题,无蜂窝和传统蜂窝共存网络将大量接入点(Access Point,AP)部署到传统蜂窝网络中,显著改善边缘用户和盲区的覆盖信号质量.因此用户在覆盖区域的任何位置均获得良好、一致的用户体验,即一致覆盖是提升共存网络性能的首要目标.而AP部署方案是共存网络中用户传输速率和覆盖的决定性因素,该文提出了面向一致覆盖的AP部署优化方法.首先根据共存网络的联合传输模型推导得到用户的下行可达速率,然后以最大化平均吞吐量为目标,将AP部署建模为比率和规划问题,并基于分式规划和引入辅助变量将其转换为凸优化问题,进而通过迭代求解AP的最优位置.仿真结果表明,相比传统蜂窝网络,所提方案可显著提高边缘和盲区的平均吞吐量.
Abstract
To address the issue of dramatic fluctuations in user experience in legacy cellular networks,cell-free and legacy coexistence networks deploy Access Points(APs)into cellular networks,which can significantly improve the coverage signal quality of edge users and blind areas.Therefore,a good and consistent user experience at any location in the coverage area,i.e.consistent-coverage is the primary goal to improve the performance of coexistence networks.As the AP deployment is the determinant of user transmission rate and coverage in coexistence networks,a consistent-coverage oriented AP deployment optimization problem is designed.Firstly,the expression of the downlink achievable rate of each user is derived based on the joint transmission model of coexistence network.Secondly,a ratio sum optimization problem is proposed to maximize the average throughput.Finally,the non-convex problem is transformed into a convex optimization problem by using the fractional programming and the introduction of auxiliary variables,where the AP deployment scheme is obtained by the iterative solution.Compared with the legacy cellular networks,the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can significantly increase average throughput of the edge and blind areas.
