Downlink Cellular Network Analysis With Multi-Slope Path Loss Modelsстатья из журнала
Аннотация: Existing cellular network analyses, and even simulations, typically use the standard path loss model where received power decays like ||x|| -α over a distance ||x}}. This standard path loss model is quite idealized, and in most scenarios the path loss exponent α is itself a function of ||x||, typically an increasing one. Enforcing a single path loss exponent can lead to orders of magnitude differences in average received and interference powers versus the true values. In this paper, we study multi-slope path loss models, where different distance ranges are subject to different path loss exponents. We focus on the dual-slope path loss function, which is a piece-wise power law and continuous and accurately approximates many practical scenarios. We derive the distributions of SIR, SNR, and finally SINR before finding the potential throughput scaling, which provides insight on the observed cell-splitting rate gain. The exact mathematical results show that the SIR monotonically decreases with network density, while the converse is true for SNR, and thus the network coverage probability in terms of SINR is maximized at some finite density. With ultra-densification (network density goes to infinity), there exists a phase transition in the near-field path loss exponent α 0 : if α 0 >1 unbounded potential throughput can be achieved asymptotically; if α 0 <;1, ultra-densification leads in the extreme case to zero throughput.
