Abstract

5G networks are expected to deliver very high data rates with enhanced quality of service (QoS) at a very low cost. To meet the demands of high data rates and improved QoS, ultra-densification is the key solution used in 5G networks. In this paper we propose a call admission control (CAC) policy by considering the main components of an ultra-dense 5G network, namely, macrocell, picocell and femtocell. The calls in the network are accepted based on the SNIR ranges which help in deciding whether the call will be connected to a macrocell or picocell or femtocell. We also come up with a handover management scheme which regulates the handover of calls between macrocell to macrocell (picocell or femtocell), picocell to macrocell (picocell or femtocell) and femtocell to macrocell (picocell or femtocell). The performance analysis of the proposed CAC policy and the handover management scheme is also conducted in the paper. For this, we construct analytical models with the help of continuous-time Markov chains for the macrocell, picocell and femtocell network to obtain the performance metrics such as blocking probability of new calls and dropping probability of handover calls. The analytical results are further investigated to establish the importance of ultra-densification in 5G network. The proposed analytical models are also validated via simulation. A comparative analysis is also performed between the proposed CAC policy and an existing CAC policy in literature which considers only macrocells and femtocells in the network.
