Abstract
Ultra-dense network (UDN) is a promising solution to meet the huge data requirements of future 5G wireless communication systems. With many irregularly deployed small cell base stations (SBSs), it is very difficult to accurately measure network energy efficiency (EE) in UDN. Considering the necessity of saving energy in modern-day networks, in this paper, I present the EE evaluation of UDN based on the random spatial network model. In this considered system, the SBSs and the macro cell users (MUEs) are modeled as a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP). Unlike the existing literature, I derive the simple closed-form expressions for the successful transmission probabilities of MUEs and small cells by Laplace transformation. Then, based on the obtained successful transmission probabilities, I derive the closed form expression for EE of the small cells in both uplink and downlink under some practical constraints. Further, to obtain the optimal SBS density in UDN, I propose a joint uplink and downlink power allocation (JUDPA) algorithm. The JUDPA algorithm obtains the maximum EE in small cells by iteratively optimizing the uplink and downlink powers. Our theoretical analysis and simulated results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed model with better power allocation and less complexity than conventional solutions.
