Abstract

In cloud radio access networks (C-RAN) for 5G and beyond, the user-centric system model has gained popularity during downlink performance analysis for various reasons like tractability of stochastic geometric approach and distributed beamforming methods. In this paper, the coverage analysis of C-RAN with different distributions of BSs, e.g. uniform, PPP, Matern hard-core point process (MHCPP) of types I, II, and III are studied. We present the coverage analysis with the uniform distribution of BSs and compare it with other deployment distributions of BSs. The effect of threshold distance on the performance of MHCPP distributions is explored. The Monte Carlo simulation of heterogeneous C-RAN with different cluster point processes is observed and compared with the PPP model. The effect of the range of child clusters on the performance analysis is observed in the cluster point processes. To avoid the complexity in the study, interference is not considered in the analysis, and its counterpart simulations are also not considered while performing the comparison.
