Quality Enhancement In A mm-Wave Multi-hop, Multi-Tier Heterogeneous 5G Network Architecture
Abstract Millimetre-wave ultra-dense high capacity networks by providing an important component of future 5G cellular systems, by providing extremely high capacity to end users. Disparate types of users coexist in such scenarios, which can make the heterogeneous network unfair in terms of allocation of resources. A mechanism is required for effective spectrum sharing and to achieve overall system fairness. In this paper, an analytical model is suggested, which is based on a two-dimensional Markov state-transition diagram, to help set the parameter values to control the issuance of resources in coexistence layouts. A restriction approach is further implemented to gain a fair balance of the Grade-of-Service for both user groups using the User Admission Control mechanism. The developed mechanism restricts access to various channel resources for users with complete choice to give a greater probability of access to different users with limited resource options. Various levels of restriction are investigated in order to offer a balanced low-blocking probability performance to both user groups in order to improve the overall network fairness. Also, the proposed approach could provide a precise level of Grade-of-Service guarantee for both the user groups if sufficient flexibility is available within the whole network. Our simulation results show that approximately 30% to 45% enhancement, in terms of grade of service (GoS), could be achieved in high to medium loads by restricting some users' flexibility.
