This paper considers a joint transmission scheme (JT) developed for cloud radio access networks (C-RANs). This proposed scheme features cooperative sets of remote radio heads (RRH) defined in a disk around each user location. The nodes belonging to each of these sets perform a weighted maximum ratio transmission to jointly serve the user. The powers allocated to the beamformers are computed at the network baseband unit, taking into account channel gains, as well an equity criterion between the users. In comparison with the existing literature, our model includes a saturation assumption, with all transmissions taking place over the same resource block. A RRH belonging to multiple sets can hence transmit to several users simultaneously. The distributions of the network coverage and spectral efficiency are calculated by means of stochastic geometry (SG), and compared with Monte Carlo simulations. The derived expressions take into account the power allocation, the user and RRH densities, as well as the statistical correlation resulting from the set overlaps.
In this paper, we utilize tools from stochastic geometry to estimate the interference propagation via reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) in the millimeter wave (mmWave, 30-300 GHz) band and specifically on the D band (110-170 GHz). The RISs have been of great interest lately to maximize the channel gains in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication situations. We derive expressions for stochastic interference level in RIS powered systems and validate those with simulations. It will be shown that the interference levels via RIS link are rather small compared to the designed RIS link or the L…
A Non-terrestrial Network (NTN) comprising Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites can enable connectivity to underserved areas, thus complementing existing telecom networks. The high-speed satellite motion poses several challenges at the physical layer such as large Doppler frequency shifts. In this paper, an analytical framework is developed for statistical characterization of Doppler shift in an NTN where LEO satellites provide communication services to terrestrial users. Using tools from stochastic geometry, the users within a cell are grouped into disjoint clusters to limit the differential Dopp…

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) become promising for enhancing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems, i.e., enhancing the channel quality and altering the SIC orders. Invoked by stochastic geometry methods, we investigate the downlink coverage performance of RIS-aided multi-cell NOMA networks. We first derive the RIS-aided channel model, concluding the direct and reflecting links. The analytical results demonstrate that the RIS-aided channel model can be closely modeled as a Gamma distribution. Additionally, interference from other cells is analyzed. Lastly, we derive closed…
Sharing the licensed frequency spectrum among multiple mobile network operators (MNOs) is a promising approach to improve licensed spectrum utilization. In this paper, we model and analyze a non-orthogonal spectrum sharing system consisting of multiple seller and multiple buyer MNOs where buyer MNOs lease several licensed sub-bands from different seller MNOs. All base stations (BSs) owned by a buyer MNO can also utilize various licensed sub-bands simultaneously, which are also used by other buyer MNOs. To reduce the interference that a buyer MNO imposes on one seller MNO sharing its licensed s…
By activating blocked users and altering successive interference cancellation (SIC) sequences, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) become promising for enhancing non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems. The downlink RIS-aided NOMA networks are investigated via stochastic geometry. We first introduce the unique path loss model for RIS reflecting channels. Then, we evaluate the angle distributions based on a Poisson cluster process (PCP) model, which theoretically demonstrates that the angles of incidence and reflection are uniformly distributed. Additionally, we derive closed-form …
In this paper, with the aid of the mathematical tool of stochastic geometry, we introduce analytical and computational frameworks for the distribution of three different definitions of delay, i.e., the time that it takes for a user to successfully receive a data packet, in large-scale cellular networks. We also provide an asymptotic analysis of one of the delay distributions, which can be regarded as the packet loss probability of a given network. To mitigate the inherent computational difficulties of the obtained analytical formulations in some cases, we propose efficient numerical approximat…

Using stochastic geometry tools, we develop a comprehensive framework to analyze the downlink coverage probability, ergodic capacity, and energy efficiency (EE) of various types of users (e.g., users served by direct base station (BS) transmissions and indirect intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted transmissions) in a cellular network with multiple BSs and IRSs. The proposed stochastic geometry framework can capture the impact of channel fading, locations of BSs and IRSs, arbitrary phase-shifts and interference experienced by a typical user supported by direct transmission and/or IRS-a…
Grant-free (GF) transmission holds promise in terms of low latency communication by directly transmitting messages without waiting for any permissions. However, collision situations may frequently happen when limited spectrum is occupied by numerous GF users. The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique can be a promising solution to achieve massive connectivity and fewer collisions for GF transmission by multiplexing users in power domain. We utilize a semi-grant-free (semi-GF) NOMA scheme for enhancing network connectivity and spectral efficiency by enabling grant-based (GB) and GF us…
With the rapid explosion of data volume from mobile networks, edge caching has received significant attentions as an efficient approach to boost content delivery efficiency by bringing contents near users. In this article, cache-enabled heterogeneous networks (HetNets) considering the limited backhaul is analyzed with the aid of the stochastic geometry approach. A hybrid caching policy, in which the most popular contents are cached in the macro BSs tier with the deterministic caching strategy and the less popular contents are cached in the helpers tier with the probabilistic caching strategy, …
Beam management is central in the operation of dense 5G cellular networks. Focusing the energy radiated to mobile terminals (MTs) by increasing the number of beams per cell increases signal power and decreases interference, and has hence the potential to bring major improvements on area spectral efficiency (ASE). This benefit, however, comes with unavoidable overheads that increase with the number of beams and the MT speed. This paper proposes a first system-level stochastic geometry model encompassing major aspects of the beam management problem: frequencies, antennas, and propagation; physic…
