Modeling and Performance Analysis in Cache-enabled Millimeter Wave HetNets with Access and Backhaul Integration
share
Recently, a mmWave-based access and backhaul integration HetNetsarchitecture (mABHetNets) has been envisioned to provide the high link capacity in both access and backhaul links. In mABHetNets, the access link and the backhaul link will share the same mm-wave spectral resources to serve cellular users as well as to maintain the backhaul capacity of the SBSs. However, a large spectrum bandwidth are occupied by the backhaul link to maintain the backhaul link capacity. Up to 50% mmWave spectrum resource will be used in backhaul link to satisfy the high speed data traffic. Such "spectrum occupation" of backhaul link has restricted network performance to achieve a better possible improvement. To overcome spectrum occupation problem in the existing mABHetNets, involving caches in the mABHetNets brings a opportunity. When the backhaul traffic is offloaded by caching popular fils in the SBSs and the corresponding mmWave spectrum can be transfered to the access link by the bandwidth partition. Then with more spectrum for access link, both the network throughout and the coverage ability are increased significantly. However, the caching power consumption will be increased and the EE will be decreased. Therefore, we analyze the througput and EE in mABHetNets by stochastic geometry tool. Extensive numerical and simulations results are carried out to validate our work.
