Coverage analysis of cell‐edge users in heterogeneous wireless networks using Stienen's model and RFA scheme

In heterogeneous wireless networks, signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) suffers degradation due to strong interference received by users from offloaded macro base station (mBS). Similarly, cell‐edge users experience low SINR due to their distant locations. Moreover, small base stations (sBSs) located in the vicinity of mBS experience reduced coverage due to the high transmit power of mBS. To overcome these limitations, we use Stienen's model as a base station deployment strategy to improve network performance gain. More specifically, we use reverse frequency allocation (RFA) as an interference management scheme together with Stienen's model to significantly improve SINR, enhance edge user coverage, and avoid sBS deployment near the mBS. In the proposed set‐up, the available coverage region is divided into two noncontiguous regions, ie, center region and outer region. Furthermore, mBSs are uniformly distributed throughout the coverage region using independent Poisson point processes, while sBSs are deployed only in outer region using Poisson hole process (PHP). Closed‐form expressions for coverage probabilities are characterized for the proposed model. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme yields improved SINR with enhanced edge user coverage and requires fewer number of sBSs.
