The r-l Square Point Process: The Effect of Coordinated Multipoint Joint Transmission

Abstract : A 1-tier network composed by multimode low power nodes (LTE/Wifi) is considered as a cost-efficient solution for operators to improve services in poorly or uncovered rural areas. Using an interference coordination technique, network performance can be further improved. Stochastic geometry gives a set of tools to model the location of base stations and user equipments in such wireless networks. Using a spatial model we analyse the network performance in terms of coverage probability and data rate. To realistically model multimode node locations, a new point process model, called the r-l square point process (p.p.), is used in this work. The model of downlink communication including the coordination technique is developed and it allows to evaluate the system performances in term of coverage probability and throughput. Results show that cooperation among nodes improves the network performance.
