Abstract:
We discover a new capacity scaling law in ultra-dense networks under practical system assumptions, such as a general multi-piece path loss model, a non-zero base station to user equipment antenna height difference, and a finite user equipment density. The intuition and implication of this new capacity scaling law are completely different from those found in the year 2011. That law indicated that the increase of the interference power caused by a denser network would be exactly compensated by the increase of the signal power due to the reduced distance between transmitters and receivers, and thus, network capacity should grow linearly with network densification. However, we find that both the signal and interference powers become bounded in practical ultra-dense networks, which leads to a constant capacity scaling law. Moreover, our new discovery on the constant capacity scaling law indicates three network optimization problems respectively for base station deployment, user equipment scheduling and base station coordination. These three optimization problems are justified and solved in this paper, shedding new light on the deployment and optimization of ultra-dense networks.
