Analytical interference models for the downlink of a cellular mobile network

Abstract

Today, either simulations or simplified analytical models are commonly used to solve the problem of statistical signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) description in homogeneous cellular networks. But for dynamic cellular communication systems compact formulations that are close the exact behavior of the SINR are indispensable. To overcome this issue a new approach with increased accuracy is contributed. The derived functions are applied to omni-directional and sectored scenarios. These modeling techniques for an exact statistical analysis of a given cell structure are more and more important for an efficient use of the given resources from a system-level point of view. In combination with the analysis of power consumption in cellular networks it is possible to identify general design rules for future energy-efficient networks.
