Self-Optimizing Traffic Steering for 5G mmWave Heterogeneous Networks.

ABSTRACT: Driven by growing mobile traffic, millimeter wave (mmWave) communications have recently been developed to enhance wireless network capacity. Due to insufficient coverage and the lack of support for mobility, mmWave is often deployed in the ultra-dense small cells of the 5G heterogeneous network. In this article, we first summarize the characteristics of the 5G heterogeneous network from the viewpoints of devices, spectra, and networks. We then propose a triple-band network structure which incorporates licensed bands, sub-6GHz unlicensed bands, and mmWave bands to support various types of mobile users. Based on the novel network structure, we further propose a self-optimizing traffic steering strategy which can intelligently steer traffic to specific networks and spectra according to the dynamic network and traffic environments. Several use cases are also discussed to facilitate the implementation of our proposals. Finally, we present numerical results to demonstrate that the proposed network structure and strategy can effectively enhance the system throughput and energy efficiency.

Project description:The quest for energy efficiency (EE) in multi-tier Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) is observed within the context of surging high-speed data demands and the rapid proliferation of wireless devices. The analysis of existing literature underscores the need for more comprehensive strategies to realize genuinely energy-efficient HetNets. This research work contributes significantly by employing a systematic methodology, utilizing This model facilitates the assessment of network performance by considering the spatial distribution of network elements. The stochastic nature of the PPP allows for a realistic representation of the random spatial deployment of base stations and users in multi-tier HetNets. Additionally, an analytical framework for Quality of Service (QoS) provision based on D-DOSS simplifies the understanding of user-base station relationships and offers essential performance metrics. Moreover, an optimization problem formulation, considering coverage, energy maximization, and delay minimization constraints, aims to strike a balance between key network attributes. This research not only addresses crucial challenges in creating EE HetNets but also lays a foundation for future advancements in wireless network design, operation, and management, ultimately benefiting network operators and end-users alike amidst the growing demand for high-speed data and the increasing prevalence of wireless devices. The proposed D-DOSS approach not only offers insights for the systematic design and analysis of EE HetNets but also systematically outperforms other state-of-the-art techniques presented. The improvement in energy efficiency systematically ranges from 67% (min side) to 98% (max side), systematically demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in achieving higher energy efficiency compared to existing strategies. This systematic research work establishes a strong foundation for the systematic evolution of energy-efficient HetNets. The systematic methodology employed ensures a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay of network dynamics and user requirements in a multi-tiered environment.
