Performance Model for 4G/5G Networks Taking into Account Intra- and Inter-Cell Mobility of Users
Résumé
In this paper, we investigate the influence of intra-and inter-cell mobility of users on performance of 4G/5G cellular networks, such as LTE and LTE-A. To this end, we develop a multi-class PS queue model that captures mobility of users between zones of a cell and between cells, through a simple mobility model, that is decoupled from the cell model itself, enabling to directly apply the approach to more realistic mobility patterns. We first show that this model is consistent with known analytical bounds corresponding to a system with either static users or users having an infinite speed. We then compare our model to simulations for more realistic speeds, and show that it provides user and cell performance with a very good accuracy. The outcomes of our model confirm that mobility may improve both users and cells performance, and enable to quantify the gain as a function of users speed.
