[论文解读] On Modeling Heterogeneous Wireless Networks Using Non-Poisson Point Processes
本文提出一种非泊松点过程模型,以更好地捕捉异构无线网络(HetNets)中的空间与时间干扰相关性,突破了传统同质泊松点过程(PPP)的假设。通过分析大规模MIMO、随机接入协议和协作中继,表明在非PPP模型下,干扰相关性显著降低性能,尤其是中断概率,揭示了当忽略相关性时,PPP模型会高估网络可靠性。
Future wireless networks are required to support 1000 times higher data rate, than the current LTE standard. In order to meet the ever increasing demand, it is inevitable that, future wireless networks will have to develop seamless interconnection between multiple technologies. A manifestation of this idea is the collaboration among different types of network tiers such as macro and small cells, leading to the so-called heterogeneous networks (HetNets). Researchers have used stochastic geometry to analyze such networks and understand their real potential. Unsurprisingly, it has been revealed that interference has a detrimental effect on performance, especially if not modeled properly. Interference can be correlated in space and/or time, which has been overlooked in the past. For instance, it is normally assumed that the nodes are located completely independent of each other and follow a homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP), which is not necessarily true in real networks since the node locations are spatially dependent. In addition, the interference correlation created by correlated stochastic processes has mostly been ignored. To this end, we take a different approach in modeling the interference where we use non-PPP, as well as we study the impact of spatial and temporal correlation on the performance of HetNets. To illustrate the impact of correlation on performance, we consider three case studies from real-life scenarios. Specifically, we use massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to understand the impact of spatial correlation; we use the random medium access protocol to examine the temporal correlation; and we use cooperative relay networks to illustrate the spatial-temporal correlation. We present several numerical examples through which we demonstrate the impact of various correlation types on the performance of HetNets.

主要发现
- 如Ginibre过程等非泊松点过程由于保证了干扰节点间的最小距离,其中断概率低于PPP。
- 干扰相关性会增加中断概率,尤其当中继靠近接收端时,选择合并增益降低。
- 基于ALOHA协议的时间相关性会增加平均局部延迟,且在较高接入概率下影响更显著。
- 大规模MIMO系统中的空间相关性会降低有效分集增益,尽管波束成形可缓解部分干扰。
- 在相关干扰条件下,PPP与非PPP模型之间的性能差距扩大,表明PPP模型高估了网络可靠性。
- 本文指出,非PPP模型中的高阶矩测度与干扰相关性统计仍为解析上难以处理,构成关键开放挑战。
