In this paper, we address inter-beam inter-cell interference mitigation in 5G networks that employ millimeter-wave (mmWave), beamforming and non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) techniques. Those techniques play a key role in improving network capacity and spectral efficiency by multiplexing users on both spatial and power domains. In addition, the coverage area of multiple beams from different cells can intersect, allowing more flexibility in user-cell association. However, the intersection of coverage areas also implies increased inter-beam inter-cell interference, i.e. interference among beams formed by nearby cells. Therefore, joint user-cell association and inter-beam power allocation stand as a promising solution to mitigate inter-beam, inter-cell interference. In this paper, we consider a 5G mmWave network and propose a reinforcement learning algorithm to perform joint user-cell association and inter-beam power allocation to maximize the sum rate of the network. The proposed algorithm is compared to a uniform power allocation that equally divides power among beams per cell. Simulation results present a performance enhancement of 13-30% in networks sum-rate corresponding to the lowest and highest traffic loads, respectively.
In this paper, for the first time, we analytically prove that the uplink (UL) inter-cell interference in frequency division multiple access (FDMA) small cell networks (SCNs) can be well approximated by a lognormal distribution under a certain conditi
Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations rely on inter-satellite links (ISLs) to provide global connectivity. However, one significant challenge is to establish and maintain inter-plane ISLs, which support communication between different orbita
Appearing on the stage quite recently, the Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are currently getting much of attention. In the current paper we study the susceptibility of one LPWAN technology, namely LoRaWAN, to the inter-network interferences. By
In molecular communication via diffusion (MCvD), the inter-symbol interference (ISI) is a well known severe problem that deteriorates both data rates and link reliability. ISI mainly occurs due to the slow and highly random propagation of the messeng
In this document, we are primarily interested in computing the probabilities of various types of dependencies that can occur in a multi-cell infrastructure network.
