Frequently Asked Questions (13)
Q2. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Analysis of cell load coupling for lte network planning and optimization" ?
In this paper, the authors provide a mathematical analysis of performance modeling for LTE networks. The authors develop and prove both sufficient and necessary conditions for the feasibility of the load-coupling system, and provide results related to computational aspects for numerically approaching the solution.
Q3. What are the research topics on UMTS?
The research topics range from BS location and coverage planning [3]–[5], [25], [43], antenna parameter configuration [15], [16], [33], to cell load balancing [18], [34].
Q4. What is the process of solving the load-coupling system?
The process of solving the load-coupling system, e.g., an interior point method for (15), will typically generate a sequence of iterations approaching ρ∗ from below.
Q5. How can the system model be extended to multiple types of services?
By defining a servicespecific index, the demand parameter and the system model can be extended to multiple types of services (see [32]).
Q6. What is the value of performance modeling in planning cellular networks?
High-level and accurate performance modeling is of high value in planning cellular networks, as full-scale dynamic simulations are not affordable for large planning scenarios (e.g., [44]).
Q7. What is the main purpose of the analysis?
The analysis has been supported by theoretical proofs and numerical experiments and can serve as a basis for developing radio network planning and optimization strategies for LTE.
Q8. What is the feasibility boundary of the non-linear load coupling equations?
The system gives the feasibility boundary point of the non-linear load coupling equations, when the determinant of The author− H , where The authoris the identity matrix and H is the matrix defined for h0, equals zero.
Q9. What is the definition of power control?
By power control, the transmit power of each link is adjusted to meet a given signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) threshold.
Q10. What is the true load function for the non-linear system?
The lemma below states that the linear function h0 provides an under-estimation of the true load function f , thus ρ0h, if exists, gives a lower bound on the solution to the non-linear system (4).Lemma 7: h0(ρ) ≤ f(ρ) for any ρ ≥
Q11. How do the authors prove the linear equation system = h0?
To rigorously prove the result, the authors define the linear equation system ρ = h (ρ), obtained by increasing the slope coefficients of h0 by a positive constant .
Q12. What is the general notation for the space of non-negative solutions to systems of equations?
In the remainder of the paper, the authors use S as a general notation for the space of non-negative solutions to systems of equations or inequalities.
Q13. What is the illustrative study of the 3GPP network?
An illustrative simulation study has been conducted for a three-site 3GPP LTE network with an inter-site distance of 500 m, adopting a wrap-around technique.
