An Efficient Method for Performance Evaluation of Femto-Macro Overlay Systems
Publication: Research - peer-review › Article in proceedings – Annual report year: 2011
This paper considers a two-tier femto-macro overlay
network architecture, where groups of femtocells are overlaid
by macrocells. The capacity of the femtocells is limited, thus
redirection of blocked femto calls to the overlaid macrocell is
used as a QoS assurance strategy. Similar overflow approaches
have been used in telephony; however, extension of this approach
to capacity-constrained femto-macro overlay networks poses
significant challenges due to the wide variety of bandwidth
requirement of Internet services, the large number of femtocells
overlaid by a macrocell, and the need for fast computations
imposed by practical requirements of dynamic real-time resource
allocation. We propose a new computationally efficient numerical
method for the loss probability approximation in such two-tier
femto-macro overlay networks. The accuracy of the method is
verified by exact Markov-chain solutions for small systems and
by simulations for larger systems.
