  5. Uplink Interference Inter-cell interference • Mobile stations tx. to base station • Multiple interferers contribute to UL interference • Interference is random • Important to model it correctly 2 BS 2 2 Reference cell Neighboring cell 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2

  6. Wireless Propagation Characteristics • Path loss (d) • Shadowing (s) • Lognormal distribution • Fading (f) • Rayleigh, Ricean, Nakagami-m s f P Rx. power Tx. power Path loss Shadowing Fading

  7. Lognormal Probability Distribution Lognormal Prob. Distribution • A skewed distribution • Several and varied applications in wireless propagation, finance, health care, reliability theory, optics, etc. pX(x) x

  8. Conventional Model: Gaussian Approximation • Problem: Closed-form tractable expressions for probability distribution of sum are not known • Conventional solution: Model as a Gaussian RV • [Chan, Hanly’01; Tse,Viswanath’05] • Two justifications given: • Central limit theorem • Less randomness in the presence of power control and cell site selection

  9. Our Approach: Approximate As A Lognormal • Related literature supports this approach • Works much better given number of summands • [Mehta et al'07, Fenton-Wilkinson’60, Schleher‘77, Schwartz-Yeh‘82, Beaulieu-Xie’04] • ‘Permanence' of lognormal sums • [W. A. Janos ‘70, R. Barakat’76] Model inter-cell interference as a lognormal random variable

  10. Unique Feature of Our Problem: Several Sources of Randomness • User locations are random within a cell • Use Poisson point process model • Number of users is also random • Interferer’s transmit power is random • Power control • Cell site selection

  11. Our Two Methods to Fix Lognormal Parameters Lognormal: Goal: Determine the two parameters μ and σ • Developed two methods: • Moment-matching method • MGF-matching method

  12. Moment Matching: Key Results • Match the first two moments of total uplink interference • Advantage: Closed-form expressions possible Moments of actual interference

  13. CCDF Matching: To See Tail Behaviour • Lognormal tracks the actual CCDF very well • Better than conventional Gaussian Ave. # of users/cell= 10 First tier interference Complementary CDF Total interference

  14. CDF Matching: To See Head Behaviour Ave. number of users/cell= 10 • Lognormal significantly better than Gaussian • Gaussian CDF high for small value of interference • Off by 2 orders of magnitude CDF Total interference

  15. With Cell Selection (Handoff Set Size = 2) • Moment matching based lognormal approximation is better than Gaussian even with cell site selection • Shown for first-tier interference

  16. Further Improvement Using MGF Matching • Key idea: Match moment generating function instead of moments • Advantage: Gives the parametric flexibility to match both portions of distribution well • Technical enabler: Can evaluate MGF relatively easily when users are distributed as per a Poisson spatial process • Benefit from the extensive theory on Poisson processes

  17. Improved Lognormal Approximation Method • MGF of the total uplink interference from users in cell k • ψk(s): MGF of the interference from an arbitrary user in cell k • Method: Match MGFs at s1 and s2 with lognormal’s MGF

  18. 6. Results: CDF and CCDF Matching Accuracy 30 users/cell on average • Lognormal approximation is significantly better than Gaussian • MGF-based lognormal approximation is better than moment-based lognormal approximation CCDF CDF First-tier interference

  19. Conclusion • Goal: Model inter-cell interference in uplink of CDMA systems • Showed: Lognormal is better than the conventional Gaussian • New methods: To determine parameters of approximating lognormal • First method :Based on moment-matching • Second improved method: MGF-based moment matching

  20. Extensions Two model generalizations: • Extend the femto cells • Multiple femto cells within a macrocell • Hybrid macrocell/microcell cellular layouts Two other improvements: • Include peak power constraints • Better cell area approximation techniques

  21. Inter-Cell Interference in CDMA Uplinks • Spreading codes diminish interference but do not annul it • Sum of signals from many users served by other BSs • Undergoes shadowing/fading It is a random variable. How do we characterize it? Reference cell Neighboring cell

  22. System Model With Power Control Interfering cell Reference cell • Fading-averaged inter-cell interference • Path loss and shadowing model: • Interference power (with power control) at BS 0 from users served by BS k, located at x1(k), . . . , xNk(k) :

  23. User Location and Number Modelling • Model as a Poisson Spatial Process • Characterized by an intensity parameter (λ) • Analytically tractable model • Probability that Nk users occur within a cell of area A equals Analysis approximation

  24. Signal Interferers Sum of Fixed Number of Lognormals: CDF • Percentile (CDF) plot comparison S-Y method Moment matching CDF Simulations Mehta et al [Mehta, Wu, Molisch, & Zhang, IEEE Trans. Wireless 2007]

  25. Sum of Fixed Number of Lognormals: CCDF • Various approaches exist to accurately characterize the approximating lognormal Complementary CDF Fenton-Wilkinson Log scale S-Y Simulation Mehta et al [Mehta, Wu, Molisch, & Zhang, IEEE Trans. Wireless 2007]

  26. CCDF Matching (Denser User Population) • Lognormal approximation is still significantly better • In sync with literature on sums of fixed number of lognormals Ave. # of users/cell= 30 First tier interference Complementary CDF Total interference

  27. Sources of Inter-Cell Interference 2 • First tier interference • Second tier interference 2 2 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 • Must model inter-cell interference accurately • Cell planning and base station deployment • Signal outage probability evaluation • Performance of link adaptation

  28. CDF Matching (Denser User Population) Ave. number of users/cell= 30 • Lognormal better than Gaussian even for denser populations! • However, inaccuracy does increase CDF Total interference

  29. With Cell Site Selection & Power Control • Serving base station chosen by a user need not be the geographically closest one • Due to shadowing • Depends on soft handoff set size • The number of neighboring base stations a user tracks Reference cell Neighboring interfering cell

  30. First Tier Interference (Handoff Set Size = 3) • Lognormal approximation is still better! CDF CCDF

  31. Second Tier Interference (Handoff Set Size = 2) • Second-tier cells are further away CDF CCDF

  32. Zero Tier Interference (Handoff Set Size = 2) • Even users located within reference cell can cause inter-cell interference • Gaussian does well in this case! CDF CCDF
