Abstract
En 中文
Cache-enabled small base stations (SBS) are capable of relieving the heavy burden of the backhaul link and reducing the transmission latency. The hit probability depends on the coverage probability and caching placement probabilities. However, the interference in the small-cell networks may significantly degrade the coverage probability. In this paper, forMIMO small-cell networks consisting of SBS and users, where both of them are equipped with multiple antennas, a joint interference alignment (IA) and probabilistic caching (JIA-ProbC) scheme is proposed. Using tools from stochastic geometry, theK-th order Voronoi cells are constructed to form clusters, whereKSBSs cooperatively serve users within each of the K-th order Voronoi cells. Then, the IA scheme forMIMO interference channel (IC) is employed to cancel the intra-cluster interference within eachK-th order Voronoi cell. By exploiting the advantage of multiples antennas at users, the IA scheme can simultaneously support more users interference-free than both the zero forcing (ZF) based interference cancellation scheme for MISO systems and SISO systems without interference management, as more interference can be canceled. Furthermore, the coverage probability is analytically approximated by the a closed-form expression. Moreover, the optimal caching placement probability is analytically derived. Numerical Simulation results show that the proposed JIA-ProbC can significantly outperform the existing jointZFand probabilistic caching (JZF-ProbC) scheme for MISO systems and SISO probabilistic caching (SISO-ProbC) scheme as well as the joint IAand most popular caching (JIA-MPC) caching scheme.
