Fine-grained Analysis and Optimization of Flexible Spatial Difference in User-centric Network

In user-centric network, traditional typical user analysis method based on spatial average results is no longer applicable due to the flexible spatial difference, which is the large fluctuations in user performance with spatial location. Especially because of power control leading to keen spatial competition, the spatial difference becomes much significantly, so that fine-grained analysis method is needed to evaluate its performance. This paper analyzes the spatial difference in user-centric network with power control through meta distribution from many different fine-grained perspectives to reveal that power control improves the performance not only in the sense of the spatial average, but also in the complete spatial distribution. Specifically, the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of the conditional transmitting success probability, the mean local delay and the 5%-tile users performance are given to depict power control effect on the individual links. This analysis provides the optimal values of the area and intensity for power control deployment in user-centric network. Numerical results show that after applying power control the users of high coverage probability can be improved at most by 38%, the mean local delay decreases by 2x and 4x gains can be obtained as for the 5%-tile user’s performance.
