Title
Energy efficiency analysis of relay-assisted cellular networks using stochastic geometry
Abstract
As energy consumption reduction has been an important concern for the wireless industry, energy-efficient communications is of prime interest for future broadband networks. In this paper, we study the energy efficiency of relay-assisted cellular networks using tools from stochastic geometry. We first derive the coverage probability for the macro base station (MBS) to user (UE), the MBS to relay station (RS), and the RS to UE links, and then we model the power consumption of MBSs and RSs. Based on the analytical model and expressions, the energy efficiency of relay-assisted cellular networks is then evaluated and is shown to be strictly quasi-concave on the transmit power for the MBS to UE link or the RS to UE link. Numerical results also show that the energy efficiency first improves while it hits a ceiling as the MBS density increases.
