How To Dimension Radio Resources When Users Are Distributed on Roads Modeled by Poisson Line Process

Abstract

Resources dimensioning aims at finding the number of radio resources required to carry a forecast data traffic at a target users Quality of Services (QoS). The present paper attempts to provide a new approach of radio resources dimensioning considering the congestion probability, qualified as a relevant metric for QoS evaluation. Users are assumed to be distributed according to a linear Poisson Point Process (PPP) in a random system of roads modeled by Poisson Line Process (PLP) instead of the widely-used spatial PPP. We derive the analytical expression of the congestion probability for analyzing its behavior as a function of network parameters. Finally we show how to dimension radio resources by setting a value of the congestion probability, often targeted by the operator, in order to find the relation between the necessary resources and the forecast data traffic expressed in terms of cell throughput. Different numerical results are presented to justify this dimensioning approach.
