Reliability Improvement of Uplink Communication through Double Association in Wireless Heterogeneous Networks.
Dongmin Kim, Petar Popovski · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2015
We investigate methods for network association that improve the reliability of uplink transmissions in dense wireless heterogeneous networks. The stochastic geometry analysis shows that the double association, in which an uplink transmission is broadcasted to a macro Base Station (BS) and small BS, significantly improves the probability of successful transmission. The reliability can be further increased by the use of Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC).
