Modeling and Analysis of Random Spatial Systems for 5G Networks
With the adoption of 5G technologies and the increased reliance of intelligent transportation on communication, there is an increased need to ensure reliability of communication. The MARSS-5G research project focuses on the densification of nodes in next generation wireless communications. As networks become more dense, interference between transmissions becomes an important consideration. The MARSS-5G project considered as a case study vehicular communication and utilizes analytical tools to characterize the communication performance in a variety of operating conditions. An understanding of this performance is important to guide network design, which in turn has impact for traffic safety and efficiency. This project aims to develop several insightful analytical tools in order to: model, design, and analyze complex 5G networks. Tools from Stochastic Geometry and Planar Distributions for wireless networks have been utilized to enable the analytical derivation of these insightful performance metrics so as to assess the quality of service and assist in the design of complex networks. Such sophisticated metrics will be geared for applications in mobile and vehicular communications, thus eliminating the need for intractable, costly and time-consuming simulations. Through a novel approach to characterize communication reliability, the main conclusion of the work was the standard vehicular communication technologies such as IEEE 802.11p will be insufficient to meet the demands of future vehicular communication applications. This is because of the limited bandwidth and lack of interference coordination, which lead to low throughput and large packet loss in dense urban scenarios.

Project objective
The United Nations International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has recently reported that the number of mobile users is expected to surpass the world population. In fact, it is expected that by 2020 mobile users will exceed an astonishing 9 Billion subscribers. With this unprecedented market penetration and growth, many communication engineering challenges are anticipated. In particular, next generation 5G wireless systems must be designed using sophisticated and innovative strategies and techniques. While 5G applications are expected to be diverse, the network architectures and devices need to ensure and deliver reliable, pervasive, and high-speed interconnection for various data-intensive applications (e.g., interactive multimedia streaming). These requirements must be accomplished while necessitating limited resources for a continuously expanding consumer demographics. Thus, deploying such complex networks is a formidable engineering feat that requires novel ways of modeling, evaluating, and designing extremely dense radio systems. This project aims, through the study of spatial geometry of randomly deployed mobile units, to develop several analytical tools to model, design, and analyze complex 5G networks, and validate them through experimental datasets. Ultimately, our broad goal is to conceptualize an engineering research idea, and then transitioning it into innovative applications that can be replicated for real-world cellular networks operated by established service providers and mobile manufacturers.
