Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the connectivity and probability of successful radio reception in the Poisson model of a 5G ultra-dense radio access network formed by devices with the possibility of location aware beamforming. The difference be-tween the proposed model and the existing prototypes is the complex account for the gains of devices, as well as the influence of radio wave propagation losses, slow and fast fading in the radio channel on the performance of the radio access network. The study is carried out for sessions of directional and omni-directional radio communication, and the beamforming mode is based on the preliminary positioning of neighboring devices. Mathematical modeling of a set of simultaneously operating radio lines in the Poisson model of an ultra-dense 5G radio access network makes it possible to estimate the gain in connectivity and the probability of successful radio reception when forming a beam based on preliminary positioning of devices in comparison with the case of omnidirectional antennas. The results of mathematical modeling of a ultra-dense radio access network with devices equipped with six-element circular antenna arrays showed a significant increase in connectivity indicators and the probability of successful radio reception in comparison with the case of omnidirectional antennas and confirmed the possibility of spatial multiplexing of simultaneous transmissions with a territorial separation of devices on 20% of the range of radio coverage based on the signal-to-noise ratio criterion with a beamforming accuracy of 2?. The result of the study is the establishment of the dependences of the connectivity and the probability of successful radio reception for an ultra-dense 5G radio access network, built on the basis of devices operating in the adaptive diagramming mode, as well as confirmation of the possibilities of spatial multiplexing of simultaneously operating transceiver devices with their territorial separation by 20% of the range of radio coverage based on the signal-to-interference ratio criterion. The obtained dependences of connectivity and the probability of successful radio reception allows to scientifically substantiate construction of an initial approximation of ultra-dense 5G radio access network from devices with the possibility of beamforming based on positioning, taking into account practical recommendations for their territorial diversity with an ultra-dense distribution.
