Abstract

We consider an uplink cellular network with static users and unlimited retransmissions. The users are assigned to the base stations (BSs) using the shortest distance association policy. The network cells are formed according to the Voronoi tessellation, and we study stability of this model with focus on a single cell. In particular, we consider a model with non-homogeneous users where the buffer size of each user depends on the number and locations of the active users at each time slot. We obtain a basic relation between input and output rate (coverage probability) of each user in steady-state regime. Moreover, we use stochastic simulation to verify sufficient stability conditions (obtained in the paper [8] for a more general system) which are reformulated in terms of the model under consideration. In particular, we find that these conditions turn out to be quite close to stability criteria in the most realistic case of the heavily loaded cell. In this regard and because of analytical unavailability of some metrics, we empirically study the convergence of the stability zone of the lightly-loaded cell to the zone defined by the sufficient stability conditions, when the load increases.
