Multi-Cell Cooperative Outage Compensation in Cloud-RANs Based 5G Public Safety Network

Abstract

Cell outage compensation is a crucial way for public safety network (PSN) to recover network communication independently during disasters. As a significant technology for 5G, a cloud-radio access network (C-RAN) plays an important role in a PSN. C-RAN can better achieve multi-cell cooperative outage compensation under dense network coverage because of the characteristics of densification and centralization. Therefore, we propose an efficient multi-cell cooperative outage compensation convergence for the scene where more than one radio remote units (RRUs) are destructed in C-RAN-based PSN. This scheme compensates the network using both cooperative transmission and power adjustment. First, RRUs are selected to participate in the compensation according to the topology structure. Then, the problem model is built aiming at optimizing system outage probability. At the same time, the constraints of resources and service quality are considered. In addition, an enhanced immune-genetic algorithm is proposed innovatively to solve this NP-hard problem and to get the results of RRU transmit power parameters. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm convergences rapidly and our scheme reduces the PSN system outage probability effectively with the guarantee of users received power and the restriction of interference effects. The outage probability of the PSN system using the proposed method is 17.8% of the only cooperative transmit method and 3.9% lower than the only adjust power method.
