Abstract

The dual frequency Heterogeneous Network (HetNet), including sub-6 GHz networks together with Millimeter Wave (mmWave), achieves the high data rates of user in the networks with hotspots. The cache-enabled HetNets with hotspots are investigated using an analytical framework in which Macro Base Stations (MBSs) and hotspot centers are treated as two independent homogeneous Poisson Point Processes (PPPs), and locations of Small Base Stations (SBSs) and users are modeled as two Poisson Cluster Processes (PCPs). Under the PCP-based modeling method and the Most Popular Caching (MPC) scheme, we propose a cache-enabled association strategy for HetNets with limited storage capacity. The performance of association probability and coverage probability is explicitly derived, and Monte Carlo simulation is utilized to verify that the results are correct. The outcomes of the simulation present the influence of antenna configuration and cache capacities of MBSs and SBSs on network performance. Numerical optimization of the standard deviation ratio of SBSs and users of association probability is enabled by our analysis.
