Abstract
Full duplex (FD) in cloud radio access networks (C-RAN) has improved the overall system throughput at most to double the half duplex (HD) counterpart. Although there is an overall improvement in the throughput, it is mainly due to the downlink (DL) rate, while the uplink (UL) rate is highly degraded due to the substantial DL interference. In this paper, we showed how by employing a downlink power control (DLPC), the overall capacity could be improved along with UL rate improvement. In DL, we could achieve 2.9 times the HD rate and 1.5 times that of FD without DLPC. In UL, 1.6 times the HD rate and the improvement up to 3.49 bps/Hz from rates of the order 10−4 bps/Hz of FD without DLPC. We have also shown how by appropriately selecting DL and UL power control parameters, we can reduce the cluster size requirement in the FD C-RAN system and the fronthaul capacity requirements. We use Matern Cluster Process (MCP) to model the network. We provide coverage and rate as integral expressions in terms of special functions and algebraic terms. We also derive closed-form approximations for asymptotic rates and reflect few insights into the system design.
