CGN: A Capacity-Guaranteed Network Architecture for Future Ultra-Dense Wireless Systems

The sixth generation (6G) era is envisioned to be a fully intelligent and autonomous era, with physical and digital lifestyles merged together. Future wireless network architectures should provide a solid support for such new lifestyles. A key problem thus arises that what kind of network architectures are suitable for 6G. In this paper, we propose a capacity-guaranteed network (CGN) architecture, which provides high capacity for wireless devices densely distributed everywhere, and ensures a superior scalability with low signaling overhead and computation complexity simultaneously. Our theorem proves that the essence of a CGN architecture is to decompose the whole network into non-overlapping clusters with equal cluster sum capacity. Simulation results reveal that in terms of the minimum cluster sum capacity, the proposed CGN can achieve at least 30% performance gain compared with existing base station clustering (BS-clustering) architectures. In addition, our theorem is sufficiently general and can be applied for networks with different distributions of BSs and users.
