Performance Analysis for Cache-enabled Cellular Networks with Cooperative Transmission

The large amount of deployed smart devices put tremendous traffic pressure on networks. Caching at the edge has been widely studied as a promising technique to solve this problem. To further improve the successful transmission probability (STP) of cache-enabled cellular networks (CEN), we combine the cooperative transmission technique with CEN and propose a novel transmission scheme. Local channel state information (CSI) is introduced at each cooperative base station (BS) to enhance the strength of the signal received by the user. A tight approximation for the STP of this scheme is derived using tools from stochastic geometry. The optimal content placement strategy of this scheme is obtained using a numerical method to maximize the STP. Simulation results demonstrate the optimal strategy achieves significant gains in STP over several comparative baselines with the proposed scheme.
