Abstract

Massive MIMO and heterogeneous networks are the two promising candidates for the future fifth generation (5G) cellular systems. User association policy is one of the most vital issues for the performance of this network. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel user association technique for massive MIMO based heterogeneous cellular networks with coexisting delay tolerant user (DTU) and non-delay tolerant user (NDTU). Proposed technique aims to improve the quality of service (QoS) by accounting the signal quality, call blocking probability and waiting time for associating the user equipment (UE) with appropriate base stations (BSs). The system is modeled using M/M/c/N queue. System performance is evaluated in terms of performance metrics, namely, throughput, call blocking probability and waiting time. Impact of system parameters, such as UE arrival rate, tolerable waiting time and number of antenna are also investigated. Simulation results of this paper demonstrate improved blocking probability and waiting time without compromising throughput.
