Résumé: Future wireless communication networks feature a massive number of connected devices and a huge demand for high data rates. Dense deployment of small cell base stations (BSs) in future networks has received a great deal of attention both in academia and industry. A major challenge in dense networks is the interference experienced by users from their neighboring active BSs. A promising solution is to move from cell-centric to user-centric paradigm, allowing each user to be served by a cluster of BSs. This talk introduces several technologies for future wireless communication systems including millimeter wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) networks, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted networks, and hybrid multi-tier networks. We first investigate the performance of a user-centric mmWave network based on a dynamic BS clustering model and a stochastic geometry tool. An optimization framework for the user’s serving cluster is designed to maximize the system spectral efficiency. Considering both dynamic and static clustering, we then study the coverage probability of user-centric THz networks. Next, we extend our user-centric clustering model to 3-D space for energy-efficient air-to-air UAV communication, and provide analytical expressions for the spectral efficiency and energy efficiency of this user-centric UAV network. Furthermore, we consider a user-centric BS clustering for hybrid THz, mmWave, and sub 6-GHz networks, where a user can be associated with the best BS cluster, from either a sub6-GHz, mmWave or THz tier based on either the maximum SINR or the maximum rate criterion. Finally, we adopt the proposed user-centric clustering model to enhance the joint rate and energy coverage of cellular networks with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). We demonstrate that our analytical results highly agree with Monte-Carlo simulations, thus providing valuable insights for future user-centric wireless network design and deployment.
