Abstract
This paper analyzes the cell edge mobile user performance in the downlink cellular system. We develop frame-work for coverage probability and spectral efficiency. In particular, we analyzed the performance of multi-antenna mobile users under multi-antenna base stations (BSs). The expressions of coverage probability and spectral efficiency are derived for cell edge user using stochastic geometry. We investigate how much the performance of cell edge user is improved when distances connecting BSs and cell edge users are modeled with cell edge null probability distribution. The probability of coverage and spectral efficiency is studied using zero-forcing beam-forming and the performance metrics are compared between coordinated scheduling (CS) and without coordinated scheduling (w/o CS). The interesting observation from our results is that the edge user coverage and rate is closely approaching towards the inner cell typical mobile user's rate and coverage, and the performance is verified with relative probability of coverage gain analysis.
