Performance analysis of indoor-outdoor wireless caching relay system

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel indoor-outdoor caching relay system (CRS) and develops the corresponding caching mechanism, which can improve the utilization of wireless resources. It operates in two phases periodically. In Phase I, spectrum resources of the established links between MBS and user equipment (UE) are extracted to support data caching. In Phase II, caching relay system can directly serve indoor users and the fronthaul resources are released to serve other users. Simulations verify that compared with the conventional relay system (RS) the proposed CRS can improve the system throughput by at most 142% in the reusable data caching cases, only at the cost of temporarily suppressing the traffic rate to establish caching links.
