Abstract
The ultra-dense network (UND) has been considered as an effective scheme to satisfy the growing demands on data rate in the wireless network. And it can easily improve the throughput by increasing the number of base stations. In this paper, the performance of UDN with various small cell densities is evaluated. And the throughput, spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency are taken into consideration to evaluate the performance of the deployment strategies. As can be seen from the simulation results, the throughput and area spectrum efficiency are obviously improved with the increasingly dense cells. However, as the network densification the positive influence on throughput and spectrum efficiency would be decreased.
