DistributedBaseStationClustering.jl

DistributedBaseStationClustering.jl is the simulation environment for

R. Brandt, R. Mochaourab and M. Bengtsson, "Interference Alignment-Aided Base Station Clustering using Coalition Formation", Asilomar Conf. Signals, Systems, Computers (Asilomar'15), 2015, pp. 1087-1091. 2nd Prize, Student Paper Contest,

and

R. Brandt, R. Mochaourab and M. Bengtsson, "Distributed Long-Term Base Station Clustering in Cellular Networks using Coalition Formation", IEEE Trans. Signal Inf. Process. Netw., In press.

It provides all the simulation code and scripts required to reproduce the figures from the papers.

Installation and Usage

  1. Install the Julia runtime.
  2. Start the Julia REPL and clone the package by calling Pkg.clone("https://github.com/rasmusbrandt/DistributedBaseStationClustering.jl").
  3. From the terminal, run the corresponding batch scripts in the batch subdirectory.
  4. When the run has finished, the plots in the paper can be generated by calling the appropriate plot scripts.

The scripts in the root directory can be used for exploratory simulations.

Asilomar paper results

The results in the Asilomar conference paper are available in the batch/asilomar subdirectory on the asilomar2015 branch. Since this branch is older, its code is only compatible with Julia 0.3.

TSIPN paper results

The results in the TSIPN journal paper are available in the batch/tsp subdirectory on the tsipn2016 branch.

Software Dependencies

CoordinatedPrecoding.jl is used as a supporting framework for the simulations.
