Analysis and Optimization of Random Cache in Multi-Antenna HetNets with Interference Nulling

From the perspective of statistical performance, this paper presents a framework for the per-user throughput analysis in random cache based multi-antenna heterogeneous networks (HetNets) with user-centric inter-cell interference nulling (IN). Using tools from stochastic geometry, an explicit expression for the per-user throughput is derived. Based on the analytical results, the optimal cache probabilities for maximizing the per-user throughput are analyzed. Theoretical analysis and numerical results reveal that the optimal random cache under interference nulling fully harvests the file diversity gain (FDG) and achieves a promising per-user throughput.
