Abstract

Ultra-dense networks (UDNs) enable next-generation wireless systems by providing high capacity through aggressive base-station densification. However, dense deployments increase interference and energy consumption, making Quality-of-Service (QoS) aware performance evaluation and optimization challenging. Stochastic geometry (SG) provides a tractable framework for modeling large-scale UDNs, but its use is often limited by simplifying assumptions and simulation requirements. In parallel, Deep Learning (DL) offers scalable tools for capturing complex network behavior from data. This paper proposes a scalable analytical and data-driven framework for performance evaluation and energy efficiency (EE) optimization in UDNs. SG-based analysis is used to derive expressions for key metrics, including coverage probability and EE, under practical QoS constraints such as base-station density, transmit power, activation probability, and SINR thresholds. These results are used to construct a supervised learning dataset, where network parameters and SG derived metrics serve as inputs, and simulation outcomes act as labels. A DL model is trained to capture the nonlinear mapping between network configurations and performance metrics. Results show that the proposed framework predicts coverage probability and EE accurately for unseen UDN scenarios while substantially reducing computational complexity compared to conventional SG-based methods, without violating QoS constraints.
