Abstract

In this book, we define User-Centric Ultra-Dense Networks (UUDN) [1] by introducing the philosophy of network serving user and the “de-cellular” method. UUDN is a wireless network that the AP density is comparable to the user density; this network will organize an AP Group (APG) as a following coverage to serve each user seamlessly without user’s involvement. UUDN lets user feel like a network always following him. So, the network shall intelligently recognize the user’s wireless communication environments, and then flexibly organize the required APG and resource to serve the user to let the user feel like always in the center of a “cell”. Figure 3.1 shows the concept from cell centric to user-centric.
