N2 - This research paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the optimization of resource allocation in 5G networks through the technique of Downlink and Uplink Decoupling (DUDe). With the growing need for accurate modeling and scenario planning in 5G systems, DUDe allows for the configuration of an additional, lower frequency signal on the uplink to complement the existing uplink signal, rebalancing the uplink/downlink difference at the cell edge and enhancing coverage and network capacity. Drawing on extensive literature and industry trends, this study explores the benefits and challenges of DUDe, considering its impact on network performance, user experience, and future developments. The paper also introduces a simulation-based methodology and experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of DUDe in improving coverage, capacity, latency, and energy efficiency. The findings contribute to the understanding of DUDe's potential in optimizing 5G networks, providing valuable insights for researchers and network operators in designing and deploying efficient resource allocation strategies for enhanced network performance in various scenarios.
