Analysis of millimeter wave cellular networks with simultaneous wireless information and power transfer

摘要

In this paper, we study the achievable performance of information decoding and harvested power in Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular networks. In particular, by modeling the Base Stations (BSs) as points of a Poisson Point Process (PPP) and by applying Maximum Ratio Transmission (MRT) and Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) at the BSs and Mobile Terminals (MTs), respectively, the Joint Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (JCCDF) of information rate and harvested power is analyzed. Our results show that mmWave cellular networks achieve better JCCDF performance than conventional microWave (μWave) cellular networks.
