JOINT ENERGY AND SINR COVERAGE IN ENERGY HARVESTING MMWAVE CELLULAR NETWORKS WITH USER-CENTRIC BASE STATION DEPLOYMENTS

摘要

In this paper, we consider simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular networks with user-centric base station deployments. The distinguishing features of mmWave communications are incorporated into the system model. Moreover, the locations of user equipments (UEs) are modeled as a Thomas cluster process. First, the association probability is investigated. Subsequently, using tools from stochastic geometry, we analyze the energy coverage and signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) coverage of the network and provide general expressions. Through numerical results, we draw insights on how to model the system to improve the coverage performance.
