Truncated Channel Inversion Power Control for the Uplink of mmWave Cellular Networks
In this paper, using the stochastic geometry, we
develop a tractable uplink modeling paradigm for the outage
probability of millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular networks. Our
model takes account of the maximum power limitation and the
per-user equipment (UE) power control as well as the effect of
blockages. More specifically, each UE, which could be in line-ofsight
(LOS) or non-LOS to its serving base station (BS), controls
its transmit power such that the received signal power at its
serving BS is equal to a predefined threshold. Hence, a truncated
channel inversion power control is implemented for the uplink
of the mmWave cellular network. We derive expressions for
the truncated outage probability and the signal-to-interferenceand-
noise-ratio (SINR) outage probability for the uplink of
mmWave cellular networks. Our results show that contrary to the
conventional ultra-high-frequency (UHF) networks there exists a
slow growth region for the truncated outage probability
Outage probability in the uplink of multitier millimeter wave cellular networks
In this article, using the stochastic geometry, we develop a tractable uplink modeling framework for the outage probability of the multitier millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular networks. Each tier’s mmWave base stations (BSs) are randomly located and they have particular spatial density, antenna gain, receiver sensitivity, blockage parameter, and pathloss exponents. Our model takes account of the maximum power limitation and the per-user power control. More specifically, each user, which could be in line-of-sight (LOS) or non-LOS to its serving mmWave BS, controls its transmit power such that the received signal power at its serving BS is equal to a predefined threshold. Hence, a truncated channel inversion power control scheme is implemented for the uplink of mmWave cellular networks. We derive closed-form expressions for the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) outage probability for the uplink of the multitier mmWave cellular networks, which we later degrade to the single-tier network. Furthermore, we analyze the case with a dense network by utilizing the simplified model, where the LOS region is approximated as a fixed LOS disk. The results show that imposing a maximum power constraint on the user significantly affects the SINR outage probability in the uplink of mmWave cellular networks
Coverage Analysis in the Uplink of mmWave Cellular Network
In this paper, we present an analytical framework to evaluate the coverage in the uplink of millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular networks. By using a distance dependent line-of-sight (LOS) probability function, the location of LOS and non-LOS user equipment (UE) are modeled as two independent non-homogeneous Poisson point processes, with each having different pathloss exponent. The analysis takes account of per UE fractional power control (FPC), which couples the transmission of UE due to location-dependent channel inversion. We consider the following scenarios in our analysis: (1) Pathloss based FPC (PL-FPC) which is performed using the measured pathloss and (2) Distance based FPC (D-FPC) which is performed using the measured distance. Results suggest that D-FPC outperforms the PL-FPC at high SINR. Also, the SINR coverage probability decreases as the cell density becomes greater than a threshold
Coverage, capacity and energy efficiency analysis in the uplink of mmWave cellular networks
In this paper, using the concept of stochastic geometry, we present an analytical framework to evaluate the signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) coverage in the uplink of millimeter wave cellular networks. By using a distance-dependent line-of-sight (LOS) probability function, the location of LOS and non-LOS users are modeled as two independent non-homogeneous Poisson point processes, with each having a different pathloss exponent. The analysis takes account of per-user fractional power control (FPC), which couples the transmission of users based on location-dependent channel inversion. We consider the following scenarios in our analysis: 1) Pathloss-based FPC (PL-FPC) which is performed using the measured pathloss and 2) Distance-based FPC (D-FPC) which is performed using the measured distance. Using the developed framework, we derive expressions for the area spectral efficiency and energy efficiency. Results suggest that in terms of SINR coverage, D-FPC outperforms PL-FPC scheme at high SINR where the future networks are expected to operate. It achieves equal or better area spectral efficiency and energy efficiency compared with the PL-FPC scheme. Contrary to the conventional ultra-high frequency cellular networks, in both FPC schemes, the SINR coverage decreases as the cell density becomes greater than a threshold, while the area spectral efficiency experiences a slow growth region
Coverage and rate analysis in the uplink of millimeter wave cellular networks with fractional power control
In this paper, using the concept of stochastic geometry, we present an analytical
framework to evaluate the signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio (SINR) coverage
in the uplink of millimeter wave cellular networks. By using a distance-dependent
line-of-sight (LOS) probability function, the location of LOS and non-LOS users
are modeled as two independent non-homogeneous Poisson point processes, with
each having a different pathloss exponent. The analysis takes account of per-user
fractional power control (FPC), which couples the transmission of users based on
location-dependent channel inversion. We consider the following scenarios in our
analysis: 1) Pathloss-based FPC (PL-FPC) which is performed using the
measured pathloss and 2) Distance-based FPC (D-FPC) which is performed using
the measured distance. Using the developed framework, we derive expressions for
the area spectral efficiency. Results suggest that in terms of SINR coverage,
D-FPC outperforms PL-FPC scheme at high SINR where the future networks are
expected to operate. It achieves equal or better area spectral efficiency compared
with the PL-FPC scheme. Contrary to the conventional ultra-high frequency
cellular networks, in both FPC schemes, the SINR coverage decreases as the cell
density becomes greater than a threshold, while the area spectral efficiency
experiences a slow growth region

Analysis of millimeter wave and massive MIMO cellular networks
Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication and massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) are promising techniques to increase system capacity in 5G cellular networks. The prior frameworks for conventional cellular systems do not directly apply to analyze mmWave or massive MIMO networks, as (i) mmWave cellular networks differ in the different propagation conditions and hardware constraints; and (ii) with a order of magnitude more antennas than conventional multi-user MIMO systems, massive MIMO systems will be operated in time-division duplex (TDD) mode, which renders pilot contamination a primary limiting factor. In this dissertation, I develop stochastic geometry frameworks to analyze the system-level performance of mmWave, sub-6 GHz massive MIMO, and mmWave massive MIMO cellular networks. The proposed models capture the key features of each technique, and allow for tractable signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and rate analyses. In the first contribution, I develop an mmWave cellular network model that incorporates the blockage effect and directional beamforming, and analyze the SINR and rate distributions as functions of the base station density, blockage parameters, and antenna geometry. The analytical results demonstrate that with a sufficiently dense base station deployment, mmWave cellular networks are capable to achieve comparable SINR coverage and much higher rates than conventional networks. In my second contribution, I analyze the uplink SINR and rate in sub-6 GHz massive MIMO networks with the incorporation of pilot contamination and fractional power control. Based on the analysis, I show scaling laws between the number of antennas and scheduled users per cell that maintain the uplink signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) distributions are different for maximum ratio combining (MRC) and zero-forcing (ZF) receivers. In my third contribution, I extend the sub-6 GHz massive MIMO model to mmWave frequencies, by incorporating key mmWave features. I leverage the proposed model to investigate the asymptotic SINR performance, when the number of antennas goes to infinity. Numerical results show that mmWave massive MIMO outperforms its sub-6 GHz counterpart in cell throughput with a dense base station deployment, while the reverse can be true with a low base station density.Electrical and Computer Engineerin
