13.7 Conclusion

In this chapter, a new analytical framework for computing coverage and rate of mmWave cellular networks has been proposed. Its novelty lies in taking into account realistic channel and blockage models for mmWave propagation, which are based on empirical data. A two-ball approximation for modeling the link-state of mmWave communications is introduced, which is based on matching the intensity measures of the PPPs of empirical three-state and approximated two-ball link models. The proposed mathematical methodology based on the noise-limited approximation of mmWave cellular systems has been shown to be sufficiently accurate for typical densities of BSs and for transmission bandwidths of the order of gigahertz. For those system setups ...
