Impact of LOS/NLOS Propagation and Path Loss in Ultra-Dense Cellular Networks (1602.03644v3)

Published 11 Feb 2016 in cs.IT and math.IT

Abstract: Most prior work on performance analysis of ultra-dense cellular networks (UDNs) has considered standard power-law path loss models and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation modeled by Rayleigh fading. The effect of line-of-sight (LOS) on coverage and throughput and its implication on network densification are still not fully understood. In this paper, we investigate the performance of UDNs when the signal propagation includes both LOS and NLOS components. Using a stochastic geometry based cellular network model, we derive expressions for the coverage probability, as well as tight approximations and upper bounds for both closest and strongest base station (BS) association. Our results show that under standard singular path loss model, LOS propagation increases the coverage, especially with nearest BS association. On the contrary, using dual slope path loss, LOS propagation is beneficial with closest BS association and detrimental for strongest BS association.
