Using stochastic geometry tools, we develop a comprehensive framework to analyze the downlink coverage probability, ergodic capacity, and energy efficiency (EE) of various types of users (e.g., users served by direct base station (BS) transmissions and indirect intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted transmissions) in a cellular network with multiple BSs and IRSs. The proposed stochastic geometry framework can capture the impact of channel fading, locations of BSs and IRSs, arbitrary phase-shifts and interference experienced by a typical user supported by direct transmission and/or IRS-assisted transmission. For IRS-assisted transmissions, we first model the desired signal power from the nearest IRS as a sum of scaled generalized gamma (GG) random variables whose parameters are functions of the IRS phase shifts. Then, we derive the Laplace Transform (LT) of the received signal power in a closed form. Also, we model the aggregate interference from multiple IRSs as the sum of normal random variables. Then, we derive the LT of the aggregate interference from all IRSs and BSs. The derived LT expressions are used to calculate coverage probability, ergodic capacity, and EE for users served by direct BS transmissions as well as users served by IRS-assisted transmissions. Finally, we derive the overall network coverage probability, ergodic capacity, and EE based on the fraction of direct and IRS-assisted users, which is defined as a function of the deployment intensity of IRSs, as well as blockage probability of direct transmission links. Numerical results validate the derived analytical expressions and extract useful insights related to the number of IRS elements, large-scale deployment of IRSs and BSs, and the impact of IRS interference on direct transmissions.
Decoupling uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) is a new architectural paradigm where DL and UL are not constrained to be associated to the same base station (BS). Building upon this paradigm, the goal of the present paper is to provide lower, albeit tight
In this paper, a comprehensive study of the the downlink performance in a heterogeneous cellular network (or hetnet) is conducted. A general hetnet model is considered consisting of an arbitrary number of open-access and closed-access tier of base st
In this paper, we consider the downlink signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) analysis in a heterogeneous cellular network with K tiers. Each tier is characterized by a base-station (BS) arrangement according to a homogeneous Poisson point p
We propose a novel analytical framework for evaluating the coverage performance of a millimeter wave (mmWave) cellular network where idle user equipments (UEs) act as relays. In this network, the base station (BS) adopts either the direct mode to tra
We characterize the ergodic spectral efficiency of a non-cooperative and a cooperative type of K-tier heterogeneous networks with limited feedback. In the non-cooperative case, a multi-antenna base station (BS) serves a single-antenna user using maxi
