Abstract

With an explosion of wireless mobile devices and services, beam-based communication in 5G heterogeneous network (HetNet) has attracted extensive attention recently due to some potential technologies in 5G such as massive MIMO and millimeter wave. This paper proposes an outage probability analysis framework for 5G beamforming HetNet, which is composed of a multi-layer cellular network including macrocells and small cells. The HetNet is affected by base station (BS) densities, transmission powers, beam gains, beamwidths, path loss exponents and cell association bias factors. We derive the association probability, average number of users in a layer and the PDF of the distance to the serving BS for the proposed beamforming HetNet. Then the SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) function is formulated. Moreover, we derive the outage probability of the network and use stochastic geometry to simulate the system performance.
