Equi-coverage Contours in Cellular Networks
share
In this letter, we introduce a general cellular network model where i) users and BSs are distributed as two general point processes that may be coupled, ii) pathloss is assumed to follow a multi-slope power-law pathloss model, and iii) fading (power) is assumed to be independent across all wireless links. For this setup, we first obtain a set of contours representing the same meta distribution of SIR, which is the distribution of the conditional coverage probability given the point process, for different values of the parameters of the pathloss function and BS and user point processes. This general result is then specialized to 3GPP-inspired user and BS configurations obtained by combining Poisson point process (PPP) and Poisson cluster process (PCP).
