1 Introduction

The traffic in cellular networks has exponentially increaseddue to high demand for existing and a variety of new wirelessservices and growing number of users of networksThereforeit has become important to utilize the available bandwidthefficiently Also it has becomemandatory due to governmentregulations on greenhouse gas emissions to pay careful atten-tion to design of networks that are energy efficient as wellThus a key issue in the design and implementation of nextgeneration of cellular networks is the joint optimization ofenergy and available spectral resources The mmWave spec-trum is known to offer tremendous bandwidth and can beutilized not only to meet the ever increasing demand for highdata rate services but also to accommodate a large numberof users This spectrum is also a serious contender for Ultra

High Definition Video (UHDV) transmission Several well-known network standards such as ECMA-387 IEEE 80211adand IEEE 802153c are being redefined to fit this spectrumDespite the massive bandwidth potential in the mmWaveband there exist a number of challenges (i) modelingand characterization of propagation environment (ii) designof antenna system (iii) transceiver integration (iv) digitalsignal processing technology

spread and it is possible to effectively suppress intersymbolinterference Wells [2] has shown that the 28 and 73GHzbands are the most natural choices for deployment in themmWave spectrum Also the 28GHz band is being activelypursued for Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS)and is very attractive for use in mmWave cellular networksgiven that this band occupies relatively lower range offrequencies within the mmWave spectrum

In recent years there have beenmany efforts to accuratelymodel themmWave channel for LOS andNLOS transmissionlinks The communication industry has devoted extensiveresources to the development of accurate channelmodels Forinstance Samsung conducted channel measurements in the28GHz band and came up with a model to fit ITU-R andFITU-R standards [3]This model can be used for a mmWavecommunication link over a distance of up to 200 meters Inaddition Nokia Huawei and Deutsch Telekom have shownkeen interest in the 73GHz band and have developed proto-type hardware using the concept of Multiple Input MultipleOutput (MIMO) system to support throughput of 20GbpsA channel model based on stochastic path loss has beenstudied for urban propagation environment in [4] A spatialstatistical model of mmWave channel has been developedas a function of channel parameters including path loss in[5] This model has been derived based on real measure-ments at New York City in 28 and 78GHz bands for LOSand NLOS links

A general framework has been proposed for evaluatingcoverage probability and rate performance in a mmWavecellular network in [6] The short wavelength of mmWavesignals can accommodate a very large number of antennasat the receiver and at the transmitter which makes beam-forming a key enabler technique in obtaining high antennagain Beamforming antenna systems formmWave bands havebeen studied for 5G networks and a novel hybrid beamform-ing algorithm has been proposed for indoor and outdoortransmission links [7] The design and characterization ofmmWave antennas for wireless links are discussed in [8 9]

Shannonrsquos capacity limits and signal processing chal-lenges for giga bit mmWave communication are discussedin [10] Also Madhow has addressed opportunities andchallenges of utilizing MIMO in LOS mmWave communi-cation systems An overview of Impulse Radio-Ultra WideBand (IR-UWB) technology for design of transmitters andreceivers is presented in [11] In [12] coverage and capacityof a dense mmWave network are analyzed using a theoreticalmodel as a function of blockage probability and beamformingbandwidth Also the spectral efficiency (SE) (bitss) of ammWave network is investigated with LOS and NLOS linksin 28 and 73GHz mmWave bands Since minimal powerconsumption has received significance in recent years due togovernment regulations it is important to address this issuefor mmWave cellular networks This issue has not receivedmuch attention in the literature The efficiency metrics forLOS and NLOS links are evaluated for 28 and 73GHz bandsin terms of maximum achievable throughput and maximumpower efficiency in [13] However the work considered onlypath loss to represent the channel effects for transmission dis-tances up to 200m Tan et al have investigated the achievable

downlink spectral efficiency of multiuser mmWave cellularsystem considering both small- and large-scale fading effectsin [14] In [15] energy coverage probability was derived formmWave transmission as a function of network densitybeamforming bandwidth and channel parameters

The trade-off between energy efficiency and spectralefficiency is examined for different access networks in [16]It is demonstrated that for best utilization of mmWave bandsit is important to understand how to trade tolerable delay forlow power The delay-power trade-off is examined for designof an energy efficient cellular network in [17] Levanen et alhave proposed technologies to reduce the delay in mmWavecommunication systems in [18] The challenges of designingenergy efficient mmWave systems are discussed in [19] Theenergy efficiency (EE) (bitJ) metric is presented and evalu-ated for 28 and 73GHz mmWave bands for LOS and NLOSlinksThe investigation is presented as a function of BS trans-mission power Signal-to-NoiseRatio (SNR) network param-eters and mmWave channel parameters The spatial char-acteristics of cellular networks play a significant role in theperformance of mmWave cellular networksThe area spectralefficiency (ASE) and the area energy efficiency (AEE) areimportant metrics that need to be considered in the design ofmmWave networks

Thus the intent of this paper is to examine energyefficiency (EE) spectral efficiency (SE) network latency areaspectral efficiency (ASE) and area energy efficiency (AEE) ofmmWave cellular network in 28 and 73GHz bands for LOSand NLOS links The investigation is presented as a functionof SNR channelmodel parameters network parameters userdistance from BS and BS transmission power This paper isorganized as follows In Section 2 mmWave cellular systemis introduced including cellular network model mmWavesignal propagation and wireless channel models and NR andSINR calculations Section 3 presents evaluation of networkperformance metrics spectral efficiency energy efficiencyspatial spectral and energy efficiencies network latency andoutage probability Also the evaluation of these efficienciesmetrics is discussed Simulation algorithm and the assump-tions that have been made for our analysis are listed inSection 4Moreover the network and channel parameters aretabulated and the numerical results with discussion are alsopresented Finally the work is concluded in Section 5

respectively with 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 being the coverage areaof each small cell BS [25]

The following assumptions are made in Monte Carlo simula-tion

(1) Channel fading coefficients ℎ119894119895119896 in (3) and (4)are independent and identical distributed randomvariables

(2) Transmission power119875119894 in (3) is identical for all smallcell BSs

(3) Antenna gain119866119894 is equal for all BSs that are assumedto be same and antenna gain 119866119896 for all MUs isassumed to be identical

(4) Intercell interference is based on only the first tier ofthe macrocells

(5) Intercell distance 119903119894119895119896 = 3119877 + 119889 and the intracelldistance 119903119894119896 = 2119889 represent the worst MUs in smallcells

(6) Macro cell radius of 119877 = 500m is assumed and themaximum serving distance of a small cell BS is set to119889 = 100m

The cellular network parameters used in the simulations aregiven in Table 2 Simulation and numerical process of thiswork are summarized in the flow chart shown in Figure 3

41 Spectral Efficiency The spectral efficiency of the networkis evaluated in terms of achievable data rate for a specificallocated bandwidth to MU This efficiency metric (bits)is plotted in Figure 4 as a function of maximum servingdistances for LOS and NLOS links in 28 and 73GHz bandswith transmission power fixed at 10 dBm It is observed thatthe maximum achievable data rate in the network can reach1Tbits as 119889 is diminished In this case the macrocell willhave a large number of small cells and intracell interferenceis increased Also it is noted that the spectral efficiencyslightly deteriorates for LOS link while for NLOS link itdecreases rapidly to 015 G bits for 119889 = 100m The spectralefficiency is also investigated as a function of BS power usedfor transmission for a specific value of serving distance 119889 =45m Figure 5 demonstrates that the spectral efficiency isenhanced as power transmitted by the BS is increased Itis observed that there is no significant improvement in thespectral efficiency when the transmission power is above40 dBm This indicates that pumping more power is waste ofBS power resource and hence impacts the energy efficiencyThus for optimum mmWave band utilization transmissionpower over 40 dBm is not required The figure also illustratesthe superiority of high frequency band 73GHz for the LOSlink

For high power transmission the achieved spectral effi-ciencies of the two transmission bands are above 1TbitsSince the SNR at MUs is a function of the BS transmissionpower receiver noise and channel effects the spectral effi-ciency for the 73GHz band for LOS link is presented inFigure 6 as a function of serving distance and SNR It is notedthat the spectral efficiency is an increasing function of SNR

which indicates the mmWave system can overcome the noiseand channel impairmentsThe spectral efficiency ofmmWavecellular networks has been investigated in [14 26] and thenumerical results presented in these works are consistentwith the results illustrated in Figure 5 However the spectralefficiency results of this paper are based on real channelmeasurements

42 Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency metric is a ldquogreencommunicationrdquo indicator since the transmitted power bythe BS plays an important role in its determination Theenergy efficiency metric is a function of the data rate overthe mmWave links and SNR at MUs The energy efficiency isexamined as a function of BS serving distance the transmis-sion power and the SNR The metric is plotted as a functionof transmission power for two mmWave bands and links inFigure 7 It is observed that the 73GHz band is less energyefficient compared to the 28GHz bandThe energy efficiencyis degraded as the transmission power is increased Figure 8shows a comparison of energy efficiency between the twofrequency bands for LOS transmission link as a function of 119889and SNR It is observed that 28GHz band Figure 8(b) attainshigher energy efficiency than the 73GHz band Figure 8(a)In fact the SNR for LOS transmission at 73GHz band isgreater than the SNR forNLOS link at the 28GHz band Alsoit is noted that the efficiency improves up to certain servingdistance 119889 = 30m and then becomes almost constantfor 119889 gt 30m It is noted that trade-off between servingdistance and the transmission power has to be consideredin dimensioning of the network and for optimum utilizationfor the two mmWave bands Energy efficiency of mmWavecellular network has been examined in terms of number ofusers and BS antenna size for full-duplex relaying backhaulsmall cell mmWave networks in [19] for 28GHz and 60GHzbands The results show an increasing function of the trans-mitted powerwhich contradicts the energy efficiency conceptillustrated in Figure 7 Also this metric has been investigatedin terms of propagation environment parameters and BS den-sity for heterogeneous mmWave network overlaid by smallcell BSs in [22] The results are consistent with the resultsillustrated in Figure 8

43 Network Latency Delay is critical metric for real timeapplications in mmWave networks Thus it is importantto address the network delay as a function of networkparameters The delay in mmWave networks is due to severalcomponents such as radio access network backhaul corenetwork and data centers In this paper we consider thetransmission delay between MU and BS For a given userbandwidth and information quantity 119876119896 the transmissiondelay119863 is given by119863 = 119876119896119862 [27] For the network shown inFigure 1 the delay-per-bit per user can be expressed as119863119896

network can be discussed in terms of delay-per-bit and energyefficiency Delay-per-bit is obtained by simulating (9) usingchannel parameters given in Table 1 and network parametersgiven in Table 2 The delay is plotted as a function of BSpower and user distance in Figures 9(a) and 9(b) respectivelyThese figures show that 73GHz band for LOS link achievesless latency than the 28GHz band for NLOS link Figure 9(a)shows that the delay decreases as the BS power increases Forexample the network latency is less than 1 nsbit when theBS power is greater than 20 dBm The energy efficiency ishighly impacted for such large values of BS power as shownin Figure 7 In terms of user distance the network latencyincreases as the distance increases as is clear fromFigure 9(b)In contrast the spectral efficiency is reduced as a functionof user distance which indicates that the two metrics are inconflictTherefore trade-offs among network latency energyefficiency and spectral efficiency metrics must be consideredfor optimum utilization of the mmWave bands

44 Area Spectral Efficiency The area spectral efficiency(ASE) is defined as the ratio of the average spectral efficiencyto the utilized area for a given frequency band For thenetwork in Figure 1 The ASE is calculated as the sum of thespectral efficiencies of each small cell divided by its servingarea and is given by

sum 120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (10)

This ASE metric links the network spectral efficiency and theservice area and is investigated as a function of119875 119889 and SNRIn Figure 10(a) ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 It is noted thatASE is a decreasing function of the distance since the area isproportional to 1198892 Also ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 and SNRin Figure 10(b) which depicts how both factors affect the ASEIt is clear that for large coverage area the network requiresmore BS power to achieve acceptable ASE

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

spread and it is possible to effectively suppress intersymbolinterference Wells [2] has shown that the 28 and 73GHzbands are the most natural choices for deployment in themmWave spectrum Also the 28GHz band is being activelypursued for Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS)and is very attractive for use in mmWave cellular networksgiven that this band occupies relatively lower range offrequencies within the mmWave spectrum

In recent years there have beenmany efforts to accuratelymodel themmWave channel for LOS andNLOS transmissionlinks The communication industry has devoted extensiveresources to the development of accurate channelmodels Forinstance Samsung conducted channel measurements in the28GHz band and came up with a model to fit ITU-R andFITU-R standards [3]This model can be used for a mmWavecommunication link over a distance of up to 200 meters Inaddition Nokia Huawei and Deutsch Telekom have shownkeen interest in the 73GHz band and have developed proto-type hardware using the concept of Multiple Input MultipleOutput (MIMO) system to support throughput of 20GbpsA channel model based on stochastic path loss has beenstudied for urban propagation environment in [4] A spatialstatistical model of mmWave channel has been developedas a function of channel parameters including path loss in[5] This model has been derived based on real measure-ments at New York City in 28 and 78GHz bands for LOSand NLOS links

A general framework has been proposed for evaluatingcoverage probability and rate performance in a mmWavecellular network in [6] The short wavelength of mmWavesignals can accommodate a very large number of antennasat the receiver and at the transmitter which makes beam-forming a key enabler technique in obtaining high antennagain Beamforming antenna systems formmWave bands havebeen studied for 5G networks and a novel hybrid beamform-ing algorithm has been proposed for indoor and outdoortransmission links [7] The design and characterization ofmmWave antennas for wireless links are discussed in [8 9]

Shannonrsquos capacity limits and signal processing chal-lenges for giga bit mmWave communication are discussedin [10] Also Madhow has addressed opportunities andchallenges of utilizing MIMO in LOS mmWave communi-cation systems An overview of Impulse Radio-Ultra WideBand (IR-UWB) technology for design of transmitters andreceivers is presented in [11] In [12] coverage and capacityof a dense mmWave network are analyzed using a theoreticalmodel as a function of blockage probability and beamformingbandwidth Also the spectral efficiency (SE) (bitss) of ammWave network is investigated with LOS and NLOS linksin 28 and 73GHz mmWave bands Since minimal powerconsumption has received significance in recent years due togovernment regulations it is important to address this issuefor mmWave cellular networks This issue has not receivedmuch attention in the literature The efficiency metrics forLOS and NLOS links are evaluated for 28 and 73GHz bandsin terms of maximum achievable throughput and maximumpower efficiency in [13] However the work considered onlypath loss to represent the channel effects for transmission dis-tances up to 200m Tan et al have investigated the achievable

The model of mmWave cellular system is shown in Figure 1The macrocells are divided into small cells shown in thefigureThe 119869macrocells in the network are (119895 = 1 119869)usingthe same frequency and therefore create intercell interferenceEach of the 119895th cells comprises 119868 small cells each with its ownBS (119894 = 1 119868) and uses the same frequency thereby causingintracell interference It is assumed that each small cell hasone BS and it serves 119870 Mobile Users (MUs) (119896 = 1 119870)The BSs are located at the center of small cells and connectedto the gateway of the macrocell The MUs are spatiallydistributed and each one is associated with a single BS at anytime

Energy and spectrum are system resources that have tobe appropriately traded to efficiently design a mmWave

communication system Minimal use of energy resources inthe systems has become an important issue however efficientuse of mmWave spectrum requires more power due to highpath loss Therefore a balance between the use of energy andspectral resources of the system deserves a careful studyThisis examined in this section for a mmWave cellular networkAnalysis of energy and spectral efficiency metrics for suchnetwork is considered which can play an important role inthe standardization of mmWave cellular network

where SNR and SINR can be determined using (3) and(5) respectively The energy efficiency indicates the amountof data rate that can be delivered per unit of SNR perHertz of bandwidth The efficiency metrics are useful in thestandardization of mmWave cellular networks as spectralefficiency provides the maximum rate for each frequencyband and transmission range and energy efficiency givesinsight into how to utilize the energy resources in cells as afunction of data rate

33 Spatial Spectral and Energy Efficiency Spatial character-istics ofmmWave network are crucial in the evaluation of sys-tem performance For example the propagation loss is highlyaffected by network dimensions and hence SNR and SINRare also impactedTherefore studying the spectral and energyefficiencies is not enough for efficient design of mmWavenetworks The spatial spectral and energy efficiencies arebetter metrics for design of networks [24] Accordingly thesemetrics are examined for mmWave networks These metricsare evaluated for macrocell as a sum of each small cell spatialefficiency in which the serving distance 119903 determines thecellsrsquo area

4 Numerical Results

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in MATLABenvironment to evaluate spectral energy and spatial spectraland energy efficiencies for the 28 and 73GHz mmWavebands The efficiency metrics are investigated in terms of BStransmission power BS serving distance and SNRThe stepsused in the simulation are given below

respectively with 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 being the coverage areaof each small cell BS [25]

The following assumptions are made in Monte Carlo simula-tion

(1) Channel fading coefficients ℎ119894119895119896 in (3) and (4)are independent and identical distributed randomvariables

(2) Transmission power119875119894 in (3) is identical for all smallcell BSs

(3) Antenna gain119866119894 is equal for all BSs that are assumedto be same and antenna gain 119866119896 for all MUs isassumed to be identical

(4) Intercell interference is based on only the first tier ofthe macrocells

(5) Intercell distance 119903119894119895119896 = 3119877 + 119889 and the intracelldistance 119903119894119896 = 2119889 represent the worst MUs in smallcells

(6) Macro cell radius of 119877 = 500m is assumed and themaximum serving distance of a small cell BS is set to119889 = 100m

The cellular network parameters used in the simulations aregiven in Table 2 Simulation and numerical process of thiswork are summarized in the flow chart shown in Figure 3

41 Spectral Efficiency The spectral efficiency of the networkis evaluated in terms of achievable data rate for a specificallocated bandwidth to MU This efficiency metric (bits)is plotted in Figure 4 as a function of maximum servingdistances for LOS and NLOS links in 28 and 73GHz bandswith transmission power fixed at 10 dBm It is observed thatthe maximum achievable data rate in the network can reach1Tbits as 119889 is diminished In this case the macrocell willhave a large number of small cells and intracell interferenceis increased Also it is noted that the spectral efficiencyslightly deteriorates for LOS link while for NLOS link itdecreases rapidly to 015 G bits for 119889 = 100m The spectralefficiency is also investigated as a function of BS power usedfor transmission for a specific value of serving distance 119889 =45m Figure 5 demonstrates that the spectral efficiency isenhanced as power transmitted by the BS is increased Itis observed that there is no significant improvement in thespectral efficiency when the transmission power is above40 dBm This indicates that pumping more power is waste ofBS power resource and hence impacts the energy efficiencyThus for optimum mmWave band utilization transmissionpower over 40 dBm is not required The figure also illustratesthe superiority of high frequency band 73GHz for the LOSlink

For high power transmission the achieved spectral effi-ciencies of the two transmission bands are above 1TbitsSince the SNR at MUs is a function of the BS transmissionpower receiver noise and channel effects the spectral effi-ciency for the 73GHz band for LOS link is presented inFigure 6 as a function of serving distance and SNR It is notedthat the spectral efficiency is an increasing function of SNR

which indicates the mmWave system can overcome the noiseand channel impairmentsThe spectral efficiency ofmmWavecellular networks has been investigated in [14 26] and thenumerical results presented in these works are consistentwith the results illustrated in Figure 5 However the spectralefficiency results of this paper are based on real channelmeasurements

42 Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency metric is a ldquogreencommunicationrdquo indicator since the transmitted power bythe BS plays an important role in its determination Theenergy efficiency metric is a function of the data rate overthe mmWave links and SNR at MUs The energy efficiency isexamined as a function of BS serving distance the transmis-sion power and the SNR The metric is plotted as a functionof transmission power for two mmWave bands and links inFigure 7 It is observed that the 73GHz band is less energyefficient compared to the 28GHz bandThe energy efficiencyis degraded as the transmission power is increased Figure 8shows a comparison of energy efficiency between the twofrequency bands for LOS transmission link as a function of 119889and SNR It is observed that 28GHz band Figure 8(b) attainshigher energy efficiency than the 73GHz band Figure 8(a)In fact the SNR for LOS transmission at 73GHz band isgreater than the SNR forNLOS link at the 28GHz band Alsoit is noted that the efficiency improves up to certain servingdistance 119889 = 30m and then becomes almost constantfor 119889 gt 30m It is noted that trade-off between servingdistance and the transmission power has to be consideredin dimensioning of the network and for optimum utilizationfor the two mmWave bands Energy efficiency of mmWavecellular network has been examined in terms of number ofusers and BS antenna size for full-duplex relaying backhaulsmall cell mmWave networks in [19] for 28GHz and 60GHzbands The results show an increasing function of the trans-mitted powerwhich contradicts the energy efficiency conceptillustrated in Figure 7 Also this metric has been investigatedin terms of propagation environment parameters and BS den-sity for heterogeneous mmWave network overlaid by smallcell BSs in [22] The results are consistent with the resultsillustrated in Figure 8

43 Network Latency Delay is critical metric for real timeapplications in mmWave networks Thus it is importantto address the network delay as a function of networkparameters The delay in mmWave networks is due to severalcomponents such as radio access network backhaul corenetwork and data centers In this paper we consider thetransmission delay between MU and BS For a given userbandwidth and information quantity 119876119896 the transmissiondelay119863 is given by119863 = 119876119896119862 [27] For the network shown inFigure 1 the delay-per-bit per user can be expressed as119863119896

network can be discussed in terms of delay-per-bit and energyefficiency Delay-per-bit is obtained by simulating (9) usingchannel parameters given in Table 1 and network parametersgiven in Table 2 The delay is plotted as a function of BSpower and user distance in Figures 9(a) and 9(b) respectivelyThese figures show that 73GHz band for LOS link achievesless latency than the 28GHz band for NLOS link Figure 9(a)shows that the delay decreases as the BS power increases Forexample the network latency is less than 1 nsbit when theBS power is greater than 20 dBm The energy efficiency ishighly impacted for such large values of BS power as shownin Figure 7 In terms of user distance the network latencyincreases as the distance increases as is clear fromFigure 9(b)In contrast the spectral efficiency is reduced as a functionof user distance which indicates that the two metrics are inconflictTherefore trade-offs among network latency energyefficiency and spectral efficiency metrics must be consideredfor optimum utilization of the mmWave bands

44 Area Spectral Efficiency The area spectral efficiency(ASE) is defined as the ratio of the average spectral efficiencyto the utilized area for a given frequency band For thenetwork in Figure 1 The ASE is calculated as the sum of thespectral efficiencies of each small cell divided by its servingarea and is given by

sum 120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (10)

This ASE metric links the network spectral efficiency and theservice area and is investigated as a function of119875 119889 and SNRIn Figure 10(a) ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 It is noted thatASE is a decreasing function of the distance since the area isproportional to 1198892 Also ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 and SNRin Figure 10(b) which depicts how both factors affect the ASEIt is clear that for large coverage area the network requiresmore BS power to achieve acceptable ASE

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

Energy and spectrum are system resources that have tobe appropriately traded to efficiently design a mmWave

communication system Minimal use of energy resources inthe systems has become an important issue however efficientuse of mmWave spectrum requires more power due to highpath loss Therefore a balance between the use of energy andspectral resources of the system deserves a careful studyThisis examined in this section for a mmWave cellular networkAnalysis of energy and spectral efficiency metrics for suchnetwork is considered which can play an important role inthe standardization of mmWave cellular network

where SNR and SINR can be determined using (3) and(5) respectively The energy efficiency indicates the amountof data rate that can be delivered per unit of SNR perHertz of bandwidth The efficiency metrics are useful in thestandardization of mmWave cellular networks as spectralefficiency provides the maximum rate for each frequencyband and transmission range and energy efficiency givesinsight into how to utilize the energy resources in cells as afunction of data rate

33 Spatial Spectral and Energy Efficiency Spatial character-istics ofmmWave network are crucial in the evaluation of sys-tem performance For example the propagation loss is highlyaffected by network dimensions and hence SNR and SINRare also impactedTherefore studying the spectral and energyefficiencies is not enough for efficient design of mmWavenetworks The spatial spectral and energy efficiencies arebetter metrics for design of networks [24] Accordingly thesemetrics are examined for mmWave networks These metricsare evaluated for macrocell as a sum of each small cell spatialefficiency in which the serving distance 119903 determines thecellsrsquo area

4 Numerical Results

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in MATLABenvironment to evaluate spectral energy and spatial spectraland energy efficiencies for the 28 and 73GHz mmWavebands The efficiency metrics are investigated in terms of BStransmission power BS serving distance and SNRThe stepsused in the simulation are given below

(1) The path loss for 28 and 73GHz bands is calculatedfor LOS and NLOS using (2) for each value of 119875 and119903 and the model parameters are given in Table 1

(2) SNR is computed using (3) in which small-scalefading is modelled using Gamma distribution |ℎ|2 simG(V 1V) and (3) parameters are given in Table 2

(3) For the network model Figure 1 the aggregatedintercell and intracell interferences are obtained using(4)

(4) The SINR is determined (5) for 1205902119896 = KT119882119896(5) Spectral and energy efficiency metrics are computed

using (6) and (8) with 119875out calculated using (7) seeFigure 2

(6) The spatial spectral and energy efficiency metrics arecomputed using sum(120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894) and sum(120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894)

respectively with 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 being the coverage areaof each small cell BS [25]

The following assumptions are made in Monte Carlo simula-tion

(1) Channel fading coefficients ℎ119894119895119896 in (3) and (4)are independent and identical distributed randomvariables

(2) Transmission power119875119894 in (3) is identical for all smallcell BSs

(3) Antenna gain119866119894 is equal for all BSs that are assumedto be same and antenna gain 119866119896 for all MUs isassumed to be identical

(4) Intercell interference is based on only the first tier ofthe macrocells

(5) Intercell distance 119903119894119895119896 = 3119877 + 119889 and the intracelldistance 119903119894119896 = 2119889 represent the worst MUs in smallcells

(6) Macro cell radius of 119877 = 500m is assumed and themaximum serving distance of a small cell BS is set to119889 = 100m

The cellular network parameters used in the simulations aregiven in Table 2 Simulation and numerical process of thiswork are summarized in the flow chart shown in Figure 3

41 Spectral Efficiency The spectral efficiency of the networkis evaluated in terms of achievable data rate for a specificallocated bandwidth to MU This efficiency metric (bits)is plotted in Figure 4 as a function of maximum servingdistances for LOS and NLOS links in 28 and 73GHz bandswith transmission power fixed at 10 dBm It is observed thatthe maximum achievable data rate in the network can reach1Tbits as 119889 is diminished In this case the macrocell willhave a large number of small cells and intracell interferenceis increased Also it is noted that the spectral efficiencyslightly deteriorates for LOS link while for NLOS link itdecreases rapidly to 015 G bits for 119889 = 100m The spectralefficiency is also investigated as a function of BS power usedfor transmission for a specific value of serving distance 119889 =45m Figure 5 demonstrates that the spectral efficiency isenhanced as power transmitted by the BS is increased Itis observed that there is no significant improvement in thespectral efficiency when the transmission power is above40 dBm This indicates that pumping more power is waste ofBS power resource and hence impacts the energy efficiencyThus for optimum mmWave band utilization transmissionpower over 40 dBm is not required The figure also illustratesthe superiority of high frequency band 73GHz for the LOSlink

For high power transmission the achieved spectral effi-ciencies of the two transmission bands are above 1TbitsSince the SNR at MUs is a function of the BS transmissionpower receiver noise and channel effects the spectral effi-ciency for the 73GHz band for LOS link is presented inFigure 6 as a function of serving distance and SNR It is notedthat the spectral efficiency is an increasing function of SNR

which indicates the mmWave system can overcome the noiseand channel impairmentsThe spectral efficiency ofmmWavecellular networks has been investigated in [14 26] and thenumerical results presented in these works are consistentwith the results illustrated in Figure 5 However the spectralefficiency results of this paper are based on real channelmeasurements

42 Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency metric is a ldquogreencommunicationrdquo indicator since the transmitted power bythe BS plays an important role in its determination Theenergy efficiency metric is a function of the data rate overthe mmWave links and SNR at MUs The energy efficiency isexamined as a function of BS serving distance the transmis-sion power and the SNR The metric is plotted as a functionof transmission power for two mmWave bands and links inFigure 7 It is observed that the 73GHz band is less energyefficient compared to the 28GHz bandThe energy efficiencyis degraded as the transmission power is increased Figure 8shows a comparison of energy efficiency between the twofrequency bands for LOS transmission link as a function of 119889and SNR It is observed that 28GHz band Figure 8(b) attainshigher energy efficiency than the 73GHz band Figure 8(a)In fact the SNR for LOS transmission at 73GHz band isgreater than the SNR forNLOS link at the 28GHz band Alsoit is noted that the efficiency improves up to certain servingdistance 119889 = 30m and then becomes almost constantfor 119889 gt 30m It is noted that trade-off between servingdistance and the transmission power has to be consideredin dimensioning of the network and for optimum utilizationfor the two mmWave bands Energy efficiency of mmWavecellular network has been examined in terms of number ofusers and BS antenna size for full-duplex relaying backhaulsmall cell mmWave networks in [19] for 28GHz and 60GHzbands The results show an increasing function of the trans-mitted powerwhich contradicts the energy efficiency conceptillustrated in Figure 7 Also this metric has been investigatedin terms of propagation environment parameters and BS den-sity for heterogeneous mmWave network overlaid by smallcell BSs in [22] The results are consistent with the resultsillustrated in Figure 8

43 Network Latency Delay is critical metric for real timeapplications in mmWave networks Thus it is importantto address the network delay as a function of networkparameters The delay in mmWave networks is due to severalcomponents such as radio access network backhaul corenetwork and data centers In this paper we consider thetransmission delay between MU and BS For a given userbandwidth and information quantity 119876119896 the transmissiondelay119863 is given by119863 = 119876119896119862 [27] For the network shown inFigure 1 the delay-per-bit per user can be expressed as119863119896

where 119876119896 = 1 and SINR119895119894119896 is given by (5) The trade-off among latency and efficiency metrics of the mmWave

network can be discussed in terms of delay-per-bit and energyefficiency Delay-per-bit is obtained by simulating (9) usingchannel parameters given in Table 1 and network parametersgiven in Table 2 The delay is plotted as a function of BSpower and user distance in Figures 9(a) and 9(b) respectivelyThese figures show that 73GHz band for LOS link achievesless latency than the 28GHz band for NLOS link Figure 9(a)shows that the delay decreases as the BS power increases Forexample the network latency is less than 1 nsbit when theBS power is greater than 20 dBm The energy efficiency ishighly impacted for such large values of BS power as shownin Figure 7 In terms of user distance the network latencyincreases as the distance increases as is clear fromFigure 9(b)In contrast the spectral efficiency is reduced as a functionof user distance which indicates that the two metrics are inconflictTherefore trade-offs among network latency energyefficiency and spectral efficiency metrics must be consideredfor optimum utilization of the mmWave bands

44 Area Spectral Efficiency The area spectral efficiency(ASE) is defined as the ratio of the average spectral efficiencyto the utilized area for a given frequency band For thenetwork in Figure 1 The ASE is calculated as the sum of thespectral efficiencies of each small cell divided by its servingarea and is given by

sum 120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (10)

This ASE metric links the network spectral efficiency and theservice area and is investigated as a function of119875 119889 and SNRIn Figure 10(a) ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 It is noted thatASE is a decreasing function of the distance since the area isproportional to 1198892 Also ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 and SNRin Figure 10(b) which depicts how both factors affect the ASEIt is clear that for large coverage area the network requiresmore BS power to achieve acceptable ASE

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

5 Conclusions

In this paper mmWave cellular network is considered forindoor and outdoor applications in which the macrocells are

23 Signal-to-Interference-Plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) ModelBased on the network model shown in Figure 1 for the119896th MU in the 119894th small cell serving BS in the 119895th macrocell the interference consists of two components which areintracell interference and intercell interference The first oneis caused by the active BSs located in the same 119895th cell whichis more severe since it is close to the MU While the secondcomponent is generated from the BSs in the other macro cellswhich is less intense When the cochannel interference dueto first tier macrocell is considered the downlink aggregatedinterference in the 119904 small cell BS and 119901macro cell for the 119896thMU can be expressed as

Energy and spectrum are system resources that have tobe appropriately traded to efficiently design a mmWave

communication system Minimal use of energy resources inthe systems has become an important issue however efficientuse of mmWave spectrum requires more power due to highpath loss Therefore a balance between the use of energy andspectral resources of the system deserves a careful studyThisis examined in this section for a mmWave cellular networkAnalysis of energy and spectral efficiency metrics for suchnetwork is considered which can play an important role inthe standardization of mmWave cellular network

where 120574 is the parameter that depends on the propagationenvironment density and 120588 is the BS density The outageprobability is plotted as a function of 120574 and 119877 for a given 120588 =10minus4 in Figure 2 It is observed that 119875out is nearly constant for119877 gt 300m Since the proposed network dimensions are largewith macro cell radius 119877 ⩾ 500m the outage probability canbe approximated by 119875out119895 = 119890minus21205871205881198951205742119895 32 Network Energy Efficiency The energy efficiency isdefined as a ratio between what the system delivers to what itconsumes and hence the efficiency function can be describedas 119891(119909)119909 where 119909 isin [0 119883] indicates the systemrsquos resourcesconstrained by 119883 [23] In this paper 119891(119909) represents the

where SNR and SINR can be determined using (3) and(5) respectively The energy efficiency indicates the amountof data rate that can be delivered per unit of SNR perHertz of bandwidth The efficiency metrics are useful in thestandardization of mmWave cellular networks as spectralefficiency provides the maximum rate for each frequencyband and transmission range and energy efficiency givesinsight into how to utilize the energy resources in cells as afunction of data rate

33 Spatial Spectral and Energy Efficiency Spatial character-istics ofmmWave network are crucial in the evaluation of sys-tem performance For example the propagation loss is highlyaffected by network dimensions and hence SNR and SINRare also impactedTherefore studying the spectral and energyefficiencies is not enough for efficient design of mmWavenetworks The spatial spectral and energy efficiencies arebetter metrics for design of networks [24] Accordingly thesemetrics are examined for mmWave networks These metricsare evaluated for macrocell as a sum of each small cell spatialefficiency in which the serving distance 119903 determines thecellsrsquo area

4 Numerical Results

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in MATLABenvironment to evaluate spectral energy and spatial spectraland energy efficiencies for the 28 and 73GHz mmWavebands The efficiency metrics are investigated in terms of BStransmission power BS serving distance and SNRThe stepsused in the simulation are given below

(1) The path loss for 28 and 73GHz bands is calculatedfor LOS and NLOS using (2) for each value of 119875 and119903 and the model parameters are given in Table 1

(2) SNR is computed using (3) in which small-scalefading is modelled using Gamma distribution |ℎ|2 simG(V 1V) and (3) parameters are given in Table 2

(3) For the network model Figure 1 the aggregatedintercell and intracell interferences are obtained using(4)

(4) The SINR is determined (5) for 1205902119896 = KT119882119896(5) Spectral and energy efficiency metrics are computed

respectively with 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 being the coverage areaof each small cell BS [25]

The following assumptions are made in Monte Carlo simula-tion

(1) Channel fading coefficients ℎ119894119895119896 in (3) and (4)are independent and identical distributed randomvariables

(2) Transmission power119875119894 in (3) is identical for all smallcell BSs

(3) Antenna gain119866119894 is equal for all BSs that are assumedto be same and antenna gain 119866119896 for all MUs isassumed to be identical

(4) Intercell interference is based on only the first tier ofthe macrocells

(5) Intercell distance 119903119894119895119896 = 3119877 + 119889 and the intracelldistance 119903119894119896 = 2119889 represent the worst MUs in smallcells

(6) Macro cell radius of 119877 = 500m is assumed and themaximum serving distance of a small cell BS is set to119889 = 100m

The cellular network parameters used in the simulations aregiven in Table 2 Simulation and numerical process of thiswork are summarized in the flow chart shown in Figure 3

41 Spectral Efficiency The spectral efficiency of the networkis evaluated in terms of achievable data rate for a specificallocated bandwidth to MU This efficiency metric (bits)is plotted in Figure 4 as a function of maximum servingdistances for LOS and NLOS links in 28 and 73GHz bandswith transmission power fixed at 10 dBm It is observed thatthe maximum achievable data rate in the network can reach1Tbits as 119889 is diminished In this case the macrocell willhave a large number of small cells and intracell interferenceis increased Also it is noted that the spectral efficiencyslightly deteriorates for LOS link while for NLOS link itdecreases rapidly to 015 G bits for 119889 = 100m The spectralefficiency is also investigated as a function of BS power usedfor transmission for a specific value of serving distance 119889 =45m Figure 5 demonstrates that the spectral efficiency isenhanced as power transmitted by the BS is increased Itis observed that there is no significant improvement in thespectral efficiency when the transmission power is above40 dBm This indicates that pumping more power is waste ofBS power resource and hence impacts the energy efficiencyThus for optimum mmWave band utilization transmissionpower over 40 dBm is not required The figure also illustratesthe superiority of high frequency band 73GHz for the LOSlink

For high power transmission the achieved spectral effi-ciencies of the two transmission bands are above 1TbitsSince the SNR at MUs is a function of the BS transmissionpower receiver noise and channel effects the spectral effi-ciency for the 73GHz band for LOS link is presented inFigure 6 as a function of serving distance and SNR It is notedthat the spectral efficiency is an increasing function of SNR

which indicates the mmWave system can overcome the noiseand channel impairmentsThe spectral efficiency ofmmWavecellular networks has been investigated in [14 26] and thenumerical results presented in these works are consistentwith the results illustrated in Figure 5 However the spectralefficiency results of this paper are based on real channelmeasurements

42 Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency metric is a ldquogreencommunicationrdquo indicator since the transmitted power bythe BS plays an important role in its determination Theenergy efficiency metric is a function of the data rate overthe mmWave links and SNR at MUs The energy efficiency isexamined as a function of BS serving distance the transmis-sion power and the SNR The metric is plotted as a functionof transmission power for two mmWave bands and links inFigure 7 It is observed that the 73GHz band is less energyefficient compared to the 28GHz bandThe energy efficiencyis degraded as the transmission power is increased Figure 8shows a comparison of energy efficiency between the twofrequency bands for LOS transmission link as a function of 119889and SNR It is observed that 28GHz band Figure 8(b) attainshigher energy efficiency than the 73GHz band Figure 8(a)In fact the SNR for LOS transmission at 73GHz band isgreater than the SNR forNLOS link at the 28GHz band Alsoit is noted that the efficiency improves up to certain servingdistance 119889 = 30m and then becomes almost constantfor 119889 gt 30m It is noted that trade-off between servingdistance and the transmission power has to be consideredin dimensioning of the network and for optimum utilizationfor the two mmWave bands Energy efficiency of mmWavecellular network has been examined in terms of number ofusers and BS antenna size for full-duplex relaying backhaulsmall cell mmWave networks in [19] for 28GHz and 60GHzbands The results show an increasing function of the trans-mitted powerwhich contradicts the energy efficiency conceptillustrated in Figure 7 Also this metric has been investigatedin terms of propagation environment parameters and BS den-sity for heterogeneous mmWave network overlaid by smallcell BSs in [22] The results are consistent with the resultsillustrated in Figure 8

43 Network Latency Delay is critical metric for real timeapplications in mmWave networks Thus it is importantto address the network delay as a function of networkparameters The delay in mmWave networks is due to severalcomponents such as radio access network backhaul corenetwork and data centers In this paper we consider thetransmission delay between MU and BS For a given userbandwidth and information quantity 119876119896 the transmissiondelay119863 is given by119863 = 119876119896119862 [27] For the network shown inFigure 1 the delay-per-bit per user can be expressed as119863119896

network can be discussed in terms of delay-per-bit and energyefficiency Delay-per-bit is obtained by simulating (9) usingchannel parameters given in Table 1 and network parametersgiven in Table 2 The delay is plotted as a function of BSpower and user distance in Figures 9(a) and 9(b) respectivelyThese figures show that 73GHz band for LOS link achievesless latency than the 28GHz band for NLOS link Figure 9(a)shows that the delay decreases as the BS power increases Forexample the network latency is less than 1 nsbit when theBS power is greater than 20 dBm The energy efficiency ishighly impacted for such large values of BS power as shownin Figure 7 In terms of user distance the network latencyincreases as the distance increases as is clear fromFigure 9(b)In contrast the spectral efficiency is reduced as a functionof user distance which indicates that the two metrics are inconflictTherefore trade-offs among network latency energyefficiency and spectral efficiency metrics must be consideredfor optimum utilization of the mmWave bands

44 Area Spectral Efficiency The area spectral efficiency(ASE) is defined as the ratio of the average spectral efficiencyto the utilized area for a given frequency band For thenetwork in Figure 1 The ASE is calculated as the sum of thespectral efficiencies of each small cell divided by its servingarea and is given by

sum 120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (10)

This ASE metric links the network spectral efficiency and theservice area and is investigated as a function of119875 119889 and SNRIn Figure 10(a) ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 It is noted thatASE is a decreasing function of the distance since the area isproportional to 1198892 Also ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 and SNRin Figure 10(b) which depicts how both factors affect the ASEIt is clear that for large coverage area the network requiresmore BS power to achieve acceptable ASE

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

where SNR and SINR can be determined using (3) and(5) respectively The energy efficiency indicates the amountof data rate that can be delivered per unit of SNR perHertz of bandwidth The efficiency metrics are useful in thestandardization of mmWave cellular networks as spectralefficiency provides the maximum rate for each frequencyband and transmission range and energy efficiency givesinsight into how to utilize the energy resources in cells as afunction of data rate

33 Spatial Spectral and Energy Efficiency Spatial character-istics ofmmWave network are crucial in the evaluation of sys-tem performance For example the propagation loss is highlyaffected by network dimensions and hence SNR and SINRare also impactedTherefore studying the spectral and energyefficiencies is not enough for efficient design of mmWavenetworks The spatial spectral and energy efficiencies arebetter metrics for design of networks [24] Accordingly thesemetrics are examined for mmWave networks These metricsare evaluated for macrocell as a sum of each small cell spatialefficiency in which the serving distance 119903 determines thecellsrsquo area

4 Numerical Results

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in MATLABenvironment to evaluate spectral energy and spatial spectraland energy efficiencies for the 28 and 73GHz mmWavebands The efficiency metrics are investigated in terms of BStransmission power BS serving distance and SNRThe stepsused in the simulation are given below

(1) The path loss for 28 and 73GHz bands is calculatedfor LOS and NLOS using (2) for each value of 119875 and119903 and the model parameters are given in Table 1

(2) SNR is computed using (3) in which small-scalefading is modelled using Gamma distribution |ℎ|2 simG(V 1V) and (3) parameters are given in Table 2

(3) For the network model Figure 1 the aggregatedintercell and intracell interferences are obtained using(4)

(4) The SINR is determined (5) for 1205902119896 = KT119882119896(5) Spectral and energy efficiency metrics are computed

using (6) and (8) with 119875out calculated using (7) seeFigure 2

(6) The spatial spectral and energy efficiency metrics arecomputed using sum(120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894) and sum(120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894)

respectively with 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 being the coverage areaof each small cell BS [25]

The following assumptions are made in Monte Carlo simula-tion

(1) Channel fading coefficients ℎ119894119895119896 in (3) and (4)are independent and identical distributed randomvariables

(2) Transmission power119875119894 in (3) is identical for all smallcell BSs

(3) Antenna gain119866119894 is equal for all BSs that are assumedto be same and antenna gain 119866119896 for all MUs isassumed to be identical

(4) Intercell interference is based on only the first tier ofthe macrocells

(5) Intercell distance 119903119894119895119896 = 3119877 + 119889 and the intracelldistance 119903119894119896 = 2119889 represent the worst MUs in smallcells

(6) Macro cell radius of 119877 = 500m is assumed and themaximum serving distance of a small cell BS is set to119889 = 100m

The cellular network parameters used in the simulations aregiven in Table 2 Simulation and numerical process of thiswork are summarized in the flow chart shown in Figure 3

41 Spectral Efficiency The spectral efficiency of the networkis evaluated in terms of achievable data rate for a specificallocated bandwidth to MU This efficiency metric (bits)is plotted in Figure 4 as a function of maximum servingdistances for LOS and NLOS links in 28 and 73GHz bandswith transmission power fixed at 10 dBm It is observed thatthe maximum achievable data rate in the network can reach1Tbits as 119889 is diminished In this case the macrocell willhave a large number of small cells and intracell interferenceis increased Also it is noted that the spectral efficiencyslightly deteriorates for LOS link while for NLOS link itdecreases rapidly to 015 G bits for 119889 = 100m The spectralefficiency is also investigated as a function of BS power usedfor transmission for a specific value of serving distance 119889 =45m Figure 5 demonstrates that the spectral efficiency isenhanced as power transmitted by the BS is increased Itis observed that there is no significant improvement in thespectral efficiency when the transmission power is above40 dBm This indicates that pumping more power is waste ofBS power resource and hence impacts the energy efficiencyThus for optimum mmWave band utilization transmissionpower over 40 dBm is not required The figure also illustratesthe superiority of high frequency band 73GHz for the LOSlink

For high power transmission the achieved spectral effi-ciencies of the two transmission bands are above 1TbitsSince the SNR at MUs is a function of the BS transmissionpower receiver noise and channel effects the spectral effi-ciency for the 73GHz band for LOS link is presented inFigure 6 as a function of serving distance and SNR It is notedthat the spectral efficiency is an increasing function of SNR

which indicates the mmWave system can overcome the noiseand channel impairmentsThe spectral efficiency ofmmWavecellular networks has been investigated in [14 26] and thenumerical results presented in these works are consistentwith the results illustrated in Figure 5 However the spectralefficiency results of this paper are based on real channelmeasurements

42 Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency metric is a ldquogreencommunicationrdquo indicator since the transmitted power bythe BS plays an important role in its determination Theenergy efficiency metric is a function of the data rate overthe mmWave links and SNR at MUs The energy efficiency isexamined as a function of BS serving distance the transmis-sion power and the SNR The metric is plotted as a functionof transmission power for two mmWave bands and links inFigure 7 It is observed that the 73GHz band is less energyefficient compared to the 28GHz bandThe energy efficiencyis degraded as the transmission power is increased Figure 8shows a comparison of energy efficiency between the twofrequency bands for LOS transmission link as a function of 119889and SNR It is observed that 28GHz band Figure 8(b) attainshigher energy efficiency than the 73GHz band Figure 8(a)In fact the SNR for LOS transmission at 73GHz band isgreater than the SNR forNLOS link at the 28GHz band Alsoit is noted that the efficiency improves up to certain servingdistance 119889 = 30m and then becomes almost constantfor 119889 gt 30m It is noted that trade-off between servingdistance and the transmission power has to be consideredin dimensioning of the network and for optimum utilizationfor the two mmWave bands Energy efficiency of mmWavecellular network has been examined in terms of number ofusers and BS antenna size for full-duplex relaying backhaulsmall cell mmWave networks in [19] for 28GHz and 60GHzbands The results show an increasing function of the trans-mitted powerwhich contradicts the energy efficiency conceptillustrated in Figure 7 Also this metric has been investigatedin terms of propagation environment parameters and BS den-sity for heterogeneous mmWave network overlaid by smallcell BSs in [22] The results are consistent with the resultsillustrated in Figure 8

43 Network Latency Delay is critical metric for real timeapplications in mmWave networks Thus it is importantto address the network delay as a function of networkparameters The delay in mmWave networks is due to severalcomponents such as radio access network backhaul corenetwork and data centers In this paper we consider thetransmission delay between MU and BS For a given userbandwidth and information quantity 119876119896 the transmissiondelay119863 is given by119863 = 119876119896119862 [27] For the network shown inFigure 1 the delay-per-bit per user can be expressed as119863119896

where 119876119896 = 1 and SINR119895119894119896 is given by (5) The trade-off among latency and efficiency metrics of the mmWave

Figure 7 Energy efficiency of 28GHz and 73GHz mmWave bandsfor NLOS and LOS links as a function of BS power

network can be discussed in terms of delay-per-bit and energyefficiency Delay-per-bit is obtained by simulating (9) usingchannel parameters given in Table 1 and network parametersgiven in Table 2 The delay is plotted as a function of BSpower and user distance in Figures 9(a) and 9(b) respectivelyThese figures show that 73GHz band for LOS link achievesless latency than the 28GHz band for NLOS link Figure 9(a)shows that the delay decreases as the BS power increases Forexample the network latency is less than 1 nsbit when theBS power is greater than 20 dBm The energy efficiency ishighly impacted for such large values of BS power as shownin Figure 7 In terms of user distance the network latencyincreases as the distance increases as is clear fromFigure 9(b)In contrast the spectral efficiency is reduced as a functionof user distance which indicates that the two metrics are inconflictTherefore trade-offs among network latency energyefficiency and spectral efficiency metrics must be consideredfor optimum utilization of the mmWave bands

44 Area Spectral Efficiency The area spectral efficiency(ASE) is defined as the ratio of the average spectral efficiencyto the utilized area for a given frequency band For thenetwork in Figure 1 The ASE is calculated as the sum of thespectral efficiencies of each small cell divided by its servingarea and is given by

sum 120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (10)

This ASE metric links the network spectral efficiency and theservice area and is investigated as a function of119875 119889 and SNRIn Figure 10(a) ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 It is noted thatASE is a decreasing function of the distance since the area isproportional to 1198892 Also ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 and SNRin Figure 10(b) which depicts how both factors affect the ASEIt is clear that for large coverage area the network requiresmore BS power to achieve acceptable ASE

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

respectively with 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 being the coverage areaof each small cell BS [25]

The following assumptions are made in Monte Carlo simula-tion

(1) Channel fading coefficients ℎ119894119895119896 in (3) and (4)are independent and identical distributed randomvariables

(2) Transmission power119875119894 in (3) is identical for all smallcell BSs

(3) Antenna gain119866119894 is equal for all BSs that are assumedto be same and antenna gain 119866119896 for all MUs isassumed to be identical

(4) Intercell interference is based on only the first tier ofthe macrocells

(5) Intercell distance 119903119894119895119896 = 3119877 + 119889 and the intracelldistance 119903119894119896 = 2119889 represent the worst MUs in smallcells

(6) Macro cell radius of 119877 = 500m is assumed and themaximum serving distance of a small cell BS is set to119889 = 100m

The cellular network parameters used in the simulations aregiven in Table 2 Simulation and numerical process of thiswork are summarized in the flow chart shown in Figure 3

41 Spectral Efficiency The spectral efficiency of the networkis evaluated in terms of achievable data rate for a specificallocated bandwidth to MU This efficiency metric (bits)is plotted in Figure 4 as a function of maximum servingdistances for LOS and NLOS links in 28 and 73GHz bandswith transmission power fixed at 10 dBm It is observed thatthe maximum achievable data rate in the network can reach1Tbits as 119889 is diminished In this case the macrocell willhave a large number of small cells and intracell interferenceis increased Also it is noted that the spectral efficiencyslightly deteriorates for LOS link while for NLOS link itdecreases rapidly to 015 G bits for 119889 = 100m The spectralefficiency is also investigated as a function of BS power usedfor transmission for a specific value of serving distance 119889 =45m Figure 5 demonstrates that the spectral efficiency isenhanced as power transmitted by the BS is increased Itis observed that there is no significant improvement in thespectral efficiency when the transmission power is above40 dBm This indicates that pumping more power is waste ofBS power resource and hence impacts the energy efficiencyThus for optimum mmWave band utilization transmissionpower over 40 dBm is not required The figure also illustratesthe superiority of high frequency band 73GHz for the LOSlink

For high power transmission the achieved spectral effi-ciencies of the two transmission bands are above 1TbitsSince the SNR at MUs is a function of the BS transmissionpower receiver noise and channel effects the spectral effi-ciency for the 73GHz band for LOS link is presented inFigure 6 as a function of serving distance and SNR It is notedthat the spectral efficiency is an increasing function of SNR

which indicates the mmWave system can overcome the noiseand channel impairmentsThe spectral efficiency ofmmWavecellular networks has been investigated in [14 26] and thenumerical results presented in these works are consistentwith the results illustrated in Figure 5 However the spectralefficiency results of this paper are based on real channelmeasurements

42 Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency metric is a ldquogreencommunicationrdquo indicator since the transmitted power bythe BS plays an important role in its determination Theenergy efficiency metric is a function of the data rate overthe mmWave links and SNR at MUs The energy efficiency isexamined as a function of BS serving distance the transmis-sion power and the SNR The metric is plotted as a functionof transmission power for two mmWave bands and links inFigure 7 It is observed that the 73GHz band is less energyefficient compared to the 28GHz bandThe energy efficiencyis degraded as the transmission power is increased Figure 8shows a comparison of energy efficiency between the twofrequency bands for LOS transmission link as a function of 119889and SNR It is observed that 28GHz band Figure 8(b) attainshigher energy efficiency than the 73GHz band Figure 8(a)In fact the SNR for LOS transmission at 73GHz band isgreater than the SNR forNLOS link at the 28GHz band Alsoit is noted that the efficiency improves up to certain servingdistance 119889 = 30m and then becomes almost constantfor 119889 gt 30m It is noted that trade-off between servingdistance and the transmission power has to be consideredin dimensioning of the network and for optimum utilizationfor the two mmWave bands Energy efficiency of mmWavecellular network has been examined in terms of number ofusers and BS antenna size for full-duplex relaying backhaulsmall cell mmWave networks in [19] for 28GHz and 60GHzbands The results show an increasing function of the trans-mitted powerwhich contradicts the energy efficiency conceptillustrated in Figure 7 Also this metric has been investigatedin terms of propagation environment parameters and BS den-sity for heterogeneous mmWave network overlaid by smallcell BSs in [22] The results are consistent with the resultsillustrated in Figure 8

43 Network Latency Delay is critical metric for real timeapplications in mmWave networks Thus it is importantto address the network delay as a function of networkparameters The delay in mmWave networks is due to severalcomponents such as radio access network backhaul corenetwork and data centers In this paper we consider thetransmission delay between MU and BS For a given userbandwidth and information quantity 119876119896 the transmissiondelay119863 is given by119863 = 119876119896119862 [27] For the network shown inFigure 1 the delay-per-bit per user can be expressed as119863119896

= 119876119896119882119896E119903 [Eℎ [log2 (1 + SINR119895119894119896)]] (1 minus 119875out119895 (119877)) (9)

where 119876119896 = 1 and SINR119895119894119896 is given by (5) The trade-off among latency and efficiency metrics of the mmWave

Figure 7 Energy efficiency of 28GHz and 73GHz mmWave bandsfor NLOS and LOS links as a function of BS power

network can be discussed in terms of delay-per-bit and energyefficiency Delay-per-bit is obtained by simulating (9) usingchannel parameters given in Table 1 and network parametersgiven in Table 2 The delay is plotted as a function of BSpower and user distance in Figures 9(a) and 9(b) respectivelyThese figures show that 73GHz band for LOS link achievesless latency than the 28GHz band for NLOS link Figure 9(a)shows that the delay decreases as the BS power increases Forexample the network latency is less than 1 nsbit when theBS power is greater than 20 dBm The energy efficiency ishighly impacted for such large values of BS power as shownin Figure 7 In terms of user distance the network latencyincreases as the distance increases as is clear fromFigure 9(b)In contrast the spectral efficiency is reduced as a functionof user distance which indicates that the two metrics are inconflictTherefore trade-offs among network latency energyefficiency and spectral efficiency metrics must be consideredfor optimum utilization of the mmWave bands

44 Area Spectral Efficiency The area spectral efficiency(ASE) is defined as the ratio of the average spectral efficiencyto the utilized area for a given frequency band For thenetwork in Figure 1 The ASE is calculated as the sum of thespectral efficiencies of each small cell divided by its servingarea and is given by

sum 120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (10)

This ASE metric links the network spectral efficiency and theservice area and is investigated as a function of119875 119889 and SNRIn Figure 10(a) ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 It is noted thatASE is a decreasing function of the distance since the area isproportional to 1198892 Also ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 and SNRin Figure 10(b) which depicts how both factors affect the ASEIt is clear that for large coverage area the network requiresmore BS power to achieve acceptable ASE

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

Figure 7 Energy efficiency of 28GHz and 73GHz mmWave bandsfor NLOS and LOS links as a function of BS power

network can be discussed in terms of delay-per-bit and energyefficiency Delay-per-bit is obtained by simulating (9) usingchannel parameters given in Table 1 and network parametersgiven in Table 2 The delay is plotted as a function of BSpower and user distance in Figures 9(a) and 9(b) respectivelyThese figures show that 73GHz band for LOS link achievesless latency than the 28GHz band for NLOS link Figure 9(a)shows that the delay decreases as the BS power increases Forexample the network latency is less than 1 nsbit when theBS power is greater than 20 dBm The energy efficiency ishighly impacted for such large values of BS power as shownin Figure 7 In terms of user distance the network latencyincreases as the distance increases as is clear fromFigure 9(b)In contrast the spectral efficiency is reduced as a functionof user distance which indicates that the two metrics are inconflictTherefore trade-offs among network latency energyefficiency and spectral efficiency metrics must be consideredfor optimum utilization of the mmWave bands

44 Area Spectral Efficiency The area spectral efficiency(ASE) is defined as the ratio of the average spectral efficiencyto the utilized area for a given frequency band For thenetwork in Figure 1 The ASE is calculated as the sum of thespectral efficiencies of each small cell divided by its servingarea and is given by

sum 120578SE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (10)

This ASE metric links the network spectral efficiency and theservice area and is investigated as a function of119875 119889 and SNRIn Figure 10(a) ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 It is noted thatASE is a decreasing function of the distance since the area isproportional to 1198892 Also ASE is plotted in terms of 119889 and SNRin Figure 10(b) which depicts how both factors affect the ASEIt is clear that for large coverage area the network requiresmore BS power to achieve acceptable ASE

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

5 Conclusions

In this paper mmWave cellular network is considered forindoor and outdoor applications in which the macrocells are

overlaid with multiple small cells A channel model basedon real measurements available in literature for LOS andNLOS transmission links was used to derive expressionsfor SNR and SINR in network considering intercell andintracell interference components The paper presented aframework for analysis of spectral and energy efficiencymetrics of the network for optimum utilization of networkresources The framework also included an investigation ofspectral efficiency energy efficiency and spatial performancemetricsThe analysis was done usingMonte Carlo simulationconsidering the effects of interference the path loss andsmall-scale fading The investigation of metrics has been

carried out as a function of BS power SNRmmWave networkparameters and channel model parametersThe results showthat the spectral efficiency is always in conflict with theenergy efficiency with regard to BS power and the maximumBS serving distance The 28GHz band can be expedient forNLOS links in the network and the 73GHz band is moreappropriate for LOS links

45 Area Energy Efficiency (AEE) The AEE is used to char-acterize the area data rate per unit BS power expenditure andcan be defined as

AEE = sum 120578EE119895119894119896119860119895119894 (11)

where 120578EE119895119894119896 is given by (8) and 119860119895119894 = 1205871198892119895119894 This metricprovides insight into the deployment and implementationchallenges for optimum mmWave band utilization The AEEis evaluated as a function of BS power and is shown inFigure 11(b) The metric severely deteriorates for high valuesof BS power however it maintains a certain level of perfor-mance at lower values of power Also it is observed that AEEslightly decreases as the radius of small cell increases as shownin Figure 11(a)

From the above results it is clear that there is alwaysa conflict between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency

in terms of power transmission The optimum utilization ofmmWave bands requires trade-off between these two per-formance metrics The 28GHz band achieves higher energyefficiency for a wide range of power transmission level whileit provides acceptable spectral efficiency for 119875119905 gt 20 dBm Onthe other hand the 73GHz is superior in terms of spectralefficiency however it performs poorly with respect to energyefficiency Regarding the transmission environment it canbe said that the 28GHz band is more advantageous thanthe 73GHz band for NLOS links such as indoor networksHowever the 73GHz bands are more suitable for LOS linksuch as outdoor mmWave links

Figure 11 Area energy efficiency of mmWave bands as a function of 119889 and 119875

overlaid with multiple small cells A channel model basedon real measurements available in literature for LOS andNLOS transmission links was used to derive expressionsfor SNR and SINR in network considering intercell andintracell interference components The paper presented aframework for analysis of spectral and energy efficiencymetrics of the network for optimum utilization of networkresources The framework also included an investigation ofspectral efficiency energy efficiency and spatial performancemetricsThe analysis was done usingMonte Carlo simulationconsidering the effects of interference the path loss andsmall-scale fading The investigation of metrics has been

carried out as a function of BS power SNRmmWave networkparameters and channel model parametersThe results showthat the spectral efficiency is always in conflict with theenergy efficiency with regard to BS power and the maximumBS serving distance The 28GHz band can be expedient forNLOS links in the network and the 73GHz band is moreappropriate for LOS links
