This paper analyzes the efficacy of decoupled wireless access in a two-tier heterogeneous network. The decoupled wireless access and its performance benefits have been studied in different scenarios recently. In this paper, an in-depth analysis on its efficacy from spectral efficiency perspective is provided. To achieve this task, (i) new closed form expressions for probability of association of user equipment with different tiers employing different frequency bands (i.e., microwave and millimeter wave) with different pathloss exponents are derived using univariate Fox's H-functions; (ii) Distributions of the distance to the serving base stations are also derived; (iii) Exact expressions of spectral efficiency for different association cases are further obtained using bivariate Fox's H-functions. Furthermore, rigorous simulation results are provided which validate the aforementioned analytical results. In addition to that, a detailed discussion on the decoupling gain of decoupled wireless access and its efficacy is also provided. Lastly, despite the improvement provided by the decoupled wireless access, which is evident from the results presented in this paper, few questions are raised on its pragmatic value.
In a more recent work @cite_5 , the authors provided a comparative analysis of the decoupled and the coupled wireless access for two kinds of UE's distributions, namely uniform and clustered distributions, which are modeled as Poisson point and Neyman–Scott cluster processes, respectively. They borrowed analytical expressions of probability of cell association and distance distribution of a UE and its serving BS from @cite_16 and derived new analytical expressions for average user rate for two UE's distributions.

A recent way to model and analyze downlink cellular networks is by using random spatial models. Assuming user equipment (UE) distribution to be uniform, the analysis is performed at a typical UE located at the origin. At least one shortcoming of this approach is its inability to model non-uniform UE distributions, especially when there is dependence in the UE and the base station (BS) locations. To facilitate analysis in such cases, we propose a new tractable method of sampling UEs by conditionally thinning the BS point process and show that the resulting framework can be used as a tractable generative model to study current capacity-centric deployments, where the UEs are more likely to lie closer to the BSs. The spatial structure of transmitters in wireless networks plays a key role in evaluating the mutual interference and hence the performance. Although the Poisson point process (PPP) has been widely used to model the spatial configuration of wireless networks, it is not suitable for networks with repulsion. The Ginibre point process (GPP) is one of the main examples of determinantal point processes that can be used to model random phenomena where repulsion is observed. Considering the accuracy, tractability and practicability tradeoffs, we introduce and promote the @math -GPP, an intermediate class between the PPP and the GPP, as a model for wireless networks when the nodes exhibit repulsion. To show that the model leads to analytically tractable results in several cases of interest, we derive the mean and variance of the interference using two different approaches: the Palm measure approach and the reduced second moment approach, and then provide approximations of the interference distribution by three known probability density functions. Besides, to show that the model is relevant for cellular systems, we derive the coverage probability of the typical user and also find that the fitted @math -GPP can closely model the deployment of actual base stations in terms of the coverage probability and other statistics. In the analysis of large random wireless networks, the underlying node distribution is almost ubiquitously assumed to be the homogeneous Poisson point process. In this paper, the node locations are assumed to form a Poisson cluster process on the plane. We derive the distributional properties of the interference and provide upper and lower bounds for its distribution. We consider the probability of successful transmission in an interference-limited channel when fading is modeled as Rayleigh. We provide a numerically integrable expression for the outage probability and closed-form upper and lower bounds. We show that when the transmitter-receiver distance is large, the success probability is greater than that of a Poisson arrangement. These results characterize the performance of the system under geographical or MAC-induced clustering. We obtain the maximum intensity of transmitting nodes for a given outage constraint, i.e., the transmission capacity (of this spatial arrangement) and show that it is equal to that of a Poisson arrangement of nodes. For the analysis, techniques from stochastic geometry are used, in particular the probability generating functional of Poisson cluster processes, the Palm characterization of Poisson cluster processes, and the Campbell-Mecke theorem. In this letter, we introduce a general cellular network model, where: 1) users and base stations (BSs) are distributed as two general point processes that may be coupled; 2) pathloss is assumed to follow a multi-slope power-law pathloss model; and 3) 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 signal-to-interference ratio , 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 and Poisson cluster process.
