Performance Analysis for mmWave Cell-Free Access Network Based on Terahertz Backhaul
This letter proposes a downlink cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-mMIMO) network architecture integrating terahertz (THz) backhaul and millimeter wave (mmWave) access, where a source server transmits signals to the central processing unit (CPU) via THz links, then enabling adaptive decode-and-forward transmission to multiple fiber-connected mmWave access points (APs). A novel fluctuating two-ray (FTR) fading model is adopted to characterize mmWave links for accurate performance analysis. Closed-form expressions for outage probability and ergodic capacity are derived for maximum ratio combining (MRC) receivers, complemented by asymptotic analysis in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regimes. Extensive simulations validate the analytical results and demonstrate a critical trade-off: while increasing the number of APs yields marginal outage probability improvement due to THz backhaul limitations, it substantially enhances ergodic capacity through effective spatial multiplexing.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
