Abstract

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications is one of the most promising candidate technologies for next generation cellular networks due to the global bandwidth shortage for mobile broadband access. The susceptibility of millimeter waveform propagation to blockages, however, may largely restrict the coverage of mmWave signals. To overcome blockages, we propose to leverage two-hop device-to-device (D2D) relaying. Using stochastic geometry, we develop a coverage probability model for the downlink of a relay- assisted mmWave cellular network using dominant interferer analysis, which accounts for both beamforming gains and blockages. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the downlink coverage of a mmWave cellular network can be improved by using two-hop D2D relay transmissions.
