English abstract:
In this work we investigate the performance of typical indoor users in urban two-tier heterogeneous mobile networks with indoor-deployed small cell base stations (BSs) and outdoor BSs. The urban topology is modeled by a Boolean scheme of blockages, which is tied together with the deployment of outdoor- and indoor BSs as well as the signal propagation characteristics. Each building is assumed to be served by an indoor small cell BS with a certain probability, which is denoted as occupation probability. Indoor and outdoor environments are partitioned by walls with a certain penetration loss. We separately account for outdoor BSs in line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS), as well as small cell BSs in neighboring and non-neighboring buildings. We derive expressions for the signal to interference ratio (SIR)-coverage probability and the average spectral efficiency of a typical indoor user. Numerical evaluations are performed with 3GPP compliant macro- and pico BS scenarios. Our results exhibit that the indoor area coverage, which is a function of the building density and size, significantly affects the impact of the target building´s wall penetration loss. The analysis is simplified by various assumptions, which are verified by extensive Monte Carlo simulations.
