Abstract
We propose an analytical stochastic geometry-based model for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) heterogeneous cellular networks (HetNets) with zero-forcing (ZF) precoding at transmitting base stations (BSs) and partial zero-forcing (PZF) beamforming at receiving user equipments (UEs). The user and area spectral efficiencies are characterized using a non-direct moment-generating-function (MGF) methodology with closed-form expressions of the intended signal power and aggregate network interference statistics accordingly developed. The impact of different cellular network deployments, antenna configurations, and transmission schemes on achievable performance are examined through theoretical and simulation studies. The results confirm the promising potential of multi-antenna communications and small-cell solution in emerging wireless environments.
