Title
Hybrid mmWave-THz Networks with User-Centric Clustering
Abstract
This paper investigates a user-centric clustering model for a hybrid network comprising both millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) base stations (BSs). Based on the proposed model, a user can choose to be cooperatively served by multiple mmWave or multiple THz BSs depending on their link quality. Besides, to maximize the cooperation gains, the serving clusters are dynamically adjusted to user's channel conditions pertaining to the different properties of the mmWave and THz networks. Finally, we evaluate the coverage probability of the hybrid network by using stochastic geometric tools and validate the analysis through numerical simulations.
