Summary
Chapter 4 analyzes in detail – from a theoretical perspective – the first practical caveat towards such linear growth of capacity in the ultra-dense regime, i.e. that of the impact of the transition of a large number of interfering links from non-line-of-sight to line-of-sight. Importantly, this chapter shows that the theoretical tools used until then to analyze traditional sparse or dense small cell networks, such as that presented in the previous chapter, do not directly apply to ultra-dense ones, and neither do their conclusions. In this chapter, we detail the path loss modelling upgrades necessary for a more realistic and accurate modelling of ultra-dense networks, present the subsequent and new theoretical derivations, and analyze the obtained results for the better understanding of the readers.
