Performance of Uplink Ultra Dense Network with Antenna Selection

Ultra Dense Network is promising as the potential topology of the 5G and Beyond network systems where various advanced techniques are being developed to improve the user performance. In this paper, the antenna selection technique is studied in terms of uplink coverage probability analysis. With assumption that the wireless transmission condition is under the effects of Nakagami-m as the fast fading and Stretched Path Loss Model (SPLM) as the slow fading, the paper derives the uplink coverage probability of the user in the Spatial Poisson Point Process network layout. Through the analytical results and Monte Carlo simulation, the paper illustrates that an increase in the number of antennas at the user can moderately reduce the its coverage probability.
