Abstract
Owing to its unparalleled tractability, the Poisson point process (PPP) has emerged as a popular model for the analysis of cellular networks. Considering a stationary point process of users, which is independent of the base station (BS) point process, it is well known that the typical user does not lie in the typical cell and thus may not truly represent the typical cell performance. Inspired by this observation, we present a construction that allows a direct characterization of the downlink performance of the typical cell. For this, we present an exact downlink analysis for the 1-D case and a remarkably accurate approximation for the 2-D case. Several useful insights about the differences and similarities in the two viewpoints (typical user vs. typical cell) are also provided.
