This paper aims at characterizing the energy efficiency (EE)—area spectral efficiency (ASE) tradeoff in random geometry networks with multiple-antenna arrays at base stations (BSs). In particular, ASE and EE are studied with respect to the transmit power when BSs use a signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SLNR) precoder. When the static power consumption cannot be neglected, EE behaves linearly with respect to ASE before a sharp decreasing of EE due to the interference-limited characteristic of the network. Our contribution relies on the derivation of a closed-form expression for ASE with SLNR precoder in the asymptotic regime, i.e., when the number of antennas and users grows to infinity, using stochastic geometry. We derive EE from a linear power consumption model afterwards. Unlike conventional SLNR precoders, the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio and the leakage to other cells are considered in a geometry-dependent network. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations show that despite the asymptotic nature of the theoretical analysis, the closed-form expressions are tight with respect to simulations even for the moderate number of antennas and users. Hence, the analysis can be used for realistic network performance analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
