Abstract
Outage events caused by dynamic blockage of a radio signal propagation path are one of the key challenges in 5G millimetre‐wave (mmWave) cellular networks. To mitigate them, Third Generation Partnership Project standardisation has recently ratified multi‐connectivity techniques aiming to enable user connectivity to several base stations simultaneously, while switching between them whenever the currently active connection becomes blocked. A closed‐form upper bound on the probability density function of the respective system capacity in a random field of moving blockers is obtained.
