We consider a heterogeneous ultra dense network (HUDN) with both the hexagon and Poisson point process (PPP) layouts, which is more relevant for practical scenarios. A user-centric and adaptive interference-aware non-coherent coordinated multi-point transmission (IA-CoMP) scheme is used as a system setup to reduce both the cross-tier and the co-tier inter-cell interference (ICI) for the HUDN with range expansion (RE) in small cells. Due to the involvement of hexagonal macrocells, it is intractable to analyze the coverage performance of HUDNs with IA-CoMP. To this end, we present a mobile station GrouPing (MSGP)-based coverage analysis method, which partitions all MSs into four groups according to their main interference, and the whole coverage is obtained as the sum of the coverage of each MS group. We demonstrate that the proposed MSGP-based coverage analysis method can provide a tight upper bound when compared with Monte Carlo simulations. As the small cell density increases, the system coverage of HUDNs with hexagonal macrocells reduces exponentially, while the system coverage of HUDNs with PPP-based macrocells remains unchanged. Moreover, the system coverage increases with the larger one of the main ICI judging coefficient and the RE bias.
