  The conventional outage in wireless communication systems is caused by the
deterioration of the wireless communication link, i.e., the received signal
power is less than the minimum received signal power. Is there a possibility
that the outage occurs in wireless communication systems with a good channel
state? Based on both communication and heat transfer theories, a
power-consumption outage in the wireless communication between millimeter wave
(mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) base stations (BSs) and
smartphones has been modeled and analyzed. Moreover, the total transmission
time model with respect to the number of power-consumption outages is derived
for mmWave massive MIMO communication systems. Simulation results indicate that
the total transmission time is extended by the power-consumption outage, which
deteriorates the average transmission rate of mmWave massive MIMO BSs.
