  This paper focuses on wireless powered 5G dense cellular networks, where base
station (BS) delivers energy to user equipment (UE) via the microwave radiation
in sub-6 GHz or millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency, and UE uses the harvested
energy for uplink information transmission. By addressing the impacts of
employing different number of antennas and bandwidths at lower and higher
frequencies, we evaluate the amount of harvested energy and throughput in such
networks. Based on the derived results, we obtain the required small cell
density to achieve an expected level of harvested energy or throughput. Also,
we obtain that when the ratio of the number of sub-6 GHz BSs to that of the
mmWave BSs is lower than a given threshold, UE harvests more energy from a
mmWave BS than a sub-6 GHz BS. We find how many mmWave small cells are needed
to perform better than the sub-6 GHz small cells from the perspectives of
harvested energy and throughput. Our results reveal that the amount of
harvested energy from the mmWave tier can be comparable to the sub-6 GHz
counterpart in the dense scenarios. For the same tier scale, mmWave tier can
achieve higher throughput. Furthermore, the throughput gap between different
mmWave frequencies increases with the mmWave BS density.
