In this letter, we propose a novel hybrid cooperation scheme in the context of heterogeneous sub-6 GHz/millimeter-wave cellular networks, where users are classified either as cell-center or cell-edge users. Using stochastic geometry tools, we propose an analytical framework to investigate the achieved performance of our proposed scheme. Specifically, analytical expressions for the moments of the conditional success probability are derived and a simple approximation of the meta-distribution is calculated, leveraging the moment-matching method with the Beta-distribution. Our results show that the proposed scheme is beneficial for the cell-edge users, and therefore, the overall network performance is significantly enhanced.
