Dense deployments of millimeter-wave (mmWave) base stations (BSs) are being considered as the most feasible solution to meet the steadily growing data rate demands of mobile users. Accordingly, the achievable performance gains of mmWave-based dense networks in real deployments have to be studied carefully, since mmWave radio technology features specific transceiver, antenna, and propagation properties. In this paper, we contribute an accurate performance evaluation of single- versus dual-polarized MIMO systems operating over the mmWave channel in typical urban scenarios as well as address the impact of device- and network-centric parameters on the performance gains enabled by MIMO in dense to ultra-dense BS deployments. This study relies on our in-house ray-based modeler and takes into account the key mmWave system effects, such as multi-path propagation, utilization of dual-polarized antennas, and characteristic interference models. Our results show that the benefit of using mmWave- MIMO grows with increasing BS density, thus encouraging a further study of this technology especially for (ultra-)dense setups. We also demonstrate that non-coherent non-polarized diffuse scattering component may reduce the capacity gain of dual-polarized vs. single- polarized MIMO
