In this paper, using the concept of stochastic geometry, we present an analytical framework to evaluate the signal-to-interference-and-noise-ratio ($\text{SINR}$ ) coverage in the uplink of millimeter wave cellular networks. By using a distance-dependent line-of-sight (LOS) probability function, the location of LOS and nonLOS users are modeled as two independent nonhomogeneous Poisson point processes, with each having a different pathloss exponent. The analysis takes account of per-user fractional power control (FPC), which couples the transmission of users based on location-dependent channel inversion. We consider the following scenarios in our analysis: 1) pathloss-based FPC (PL-FPC) which is performed using the measured pathloss and 2) distance-based FPC (D-FPC) which is performed using the measured distance. Using the developed framework, we derive expressions for the area spectral efficiency and energy efficiency. Results suggest that in terms of $\text{SINR}$ coverage, D-FPC outperforms PL-FPC scheme at high $\text{SINR}$ where the future networks are expected to operate. It achieves equal or better area spectral efficiency and energy efficiency compared with the PL-FPC scheme. Contrary to the conventional ultra-high frequency cellular networks, in both FPC schemes, the $\text{SINR}$ coverage decreases as the cell density becomes greater than a threshold, while the area spectral efficiency experiences a slow growth region.
