Millimeter Wave Performance Evaluation in Open Areas and Suburban Putrajaya

摘要

The demand for multi-gigabit data rate and insufficient spectrum in the microwave bands has inspire the use of millimeter wave bands in future fifth generation (5G) networks. In this paper, a 3D ray tracing model is used to analyse the statistical parameters for a millimeter wave channel operating at different carrier frequencies. The parameter consist of RMS delay spread, K-Factor and average received power. A map of Precint 9, Wilayah Persekutuan Putrajaya is used in the simulation of cellular implementation in millimeter wave. The effect of different antenna element geometries have also been investigated. The results of this work can be used as a basis to design a millimeter wave network to improve user quality of experience.
