Packet Level Performance Assessment of mmWave Backhauling Technology for 3GPP NR Systems

Recently standardized millimeter-wave (mmWave) band 3GPP New Radio systems are expected to bring extraordinary rates to the air interface efficiently providing commercial-grade enhanced mobile broadband services in hotspot areas. One of the challenges of such systems is efficient offloading of the d...
