Fifth-Generation (5G) mmWave Spatial Channel Characterization for Urban Environments’ System Analysis

Fifth-Generation (5G) mmWave Spatial Channel Characterization for Urban Environments’ System Analysis

In this work, the channel characterization in terms of large-scale propagation, small-scale propagation, statistical and interference analysis of Fifth-Generation (5G) Millimeter Wave (mmWave) bands for wireless networks for 28, 30 and 60 GHz is presented in both an outdoor urban complex scenario an...
