Cellular Broadband Millimeter Wave Propagation and Angle of Arrival for Adaptive Beam Steering Systems

TL;DR: This work provides angle of arrival (AOA) and RF multipath characteristics for highly directional antenna beams that may exploit non-line-of-sight propagation paths for futuristic channels at 38 GHz.

Rapid Fading Due to Human Blockage in Pedestrian Crowds at 5G Millimeter-Wave Frequencies

TL;DR: In this paper, a peer-to-peer measurement campaign was conducted with 7-degree, 15-degree and 60-degree half-power beamwidth (HPBW) antenna pairs at 73.5 GHz and with 1 GHz of RF null-to null bandwidth in a heavily populated open square scenario in Brooklyn, New York, to study blockage events caused by typical pedestrian traffic.

Hybrid beamforming for 5G millimeter-wave multi-cell networks

TL;DR: Simulation results show that CoMP based on maximizing signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio can improve spectral efficiency as compared to the no-coordination case, and spectral efficiency gaps between different beamforming approaches depend on the interference level that is influenced by the cell radius and the number of users per cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consumption Factor and Power-Efficiency Factor: A Theory for Evaluating the Energy Efficiency of Cascaded Communication Systems

TL;DR: The consumption factor theory presented here has implications for the minimum energy consumption per bit required to achieve error-free communication, and may be used to extend Shannon's fundamental limit theory in a general way.

Public Safety Communications above 6 GHz: Challenges and Opportunities

TL;DR: The potential of the frequencies above 6 GHz for PSC is illustrated and the open problems that need to be solved in order to pave this way are discussed.
