Abstract
The global bandwidth shortage facing wireless carriers has motivated the exploration of the underutilized millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency spectrum for future broadband cellular communication networks. There is, however, little knowledge about cellular mm-wave propagation in densely populated indoor and outdoor environments. Obtaining this information is vital for the design and operation of future fifth generation cellular networks that use the mm-wave spectrum. In this paper, we present the motivation for new mm-wave cellular systems, methodology, and hardware for measurements and offer a variety of measurement results that show 28 and 38 GHz frequencies can be used when employing steerable directional antennas at base stations and mobile devices.

Decoupled Heterogeneous Networks With Millimeter Wave Small Cells

TL;DR: Analytical results reveal that with decoupled access, UEs are more likely to be associated with SCells in uplink when the network is sparse, and the uplink traffic will be offloaded from sub-6-GHz SCells to mm-wave SCells when thenetwork is dense.
