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.

A Broadband Circularly Polarized Fabry-Perot Resonant Antenna Using A Single-Layered PRS for 5G MIMO Applications

TL;DR: MIMO antenna is designed using the proposed antenna in such a way that the polarization diversity of the adjacent radiator is exploited, resulting in high isolation between antenna elements and low-envelope correlation coefficient, which makes it a suitable candidate for future 5G MIMO applications.

Coverage in mmWave Cellular Networks With Base Station Co-Operation

TL;DR: Numerical results suggest that coverage with base station co-operation in dense mmWave systems (i.e., with high average number of base stations per square meter), without small scale fading on the direct communications links, and with any probability of signal blockage, considerably exceeds coverage without co- cooperation.
