Introduction - If you have any usage issues, please Google them yourself
The ever growing traffic explosion in mobile
communications has recently drawn increased
attention to the large amount of underutilized
spectrum in the millimeter-wave frequency bands
as a potentially viable solution for achieving tens
to hundreds of times more capacity compared to
current 4G cellular networks. Historically,
mmWave bands were ruled out for cellular usage
mainly due to concerns regarding short-range
and non-line-of-sight coverage issues. In this
article, we present recent results channel
measurement campaigns and the development of
advanced algorithms and a prototype, which
clearly demonstrate that the mmWave band may
indeed be a worthy candidate for next generation (5G) cellular systems
