Abstract

The millimeter-wave frequency band is a promising candidate for future mobile communication in dense environments. The knowledge on the radio channel in outdoor environments is still very limited. In this paper we present measurements that have been performed in a busy urban outdoor environment at 60 GHz together with initial results. A typical small cell deployment scenario was used with static and mobile terminal positions. Human body shadowing events that affect the line-of-sight propagation have also been investigated.
