Abstract

There is increasing faith that mmWave technology will be part of 5G wireless networks in the wide frequency range 30-90 GHz. Experimental measurements are used to model mmWave channels addressing issues like human body shadowing or reflections due to moving vehicles. In this paper a new quasi-deterministic (Q-D) approach is introduced for modeling mmWave channels. The proposed channel model allows natural description of scenario-specific geometric properties, reflection attenuation and scattering, ray blockage and mobility effects. This new channel modeling approach is of utmost importance for further measurement campaigns planning, channel model characterization, system level simulations and network access capacity estimations.
