The influence of street furniture and tree trunks in urban scenarios on ray tracing simulations in the millimeter wave band

In this paper, the influence of tree trunks and cylindrical street furniture like lamp posts, which are typical environment objects in an urban scenario, is analyzed. These are modeled by cylinders and propagation characteristics computed according to the Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD). In order to get an understanding of the spatial characteristics of the channel, simulations with static and also mobile receivers have been performed.
