Performance analysis of degradation detection method on millimeter wave channel

The rapid proliferation of the high quality video service and the wide spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to create an unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic. To satisfy the requirements of these services, the communication system supporting very high data rate (Giga-bps) is required. The next evolution of the access technologies is currently being discussed as 5G to provide the innovative solution and to overcome the problem of frequency band shortage. Many companies and research institutes are carrying out preliminary studies of next-generation services and providing their outlook and requirements for the 5G service. These studies pointed out that the possibility of service disruption due to high propagation loss and block cause by an obstacle in the communication path is a challenging issue. This paper analyzes the performance of the current state detection algorithm to detect the signal blockage and examine the applicability of millimeter wave (mmWave) service.
